Looks like fun if you're responsible. Intentional near-miss flybys are a recipe for disaster....

I'll tell you what, that there looks like one hell of a ride. After a few months of training I'll be good to go. I've always loved heights. I should be an iron worker.

Dropping hundreds of feet, suspended by a giant rubber band?
No thank you! (Phobia of extreme heights kicking in...)

BASE jumping is like skydiving but instead of jumping out of an airplane you are jumping from:
Building
Antenna
Spans
Earth
I've done skydiving a few times but never base jumping. I would love to give it a go.pafindr

No desire to skydive, BASE or bungee.
A local skydive business is going to give out one free tandem jump to vet's providing a copy of their 214 this Veteran's Day. I thought about it for a millisecond.This career is not a sprint, it is a marathon.

Whoops, my mistake... I confused it for bungee jumping.
Either way... I don't like being dropped.
Four noisy cylinders don't have the soul of eight cylinders playing the tune that my right foot orchestrates.
