I was checking out our newest jump downtown. A nice 400 fotter with sketchy landing. While leaning over the edge and watching my windrift, I really thought I was going to climb the rail and go full well knowing I had no rig on. This urge hits me all the time when I'm up high working.

I had to make a little mental effort calm myself even.

Then I had to run to the toilet.

This B had better be worth it.

I know that feeling very. very well! It scares the crap out of me all the time. It started years before I ever did my first BASE jump. I would go to what is now a local E just to climb up the backside and go hang my head over the cliff face.
My urge to jump was always sooo strong I would crawl to the edge as I almost didn't trust myself. I have never quite been able to figure out where this comes from?!?!
