I am soo into doing that!!!!!
I would pay money for that! That looks awesome.
Before reading this thread I feared the website might have spiraled into a mix of Craigslist fetish add and forum combined....
Than, I saw the video and realized it was much much more s ickening......... I got queazy watching that. I used to climb poles but nothing like that.... And I though the 80 foot poles along Hempstead Turnpike were bad!
OMG my "boys" were tingling that whole video. :eek:
Piece of cake... LOL. I LOOOOOVE heights.... this would be a THRILL to do! I once had the privilege of going to the edge of WTC Tower 1 's edge on my belly and looked over the edge from the window washing rig... super cool. My great freind (late friend now) ran the PIX Channel 11 transmitter at the center and lost his life on 9/11 while keeping the station on the air... anyway, other story, back to climbing... I am SO THERE!
Isnt this ironic? I have a fear of heights also. But yet we love things that fly and go up high in the sky? :confused:Quote:

On top of a mountain with just a ledge?? :eek::eek::eek:
I knew there was something about you I was missing.Quote:

Awesome video though!
I can go on top of the Willis Tower or fly without a problem, but just climbing a ladder is too much for me. Can you tell I'm plain acrophobic? ;)
I have a fear of heights except in a plane, go figure. Not for all the money in the world would I do this.
Gene, how about this... if you climb it, you get to take over the controls of a new 747-8I for an hour :tongue:
Wow!! Awesome video clip, but never in a million years would I do that. Stomach was in knots just watching it.
No fear of heights, justs fear of falling 1700 feet to death if my foot slipped.
Not even if Travolta was serving drinks in the back.Quote:

Mostly, it's the sudden stop at the end that scares me, so thanks, but no thanks on this one!Quote:
