JohnnyMarko 1 #1 June 9, 2014 I'm sure most of you know what The Chive is, well The Berry is a version for girls (mostly girly stuff and pics of hot guys instead of girls, hence why I have the app)... Well, scrolling through today something caught my eye... That's intense Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSE 5 #5 June 9, 2014 wow. just "wow." Should I be honored or embarrassed? Flattered or frightened? Frankenlens sure has made the rounds... To the neck comment, it wasn't at all hard on the neck. My RED is harder, and jumping big lights harder still. This rig didn't weigh much more than a normal DSLR/video rig. The issue was torque, not weight.

JohnMitchell 16 #7 June 9, 2014 Go with "honored." I'll probably never make it to "meme" status, esp. on a site aimed at hot women. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSE 5 #9 June 9, 2014 I expected the ARTICLE to go viral. Not the pic of just the helmet. It's been pretty funny, the number of places that have contacted me wondering if it's real. Even had an offer to do a low-level talk show over skype (not interested). Yeah, it's weird, wild, and stupid, but it served a very valid purpose. I guess I was too focused on the purpose vs the wild. otherwise, I'd have taken some wacky pix. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craddock 0 #11 June 10, 2014 That picture really illustrates to me how we all have a vastly different levels of acceptable risk in vastly different disciplines. Some condemn others for not wearing a helmet while skydiving(wtf??), or belittle for downsizing too fast. No effing way in hell would jumping with that contraption on my head have EVER entered my mind! How long ago was this if I were to search for a thread on it?

Reading a Johnny Marko post instantly begins the Spongebob theme song in my head (seriously, I don't post often, but I read a lot, and this happens every freaking time). Then I see Once in a a life time... and: "And you may ask yourself, who lives in a pineapple under the sea..." It just gets worse from there. Interesting helmet/ cameras. FML.

BillyVance 34 #14 June 10, 2014 I remember an interview Joe Jennings gave for a major network show, I think it was 20/20, not sure. The interviewer, this tall gangly guy with white hair commented on Joe's neck, "looks like an oak tree!" Joe: "it's growing!"
