    NICE!!! I use to climb high voltage towers near my house as a kid. The ones on top of a hill are even more fun with the red flashing light on top to warn airplanes. I have climbed up to the red light.

    Yes I am afraid of heights, that's what makes it fun/scary/thrilling.

    Yes also STUPID climbing high voltage towers.

    I almost got a job a few years ago climbing radio towers to do repairs. God that would be fun/thrilling/scary.

    hear that all the time..truth of the matter is that it doesnt really register that high up. on a structure you have some reference (the tower itself) so yeah you might freak a bit, but out of a plane we normally exit at 14k and the fear of heights doesn't really register theres no reference only the relative wind....for first time jumpers though we have always had more guys land with the plane than girls

    HAHA fvck bowling too

    I'd love to skydive but theres no effin way i'm ever doin it. I could care less really..... I don't need to add it on my life resume to be happy so I just save myself the stress and keep my feet on the ground.

    I used to love rollercoasters and shit..... not anymore. For some reason...... those things don't thrill me anymore.

    I work on roofs for a living. I'd die if I fell off half the roofs I work on anyways so I would definitely do this for a living. The only difference is if I fall off that tower it would be way more fun than falling 50 ft.

    so i just watched that and by the end my hands were sweating so bad lol, when he got to the very top and was just holding on to that little pole amd he let go for a second it looked like to get his clip to hook on I about died lol, ive climbed to the top of a telephone pole before wanna of the larger wooden ones and jumped off the top of it and standing there balancing on it was pretty scary because there was nothing to hold on to. That is nothing compared to this lol forget that
