A middle-aged man gets filmed while getting pepper sprayed and then downing a beer, then puts the video on the internet - how rad.

The rest of the clip shows skill and big balls. But the mace, well just.... WHY dude? I dont get it, but whatever floats your boat I guess.

ClifHuckstable 0 #36 August 29, 2005 Well Hello Crybabies! Jimmy, sorry I missed that big ol shin dig y'all had about the 16 year old. You really got everyone's panties in a bunch didn't ya! Nice work! A+ By the way people, it wasn't a Mr. Bill in that teaser. A Mr. Bill is when both people are wearing parachutes. This type of jumping is called "Freebasing" as in free solo climbing. Get it right! And no, he wasn't wearing any hidden back up. What an IDIOT! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rubberballs 0 #38 September 1, 2005 This is my first time writing on the Dork Zone. I read through some of the post from time to time to see what everyone is currently whining about. Seriously I think many of you need to figure it out. I have never seen so many whining, complaining, finger pointing, judgemental people. Get over yourselves. Jimmy, your teaser is AWSOME! Can't wait to watch your flick! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously I think many of you need to figure it out. I have never seen so many whining, complaining, finger pointing, judgemental people. Get over yourselves. Hi Rubberballs, instead of anonymously starting to attack everyone here on the board on your first post, tell us who you are (if you really have the balls to do that). People here want to help each other, share knowledge, discuss things to progress the sport of Basejumping. If that is whining and etc to you shouldn't hang around here. If you are here to start fighting, then please go somewhere else. You are welcome to participate here in discussions, but please, be a bit friendlier towards everyone here. I'll stop whining now, I'm not the moderator here. I hope this doesn't count as a personal attack. In every case, it is not intended that way. Kind regards Thijs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Rubberballs 0 #40 September 1, 2005 Look, I am not trying to attack anyone. I am a friendly Rubberball. When you say this forum is for help, sharing, and progession I think that is great. It is good for people to learn, ask questions and figure out what BASE jumping is about. Can be a good tool for that. I too often see people making ridiculous comments about each other, This person did this,he/she said that. So many opinons on the way others do things. Hey, everyone looks at things differently. You would think those that BASE jump would understand that looking at things differently part. I wrote intially because I saw the bashing of Jimmy's trailer. I think Jimmy has done great things to BASE jumping. So it may not be your style but it's his. He has given us all some of the best air to air BASE jumping footage around. As far as the soul part goes, I think Jimmy has plenty of soul, baseing his life around jumping out of or off of things. Jimmy and his buds have helped progess the sport 3 fold. You cannot speak badly of that unless you are content with a stagnent sport I wont bother you or hang around here anymore because I might become a whinner and complainer. After seeing so much of it I figured I would say something and stick up for Jimmy.
