masterrig 1 #29 April 6, 2005 I can show you a 6" scar on the top of my head from just that! Later, when I had kids... dad-gum! Especially when my oldest boy got his first 20" bike and stood on the cross-bar... down hill! That'll give ya' ulcers. I EARNED every one of my gray hairs!

GTAVercetti 0 #30 April 6, 2005 QuoteMy husband thinks that all (or a very large %) of skydivers were treeclimbers as kids. We asked around the DZ one day and it did appear to be a large % that were treeclimbers. So did you climb trees when you were a kid? Christina Definitely. In fact, we even had a tree climbing club when I was little with different ranks: Level 1 (chipmunk) - You could climb almost to the top of a tree Level 2 (squirrel) - You could climb all the way to the top and hang from a branch there for a few seconds Level 3 (monkey) - You could climb anywhere it was possible in the tree, hang from a branch and traverse to another branch from the hang. I was a monkey. This is very similar to the idea that many computer programmers played with Lego's Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Andrewwhyte 1 #35 April 6, 2005 What's this "when we were kids bit?" We have a contract to light up a park at Vancouver International Airport every Christmas. Between Riggerrob and myself we climb about 120 trees every year. The sight of Riggerrob (all 200lbs of him) sitting atop a sixty foot tree in the wind is downright scary.

kelel01 1 #36 April 6, 2005 Not at all. I was a gymnast, so I was on top of high bars and such a lot, but I didn't like climbing trees. It hurt my hands and made them dirty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpchikk 0 #42 April 6, 2005 I was always in trees as a child. We used to jump from tree to tree and build forts in them. Man, those were the days!! Now, I just land in em.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTAVercetti 0 #43 April 6, 2005 QuoteI was always in trees as a child. We used to jump from tree to tree and build forts in them. Man, those were the days!! Now, I just laid in em.... Aww yeah. We had this MASSIVE tree fort built into an apply tree in my neighbors back yard. It had 5 levels and nails sticking out EVERYWHERE. We even made a chair recline on one of the levels. And behind it there was a long row of soft pines that were really close together. I would say about 75 trees. ANd there were vines intertwined in the row so at certain points you could lay about 25 feet up in a nest of vines. We used to go from one end to the other without touching the ground! That was sweet. Of course, if you DID fall, it was probably onto the electric fence for the cow pasture that bordered the trees. I knocked myself out a few times like that.
