Is that video flipped? Or was it shot in England?

And yeah, the motorcyclist is either dead, or want to be dead when he gets the bill.

 

I never understood speeders who weaving in and out of traffic. A BMW almost almost hit me over the weekend. He probably got within 3 feet of me going 20+ miles over the speed limit. Idiot was racing an Audi.

Dang, an Audi that wasnt in the shop?  That is wild.

Going down would be scarier than going up - IMO. 3 “points of contact” at all times and Hell No on carrying anything!

I think a bunch of really tiny soldiers glued to his head, starting from his eyebrow and ending on the back of his head with a Suribachi flag plant recreation would be cool.

Lived on a farm when I was a kid. Once had a calf we had to bottle-feed because mama rejected it and he wasn't doing good. Dad sent me out one early morning to give it a bottle and I found it like this, covered in maggots. The smell is the worst part. I went back and told my dad. Not sure how he got it out of the barn stall.

Eh, whatevs. Not really sure why, as things like that didn’t used to bother me. Heights, tight spaces, so what?

About the time I was getting the short-timers on my ship, I started wanting to go up the mast less and less. Let the juniors handle it. For some reason it just started bothering me more and more, and I’d been up the stick while underway in the middle of the atlantic, without a care in the world. Pitching and yawing, big whoop.

But yeah, heights started bothering me, and not much after that tight spaces did too.

I’m not claustrophobic, per say, but certain conditions whether heights or super tight, very risky spaces have turned into a big nope for me.

Heights are fine but that caving shit makes my BH pucker

Same.  I have a reoccurring nightmare about once every 6 months where I fall into a drain pipe with my arms pinned to my side and it slowly fills with water.  The water has never hit my chin, I wake TF up immediately.

When I was young we used to go to that cave on the Barton Creek greenbelt before they closed it.  Within the first 10 feet or so there was a 4 or 5 foot squeeze like that and I did it multiple times with no issues. Then one day on the way out as I was inching myself along I suddenly thought of all that rock over me and now I can't even watch these videos.  That was my last time in a non-tourist cave.

You're working out unresolved issues relating to anal with your wife. 

No worries, though, Surly can almost certainly help you with that.

Airmen's Cave?  I was friends with one of the three that got stuck back there in '07.  Buddy was the guy who called it in around 5am.  Crazy enough of a story to ensure I'll never set foot in there.

Yeah I think that's what it was called.  It was a short hike from the loop 360 entrance.  I remember that story too.  That was about 15 years after my last time in there.  I remember it was mostly low but large chambers back to around 150 yards in and then there was a truly terrifying squeeze that I seem to remember was around 10 or 12 feet of just inching along and then it opened up into a fairly big chamber but I only attempted that once.  We usually stopped in that last room before that which you could actually stand up in.  Those guys that got stuck were way back in there. I never trusted a flashlight that much.

Man, made me go down that rabbit hole.  My friend was the third "unidentified" student that went in.  To this day they still haven't released her name.  I guess Tony Plohetski did an interview with the other two.

One thing I remember is that up to that big chamber they are talking about with all the various passages coming off, there were multiple strings of twine that went off in various directions from people using that to find their way back. That's as far as I ever went and only the one time because the squeeze to get there was not pleasant.  I was 140 lbs back then and it was tight as fuck for me.  You had to go through with your arms in front of you and inch worm your way for at least 10 feet and it seemed like a mile.  Your clothes would hang on stuff and sometimes you'd feel like you were stuck and would have to shift your position to angle your shoulders right.  I'm in a cold sweat just remembering it 40 years later.  We had those cheap ass flashlights too that would just randomly dim out and you had to shake them.  In retrospect, like many of the things we did when young, it was pretty damned stupid based on our level of preparedness.  No foot, no water, one extra set of batteries, no helmets.  Dumb, dumb, dumb.
