https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Motivation_and_emotion/Book/2011/Sensation_seeking

and I feel no satisfaction from doing all the typical things in my life!!!!

all boring stuff, do this, do that, I was advised to take psychical education school to be a teacher

and all the sports are well.. boring to me!!¨¨

I loved MMA for it's sensation seeker element - the fighting..

but I also see and am attracted to base jumping, seen videos on youtubue and looks gr8!!!!

all the typical things in life don't interest or arouse me at all!!! all boring stuff make me a fucking zombie

--
if I start base jumping that would be cool, the rush, the stuff

but what tehre is to EXPLORE in base jump? do we have explorement of somehow? (I am also an explorer of somehow by personality type)

do we have some competitions? what do we have?? inform me please!!! =)

--
if I start mma - all there is to explore is explore the opponent! all theo ther stuff is just grind grind grind boring grind cardio & strenght and conditioniung

but fighting is cool - sensation seeking element


does any1 understand me??


any opinions?? Please ! THANSK!! =)

I know this might sound BORING to a "sensation seeker" like yourself, but maybe you should try doing a little research?

No. You're too awesome and unique.

The attitude you have is the major cause of fatalities in the sport IMHO. So if you want. we can direct you where to die where it doesnt screw up our access to the the jump.
Take care,

Quoting this so we can read it again once you make the news. UKmarkJ much?

Watch this, and ask yourself that question...

It's not about you. It will never be about you. It's about sacrifice. Men and women who died to fuel your fantasy.. It's sad... the more I get in the less it makes sense....This is commitment. holy shit. Commit or die. I am in love.

Or it could be about goofing off with your buddies, laughing at random shit on grueling hikes to keep from complaining, and flying around like a ground hungry bird. BASE isn't serious business (unless its Internet BASE forums), but if you don't know your shit or push too hard and too fast, then it can get serious. If this shit was as serious as you make it sound then I would have quit before I started.

Why do people that want to enter the hobby act like they are enlisting in the infantry? We need more Shane's and Roner's!

JUMP NAKED, BITCHES! PEACE!

+ .75 (I dinged you a bit for employing the apostrophe in your pluralization; grammar is serious shit.)

I totally disagree.

Encouraging people to enter into dangerous situations they aren't prepared for with a reckless attitude is exactly what we _don't_ need in BASE.

BASE is an adult activity. Behaving like a teenager when engaged in adult activities is silly. Pushing other people to do the same is irresponsible.

I think I'm missing your criticism, Tom. I don't think any of us are encouraging unprepared, reckless people to enter BASE. I think we're saying people who BASE jump should stop taking themselves so seriously. We're all idiots.

I think Shane and Roner do a great job of highlighting the fun, camaraderie, and silliness of what we do. And I wouldn't for a moment categorize either one of them as unprepared, incompetent, or reckless.

Proof that a smart phone is only as good as its user. DAMMIT!

And I have no idea what Tom is talking about. There is a difference between encouraging people to act stupid, and having a good time. Pretty sure I was talking about the latter but maybe not. I will continue to find humor in people who think doing something stupid (like jumping off low shit with a parachute) is a serious activity that requires a stiff lipped and straight brow approach. The only reason people should BASE jump is because its a shit ton of fun with a small side dish of personal challenge. If you jump because:

1. you are bored with life
2. you need more sacrifice in your life
3. you think it will get you laid
4. you have no friends and you think this will help
5. its the only way you could figure out how to face your fears

then you should probably try sucking less at life and your life might suck less.

My message to those looking to get into it is this:
Read this site. Especially the threads and articles that explain exactly how to approach getting to your first jump. These are not rules, but are important for learning to save your life when things do get serious, and not fucking it up for everyone else. Plus, they will help you be excepted into your local community. Its supposed to be fun. And Shane never forgot that.

To the OP:
So learn a bunch to improve your chances, and when you make it to jump time, jump with a big shit eating grin, because your serious approach laced with sacrifice, MMA dick sucking, and life-ending boredom, alone wont save your life.

Just my $0.13

The internets are dumb

I feel you Outabounz, I guess everyone is just different. I will continue to take a very serious approach to BASE. Thats just how I am. I will also have a lot of fun. I think you can do both. Your infantry analogy is good though. Exchanging bullets with the enemy is fun until someone gets shot, or goes in on a routine jump. Then it gets serious.

+1 on the internets being dumb.

This is the post I was referring to. You will never do anything more selfish than BASE jump. Nobody will ever make you jump. Nobody will ever talk you out of not jumping. Nobody will tell you that you have to jump because people died.

What I'm getting at is it is all about you. It is 100% unarguably about YOU and no one else.

That is all, this discussion is getting to serious for me.

Agreed. Too serious. My fault sorry. Me + booze + forum = bad. Jump naked.

I like your new sheep.

Thanks. His nose looks like a scrotum. Kinda funny.

Great post!

If you have to ask if you should start BASE jumping, the answer is no. My guess is you have no skydiving experience which means no idea how to safely land a canopy or how to handle an off heading/malfunction. Just go pick up skateboarding or soccer like a normal kid.

i have no idea how to safely land a canopy, and so far ive had nothing but fun.............

wow, such logic. Thats deep, man. Are you pro?

[gay][high pitched][singing]Luv it![/gay][/high pitched][/singing]

Troll...

Dude so pro! You have no idea how pro I am.

the rush is cool, not something you could describe and do it justice.

the stuff, on the other hand...that's what you have to pay attention too.

i watched my friend slam into the side of a tower the other nigh. not fun, man. not fun at all.

That is the beauty of BASE, it is YOUR choice.

Oh yeah, if you want sensations go piss on an electric fence, or stick a taser up your sphincter.

Good thing Chris from applebees was there to make you a virgin strawberry daiquiri while we cried over my damaged canopy

for the love of GOD, i HATE chris from applebees. why is it that only fat chicks and gay guys are into me? cant i find a nice beautiful girl out there?
sigh

I didn't know Greenmachine was in boy scouts!!!!!!
Sorry Tom, I couldn't resist. Please forgive me!! Although I don't think you could grow such an epic beard.

Ask the Silver-Wings about my beard

Also still know the boy scout creed:

I promise to do my best to do my duty
for God and my country, to help other
people and obey the laws of the pack.

I think thats Tiger Scouts dude.

Here, for all sensation seekers, we recommand that :

enjoy your stay at la fistiniere ! good sensations for you !


PS: not really safe for work ... not safe for any place in fact

Yeah, great. That's in my browsing history. At least I'm not logged into anything google related.

I told you, NSF anyPlace ...

But having that in your browsing history prove to the world that you too are a sensations seeker, better than any youtube video history

Not Safe for anything just means you must look no matter what.

And this....

I laughed... For real. That too is a sensation.

Sometime in the near future, I'm going to make sure my brother opens that page at an inappropriate time.

i just threw up a little bit
