There is no such thing as gravity. The Earth sucks! :{)
Next, time do it in the coaster! the security people were freaking out.
LOL
The guy next to me was shaking when we got done.
I was laughing and clapping.
He said I’m crazy.
Back in line.....
And still standing? Commendable!
Do some women express this desire for risk/thrills by being attracted to “bad boys?”
Some women are strongly drawn to men who are more than a little like going to bed with a tiger.
How is the new stadium/.
Thats only a 12 pack. Certainly drunk but far from ‘still standing’. At least from what I remember from my drunk years ;)
“We know that testosterone is a hormone linked to high risk behavior”
YES, YES IT IS....AND IT ISNT GOING TO CHANGE ANY TIME SOON...
When I was 18, I took a couple of static-line jumps and rode a mechanical bull (this was during the Urban Cowboy craze). I’m not a risk-taker by nature, but my 18 year old hormones overrode even my mild nature.
It looks odd but, I understand from a friend, who will have a box, it will be incredible.find out next year.
I swear I could Saint Peter’s house from the top of that ride.
LOL
Don't forget that Hell's Angels was started by WW II vets who couldn't handle the confining regimented life of post-war America.
I think the real reason they use 18 and 20 year olds is because they are available and healthy, not tied to careers and families, and not over 40.
Great pictures!! Second pic reminds me of the skydive part in the movie Fandango..ARCH ARCH!!
I was able to do some CRW only a few times..awesome!

The women skydivers I knew were all quite intelligent and none with “bad boys.” They had sense enough to avoid them. The guys I knew women with were designing gear, doing film work,tv,teaching the sport, etc. “Bad boys” were pretty looked down on. I’m married to an ex-Mormon who’s a 727 captain for a VIP. Of course with pilots they tend to be “bad boys” in a different way. My husband hasn’t set any bars on fire, gotten crew kicked out of hotels, etc., however he did make a Delta captain cry once.
It’s been years, great memories. I acquired my expert license so as to leap from El Capitan. As luck would have it they forbade that just as I was planning the trip. About 300 jumps, over 2 hrs freefall, last jump in 1983 or 4 or so.
Saw the remains of the hangar in Fandango yesterday. Some vermin burned it a few years ago and just the outer wall frames left. Rattlesnake Field is almost all gone.
Because it is fun.
Now hold my beer. Watch this!
80’s was when I was skydiving, just a baby though with 95 jumps. Got married & got pregnant. End of my skydiving career. Sure was fun. Boogies at Skydive Arizona, DC3’s.
Don’t think I could handle a BASE jump.
NOOO!! Just thinking about that movie cracks me up. Why do people do such things?
Meant to get back to you.
While waiting to get back on Top Gun noticed Levi’s Stadium lit up.
Looked awesome and beautiful.
