Overall sweet piece. This line cracked me up though.....would have been cooler if EXTREME would have been yelled.

"Bridge Day is not safe basically the best way to describe it and that's what makes it so cool."

Blah.....

I would agree.....overall, a great story and I'm happy with the way it turned out. You never know if the media will turn these things into shit, so it's nice to see the good ones.

Bridge Day is indeed "not safe". I knew they would use that line as soon as I said it. But it's true. Skiing, hunting, motorcycles, scuba diving, skateboarding, bowling, etc. are not safe either. I guess I'm just tired of everyone asking if BASE jumping is safe, so honesty is the best policy. Life isn't safe.

They even showed my catapult! Yeah.
