this reads like an investigative reporter. just go to the dropzone and make some skydives. one man's sane is another man's crazy.

What kind of stuff did you do to get the rush rock/ice/alpine climbing?

let the games begin!

My take is that some of us used to hunt our food and fight each other for territory or some other stupid reason.

We did that for thousands of years, mostly men but in some societies woman also. In contemporary, mostly western society, we just don't get to do that anymore and our bodies are telling us that there is something wrong. The only adrenaline rush we get in when we almost ram into the back of another car in traffic.

Some of us who most feel it end up doing drugs which are only a temporary solution in my opinion. The fall of the roman empire was due in part to the consumption of opium and general decadence. The fall of the western world will be due to the consumption of cocaine and general decadence... But hey that's a whole different story.

Others take up sports like BASE jumping which fulfill that need our bodies have created over thousands of years of high adrenaline activities and pacify the monster inside. This sort of activity brings a healthy balance to the lives of these kind of people and we can go on doing mundane things like mow the lawn or sweep the patio...

Others take up activities such as BASE and do drugs... ok I have to go pick up the dog craps in the garden... and water my ganja plant.

Sounds like the guy recently who posted his own website talking about how he and his buds loved wicked high antennaes. Pull your string man!

people who where seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who couldn't hear the music

 

Will you STFU already with your self agrandizing egocentric posts. They scream 16 year pock marked kid posting from his mom basement.

There are people that hike your "uber commited situation" in flip flops before breakfast and none of them feels the need to spray to a bunch of strangers on the internet how fucking awesome they are. In fact, the only reason they are able to do what they do with any respectability is that they do everything possible to keep their ego supressed...

You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else.

Oh, and you will enjoy skydiving. I suggest you try it.

Ha! Is that a Chuck Palinuik reference or just coincidence? It's funny...often when I'm talking/writing about base i see/hear myself using his style.

AFF's an uber rush man! Should be ready for proximity flying in about a week

what do you mean man, dude, bro you don't need that aff shit.....utube will teach you all that is needed to know for proxy flying with a squirrel suit.

just make sure to read your manual that comes with your new Hanwags on how to use them.

Yeah, I guess you're right. As long as you take lots of drugs and go ice climbing occasionally, it should just all come naturally.

 

Ignore all the negative Nancys. Tell some lies to obtain some gear and go for it. If you screw up, it will only happen once.

yeah nnn this guy should nkow!!!

Take a look at this...

if you have a burning need for risk to feed the beast inside, you are likely to end up as a statistic.

we see enough carnage from smart, well prepared people.

typically, it's hard for people with your attitudes to accept guidance and remain safe.

feel free to prove us wrong.

1. Most BASE accidents aren't fatal, and some injuries can't be repaired. That could worry you more than death.

2. Until you have a healthy number of parachute jumps under your belt you have no clue what you don't know. It's pretty easy to get yourself in trouble.

welcome to the BASE forum. : ) btw i resent the term 'cunts', fun loving flaming mofos might be more appropriate.

and to echo drew, we're all gonna die someday, you should be more concerned with fucking yourself up and living to tell the tale.

hahaha...best quote ever. They should tell that shit to kids in school, maybe we might get some original ideas for a change.
