Re: [badenhop] is BASE going to "cost me?"
In reply to:
there are multiple polls and threads
the bottom line is "yes"
1.economically
2.emotionally
3.mentally
4.physically
it's an addiction
1=it is not free, you will lose lots of money on "it"
2=it is not free, you will lose friends and family over "it"
3=it is not free, you will always think about "it"
4=it is not free, you will go to the hospital for "it"
one way or another
for one or the other
it'll cost you a girl or a brother
and that's just "lowballin'"
we've seen the best of the best go from podium to memorium
we've seen the unknown top the list
we've seen the invincible done or crippled
i have seen a life END
on a BASE jump
where do you think you'll fall in?
what's it going to cost me? all of the above...
i've paid over $1,000 for a single BASE jump, twice. was it worth it? hell yeah
i've busted myself up good, still can't wear 3" heels anymore but was it worth it? guess i was never meant to be 5'5"
i'm a single parent because my s/o didn't want me to BASE? that's a tough one.
seeing my friends die? i wouldn't trade off knowing these incredible like minded individuals for anything. but everytime one of them goes in i would trade my life for theirs.
"i feel that this has given me the most incredible and wonderful thing that i have ever been given, and also the worst, it's a mixed bag. i have been taken to the absolutely to the depths of extreme terror by this, i've had my whole soul underminded by it, on the one hand. on the other hand my experience has been about finding joy"

dj shadow says it so much better than i ever could.
