My friend has been trying to get me to tandem jump with him for 12 years. My answer is always the same "What? Are you fucking nuts?!?!?!"Rick wrote:Saint John wrote:I think that was some nice trick camera work. At any rate, there's no fucking way I would walk that trail. You'd have to put a gun to my head.
Me either. My daughter got a skydiving trip for Christmas. You couldn't get me to jump out of a plane for anything, unless it was on fire. I get shaky on a stepladder.

LOL heap of shit? Pretty fancy restaurant at the top. Yes been up to the top for dinner a few times, but that doesn't seem to scare me probably cuz it is enclosed. I work on 29th floor and look out often enough so it's more when it's an open area or my heet aren't touching something. Skyride or ski lift, no way.

Ever ride the Grouse Mountain Gondola in North Van up to Grouse Mt? Ooooohh boy. Go over the tower stanchions and you about shit yourself.

His shadow over the steps looks wrong too - no distortion as the surface angle changes, it looks more the way a shadow would look as it goes up a ramp. In addition, when the 'cameraman' overtakes people on the path, there isn't enough sideways motion to get past a person with a back pack, and as others have said, the speed with which it moves is suspect.
I'm punting on a bloody good computer animation job using photo grounds and film cut in. I'll admit I'd be a little less suspicious if the location was identified - even the Spanish aren't going to let a path in that condition become a backpackers trail. Dare devils breaking the barrier, sure, but why the hell would they be carrying backpacks?
I'm calling it bullshit - which is a shame, because I'd do it in a heartbeat! With heart racing the whole time, sure, but I'd still be doing it! Adrenaline - who needs any other drug?
Did Tito hold your hand, cry,than piss his pants?Saint John wrote:Tito and I went to a Plokker party on the 40-somethingth floor at Lake Point Towers overlooking Lake Michigan ($$$$$$$$)and the place had floor to ceiling windows. Standing right next to the window looking down was a trip, man. You kinda had to do it slowly. Sweet place, though!!!

You would try anything,Rhiannon wrote:
I'd hike it. So long as I had the harness. No big deal. I have a strange fear of heights, I can look down all day long, but if I look up at the edge of something high up, I'm done. In college we hiked some pretty wicked trails along the black mountains of NC, rappelling, rock climbing, all that. That trail looks fun to me.
