just wondering if there is a active jumper out there that is a phychologist.

 

I've been called a psycho before. Does that count?

Is this a poll?

same here

yes

Why do you ask?

Are you a BASE jumping Yosemite NPS officer?

It would be interesting if there was one out there somewhere and to talk to them. One of my parents friends is some famous sports psychologist in Cali that works with tennis players and golfers. Although he has never met me he loves to tell my parents I have an addictive and self destructive personality with suicidal tendencies. I'd love to give him a good throat punch...maybe that would convince him to go back to analyzing golfers.

BASE jumping mycologist should be similar.
Take care my friend.

What a dick. Rape his butthole just to show him a thing or two.

Interesting question. Yes, as a matter of fact, I am a skydiving psychologist. How does that make you feel?

anxious?

And then he would sociopath to the list of problems with FreeFallFiend!

Well, I can totally understand a phycologist wanting to BASE jump, because algae is freakin' boring. (and that's what phycology is the study of).

As far as psychology goes, try this article: http://outside.away.com/...science-brain-1.html

Also when all else fails just bombard them with random statistics about how dangerous driving, having a pool, etc is. It's not a sensical argument for BASE jumping but it can usually confuse or deride them into shutting up. ;D

I think that's a great article

But he could also then add homosexuality to the list of HIS problems.

That's why I have it saved in my bookmarks :) It's a very interesting read, although I'd want them to have a larger case groupy thingy.

 Hey there

Why are you asking ? Was it because of the article in SkiCanada on Shane ? They interviewed some bozo PSYCHO-logist that said Shane never would have Base jumped had he not been sponsored and getting paid, I love over-educated dipshits that don't have a clue.

Knew one, but he committed suicide.

To be is to do- Sarter
To do is to be- Descarte
Bo be do be do- Sinatra

At least not a typist:
Sarter is Sartre
Bo be do be do = Do be do be do

Wouldn't Descarte be to think is to be?
I think therefore I am.
I suppose you are right if what you are doing is thinking...

Sartre = existential philosopher probably
best known for the short play: No Exit

Descarte = philosopher who coined the
famous phrase: I think therefore I am

Descarte = Descartes.... ha ha

Ronald

...Yes indeed.
