roscoep 0 #9 February 13, 2007 my mother-in-law, who HATES that her daughter and I both jump, allready called demanding to know why his "back up didn't work". It's not gonna change her mind, but I'll try to explain. It's like trying to explain to someone, that despite airbags and seatbelts, people still get hurt and killed in car accidents.

squarecanopy 0 #10 February 13, 2007 Ya, no joke! My boss came by my office after seeing the vid and said "See there, that whacko sport is going to kill you yet-I guess I will just have to take out some more life insurance on you." I got my heart rate up to about 150 just watching the video - Just burning a hole in the sky..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
