CanuckInUSA 0 #3 August 13, 2005 I guess I wasn't supposed to vote (so I voted "Damn I am fucking old") since you left out my age bracket (40-45). I'm 41 soon to be 42 but I live the lifestyle of someone in their 20s. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BASE841 3 #4 August 13, 2005 40? Only 40? Why you young whippersnapper, you get yourself off an object now, while you still heal fast. Funny thing about getting old. "Old" seems to be mostly a state of mind, defined more by actions than chronology. Except for motorcycle insurance. I want those f*ckers to think I'm as old as the hills ($110/ year for my ZX-10, hee hee!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 26 #5 August 13, 2005 This past week, I saw two 55 year old guys do what may be one of the most hard core BASE jumps I have ever witnessed.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't wait to have enough experience to take a base course and join u all ..... =============================Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting - "fcuk me what a ride!"

Thijs 0 #13 August 14, 2005 18 years old, but I feel like 40 and feel like I haven't lived at all during that first 17.5 years. Will start skydiving next week (why did my instructor had to be ill this weekend) and hope to be doing some base when I'm 23. QuoteHi, my mind tells my to get back BASE jumping but I am 40 now.
