AdamSmith Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 They really and truly must have a death wish..... To each their own, no? When I was little we would go to Myrtle Beach, SC many summers for vacation. Back then the Flying Wallendas were a regular attraction there during part of each summer. They did their high wire acts with no nets or safety lines. Every few years there would be one fewer Wallenda, but the rest faithfully kept at it, the young ones joining the act as they grew up. We didn't think they had a death wish, just a dedication to doing what they loved. Quote

AdamSmith Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 I feel my scrotum tightening just watching the videos! Same here! That is part of the fun for me -- seeing how much I can stand to watch before I have to click away. Quote

As you may recall, I get dizzy just watching Wiley go over a clift in Road Runner cartoons so I just avoid this type of stuff completely. RA1 and AdamSmith 2 Quote
