.....is pretty fun.

TOday was/is Da Peach's east side bachelor party. Did the indoor skydiving and paintball. Being a lame-o, I had to bail early.

But it's pretty fun.

Hopefully we'll have some decent video. (I'll have to get a copy of the DVD from one of the guys, perhaps tomorrow.

This damn wedding better not interfere with my personalized whistler trip round 2.

...and paintball people can be seriously messed up. I know that's not news. But I hadn't been painballing in years and years. So I hadn't seen it in a while. There are some guys that could get themselves in trouble for impersonating a cop. Some guys had badges and SWAT vests.

There was no shortage of bandanas with pictures of skulls on them either.

One time I got really high on meth and robbed a bank with a paintball gun. Then other meth cops came in and we had an epic paintball battle. So I can see why those guys were wearing those swat vests. They were probably on meth.

Jerks...

And one thing ill never understand is how prostitutes can be so good a skydiving. Live and learn!

I still want the raw DVD. If that kid is in it, I want to show it to the girls. I doubt they'd be keen, but you never know. Website says the min age is 4.....

MMike is in helicopter operations type stuff and this is the best prank we get? I was hoping for a pic of his WRX on a water tower.

He left the WRX in Vancouver

No MMike friendly fire to the crotch accidents?

sounds like a market tapout needs to get into.....

Funny....Da Peach actually made a comment that there wasn't a single Tap Out shirt to be seen....

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

Wouldn't it be "Tap-ooot" in Canada?

 

[MMike]

oh you're a riot.......

no it would be "pass-oooot"

Everytime I look at this thread, I think "Indoor Skydiving" really means (I just ate shrooms and I fell off the couch at my brothers bachelor party)

 

[rockofullr]

mmm.... shroomz

Good to know I'm inside your head. You had it all planned out in the event he did though.

I lost my deposit on the Bell 205.......

That indoor skydiving was pretty awesome.

Had a dream about it last night. But I was much better at it in the dream.

So you sucked at freefalling?



I didn't think it was possible to screw that up.......not even by you or your derelict brother.

Indoor wind tunneling is not freefalling. It is expensive hovering.

I detect a sense of "that's just a stupid waste of money" tone in that comment. That must be the hill climber in you talking.

It is a really cool sensation. And watching our trainer guy do a little demo of what is possible was insane. I recommend it to anyone. Awesome.

It's funny, the two guys who were the best at it were the really experienced SCUBA diver, and the 5.13 climber (trad lead). I guess there's a common requirement for body control.

I was alright, but not as controlled as MMike. I wanted to do everything a little to quickly, I think.

Its all my helicopter hovering experience

I'm not sure hovering around helicopters counts.

Even they wouldn't speak to him.

Not at all. I bet it was very cool. I just know a lot of skydivers and they basically work to pay for tunnel time. Sports that charge by the hour just seem ridiculous to me. Great business plan.

Will they let you do it wearing a batman cape ?

Yeah, I bet it is pretty ridiculous, but fortunately for me, I didn't pay for it. A perk of being the bachelor. I later paid for it with a hail of paintballs. Well worth it.

As for expense, yeah, all skydiving is not cheap. But even worse, the paintball "aficionados" we saw at the "arena" or whatever they call it must spend even more money. The weirdos with the full auto guns and the costumes (a.k.a "uniforms") must spend a couple hundred bucks every outing.

To each their own. Some are just way more fun to mock than others.

Surely they must....

No CAPES!!!!
