This might sound like a dork question, but I feel the need to ask it.
I think it takes a special kind of person to do what you guys do. (I LOVE to watch, but am well aware I don't have the coordination or physical ability to pull it off myself.)
That makes me wonder--what else are you into? Hobbies, music preferences, etc. I figure there are probably some pretty intense personalities on here and I'm curious what other stuff appeals to you.
Thanks in advance. :)

Surfing is probably my next biggest love behind parachutes. I also love fishing and anything else to do with the water. I ride racing four-wheelers and raced motocross at one time till I screwed up both my wrists. I also enjoy doing little romantic things with my fiancé for putting up with all my little spur of the moment jumping sabbaticals, and of course cause I love her a whole bunch. I'm a student in college becoming a professor in mathematics. That bout sums me up outside of parachutes.

Elizabethan poetry, long walks on the beach, missionary work in Bangladesh, listening to Tuvan throat singing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTCJ5hedcVA.

Jerking off is pretty popular--or so I hear.

Menace1262 If you wouldn't mind - I see that your going to be a proffesor in mathematics - would you be able to shed any light onto the recent phenominim about Neutrenos accelarating faster than the speed of light?

I know I'm not a jumper Solo93 just thought I'd ask/share this if that's cool.

They may not be accelerating past light speed. They may intrinsically travel faster than light in a way akin to the tachyon hypothesis.

If this video had some Tuvan throat singing, it would be really hot: http://www.fameupload.com/video/26020/Kill-Whitey.html

This reminds me in a way of the Eddie Murphy skit on SNL where he played the singer in a reggae band at a veterans of foreign wars and legionnaires convention. he opened with the song "kill all the white people." quite funny. http://video.google.com/...-4402897013051860643

I'm a half-black Jew from wyoming that loves skiing, fart jokes, Lady Gaga, Ronald Reagan movies, and good single malt highlands scotch (as well as PBR and Zima).

Glad I could help.

Don't judge me, I wear my heart on my sleeve.

I haven't laughed like that in a long time, I needed that.

Oh God! Why hasn't this gone viral!

Climbing, skiing, dirtbiking, and mountain biking seem to be the biggest common traits between us mountain folk.

down in south florida: surf, skateboard, atvs, discgolf, wingsuit, tarpon fishing, climbing A's. streetbikes, bitches!

Same as others, ride dirt bikes, surf, rock climb, i run a church in michigan (dont hate), spend way too much time in coffee shops, and beastie boys all the way!

Hey! you're the guy from the articles!

Articles?? What articles? Good ones i assume :)

Yes, your interview is in the articles on BJ.com

other than parachute fun, i like pretty much anything outdoors, but the most fun thing outside of skydiving i have done was a DEMO derby. blast.

Dirt bikes mostly. I've put on a few FMX shows in Utah. Grew up surfing in southern california. rock climbing, a little bit of scuba, wake boarding, snow boarding, skateboarding, bmx, trampolines, and i pretend that i like to hike now that I BASE.

was in metal band. Everyone played every instrument so we'd take turns playing a different instrument every song.

Thanks a lot, to everybody who answered. I really enjoyed reading the responses. :-) I think the rest of the site will continue to keep me busy for a while, too. *g*

that throat video makes laugh alot.
