Amazing pictures! I put the one with the hot air ballon on my screen at work and a coworker said, "that's an obvious photoshop job." NO WAY I said! Mark, you're a fearless soul, if I was up there I'd have a look of terror on my face.

hmmm,sky diving?
i used to be afraid of heights, and a lot of things, but now after my prodisc surgey, i have tried more things than ever before, although not sure i would trust my heart to jump out of an airplane, well, maybe so, hmmmmmm?
the pictures do look awe-inspiring!! maybe i'll just live this through you! hahaha i have been considering a balloon ride, know anyone good in a balloon? maybe i'll buy a bunch of helium balloons and tie them to my favorite lawn chair, and off i go gary

These pictures are mind blowing and it seems like, as if, I should also be trying out my hand on this crazy thing.

The post above is 100% absolute pure spam. The spammer has been banned.
Fortunately for the poster... I like this stuff and will leave it.

I just remembered
I saw the photos in skydiving links~ looks so liberating. Read what Mark posted months ago re opening shock. Tho before getting there if I can get the gear on comfortably I then read I have to jump and I'm pretty sure that I might not even make it up in the plane thinking I'm going to jump as I'm afraid of heights!!!!
So perhaps if I'm high on Versed or something (or in my dreams)~

I think skydiving is plenty safe. It's about the same as SCUBA and way safer than rock climbing (which I also loved.) I quit riding donorcycles early in my riding career because it is too dangerous. Formation flying fits in there somewhere and I'm happy with the risks and have loved to do it.
