I hung it up nearly five years ago, after a fellow jumper, in our crew went in.

Not a goddam day goes by that I don't think about jumping - walking into the supermarket or home depot, I'll see my # on price tags. Driving down the road, I'll see it in license plates... I use my # to mark my hand tools.

I've found similar delight in other activities. Strangely enough, fishing is very similar to base jumping... A shit-ton of preparation, for a small burst of excitement. Kite skiing has been the next best thing to jumping, I still get to "fly" something and if you're not careful, it could really mess you up.

It's been a long time since I've been on the edge of something and not been attached in some way or another.

It's been a long time since I've felt the juice...

It's been far too long since I've felt anything close to a calling in life.

But damn it all if I don't get to feel it this week.

You will know when it is time. best of luck.

He was a good man with a great heart. Took my dad on his second tandem. I still think about him. Have a great time out here and enjoy the moment! Take a banana with you for the missing monkey. ;-)

WHO?

im sorry it effected you so! also glad to hear your getting back in the game!

have fun :) !!!

thats a good one. hilarious.
knitting is very similar to basejumping too. and bowling.
exactly the same.


live it up dude.
everybody dies eventually.

Right ON. You'll know, but make sure you go for it. I've sat on the edge of a S for 5 minutes after a year out for injuries. Great head trip. If it happens, go ahead and enjoy that too. Great memory. Scary, but a hell of a lot of fun when you go. Remember. Life is worth living only when you remember to Celebrate the Human Spirit". I promise, you'll love it after you go for it and you'll regret it forever, if you don't. You OWE it to Only Yourself.

ENJOY

I remember when that incident happened. it was right after we jumped the awesome A you took me too. You'll know when to jump again and I know your heads up enough. I hope all is well.
