    Well it took Jeb 9 flights (well technically 12 as he had to abort to the "escape route" 3 times) to film grinding the crack... was inspired to try after someone else had flown it. It's amazing just how much difference really knowing that it CAN be done makes

    Just like a motorbike, one wrong decision and it's hospital time if you're lucky. (embedding disabled on this one)

    I always wanted to jump off a cliff, without having to die and while low basejumping looked silly/scary jumping off a huge mountain and getting 30~60 sec freefall with a wingsuit looks awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkgJndUtUsY but you start at the start as learning to solo skydive looks no more expensive than getting my advanced open water dive licence

    Ha ha well that was interesting. For a bit of a case study I tossed Ep1 on while I had my partner watching TV, telling her it's extremely popular and to have a look. So about 1/2 way through the 1st ep she asked "do they explode or something?" at the end it was "Are you going to make me watch the 2nd episode " I asked which demographic she thought it would be popular with - Little girls, or women her age or a touch younger that remember them from the 80's was the guess. So we got through the 2nd episode and, yep she doesn't like it. So I told her it was very popular with MEN and showed her about the Bronie's and the internet stuff, and the music. I think it's only because of all the "weird freaky hippy stuff" that I'm into that she wasn't flabbergasted !! Very interesting. While I did have this "my little pony thread" {which I had no intention of reading until I couldn't stand the curiosity as it kept bumping to the top} and then an exposure to the net meme's so it's not real fair against a "just watch this" cold exposure. But we have very similar backgrounds and education etc Could it really be a boy girl thing? Did my gender spend it's childhood stopping themselves from "liking" cute "girly" things for no other reason than a boy couldn't be a "man" and like something "girly" I don't have siblings but watching this with D felt like being a sister watching it with an older brother, "when do they blow up?" "Didn't like it" "You like this?" It was more fun for me the 2nd time, and I noticed that, even though she didn't like it, she stopped knitting during the pivotal moments And as a Dr Who fan I though she might like the look of Dr Whoof, who is rather cute, but "No, that's wrong, so very very wrong" Friendship is Magic.
