Parachuting

[TAS 2]

Has anybody ever done this! Went to a Mothers day polo match (the game itself is pretty boring, but the alcoholic beverages and the outdoorsiness was cool) and in between chuckers (periods for those who do not follow polo) they had 5 jumpers drop from what I think they said was 8000 ft. One of them was a high school sophomore who had already had about 25 jumps or so.

Just frickin' insane. Although the ride must be an experience like no other, I could never do it! The view must be breathtaking though!

I jumped in the swiss alps.

Take a balloon ride.

Was that your first jump? What is the rush like? Probably like no other. I would be like the whole trip down.

Haven't actually parachuted, but I've done the next best thing.

 

I climbed on top of a stall in the men's room and took a dump from a good six feet in the air.

 

Missed the toilet bowl, but it was my first try. What do you expect?

The effort was there, that's all I ask, son! Good job!

Yes.

Undescribable.

I felt high the rest of the day.

Tandem or solo? Either way, you my friend are a ballsy motherfocker!

I bungeed off this crane that's normally used to build skyscrapers.

 

I don't know how I it was, but I do know it made the safety pad below look like a little yellow speck.

 

It was down at the beach, and all these old drunken beach bums would spend their day hanging on the fence and hollering things at the jumpers.

 

If the jumper chicked out after the countdown, the bums would really be laughing and yelling stuff.

 

So when I got up there, there was no way I wasn't jumping.

 

It's quite the sensation to be standing the and jumping into the abyss.

 

I did it, and it was freakin' amazing. I had to drink about a 12-pack before I could calm down.

 

I'll never do it again, though.

Tandem.

 

It really wasn't that ballsy. I wanted to do it.

for the jump! Big balls Rusty!

I wonder if people ever shart during a bungie jump.

Is the Pope catholic? Is a frogs ass water tight? Does Dolly Parton sleep on her back?

Oh boy. So then you end up hanging upside down with a load in your pants.

 

Gravity can be an ugly thing.

Try that from the bathroom stall!

Agreed anyone can piss on the floor, it takes a real man to shiot there....or on the ceiling for that matter.

[brinett9 0]

No no. No upside down.

 

What you do is straddle the top of the stall, one foot on the top of the stall wall on each side.

 

Then you look down and yell, "Bombs away! Take THAT, Tojo!" and let loose.

 

It's a game I call "B-29".

If you were going for artistic impression, I would suggest eating alot of prunes, followed by a liter of soda! Van Goh would have nothing on you.

You sound as though you have mastered the art?? What's up w/ that?

As I mentioned, my only bomb drop to date was a miss.

 

The key may be to go to Taco Bell and do more of an area bombing rather than precision bombing.

 

Oddly enough, this exactly parallels the allied experience with strategic bombing during WWII.

You can "parachute" ecstacy.

 

Crush it up and put it into a small piece of paper towel and swallow it.

I parachuted from Hillsborough Airport (near Portland) bout 10 years ago, saw every peak of the Cascade Mountain range from Washington to So. Oregon, it was the best non-drug induced high of my life. I told the guy he had to give me a push though, couldn't jump on my own.

You gotta go again to prove you can do it!

Screw that, I'm OK with what I accomplished on that one.

[The Moz 69]

Did it a few times when I lived in Vegas. 1st time you had to go tandem with the intructor and that was okay but going by myself was great ! I would definitley do it again.

[Slruc 0]

I would do this in a heartbeat.

 

Hella Coo.

I did a tandem jump (am not sure if any place will let you do it solo your 1st time). I absolutely loved it!!! The best part of it is when the chute is open. You just float down and you are just totally at peace. The free falling was cool, but it hurt my back the whole way down because you have to arch it so charply and my back couldn't do it.

 

I would easily do it again if I thought it was financially worth it. It was like $200 to jump. It is more than worth it the 1st time, but I just can't see it still being worth it the next time.

 

The scariest moment is the few seconds before you actually jump. After that it is easy.

 

I highly recommend it.

No way. I can't bungy jump or parachute. I have jumped off very high quarries in rockport into the water. That's enough for me.

[scottk 0]

Solo. First 3 seconds.....absolute total brainf*ck ..........then absolute total kicka$$!!!

 

Also, when the chute opens (thank God), you go from very noisy rushing wind at 120 MPH to very, very quiet with just the slight rustle of the chute.

 

Got a video of it scored with Alice and Chains "Would" and the Screaming Trees........
