When I was 5 or 6 years old I decided is Mary Poppins could fly down using an umbrella, I would float down hanging under a plastic bag. So I jumped off a 2nd floor porch holding a plastic bag over my head. Fortunately the house was a split level. And I was totally disappointed that I hit the ground hard.

Clif Bar did the right thing. It's sad to see such talented young people being encouraged to risk their lives for cool photo ops. If people are making money off it, its gross.

There is very little original thought and behavior, whatever the hell original is?
Everything else is plagiarism I had been going in a different direction
the loss of the mystique, is no great loss.
but to not touch of the near mystical experience,
that is achieved.
The balance of mental and physical calm,
that is needed to be matched with direct force
equal to the goal, a wiil, the grasp of life.
then, now...
Monetize?-spending/to be famous?
making coin? risking it all . .
"banking it"?
given the way it looks on insta- social media, amazed there are not more reports of carnage.
Then there are the quiet ones, the naturals,
with talent & the grit to preform.
meet,(&,google more of his You tube stuff)
Czd, a'not him', a gender neutral cat (he flashed 99% up to V7-8)
not that there is anything wrong with that,[Click to View YouTube Video]
my footage, different song & angles, same problems, [Click to View YouTube Video]
-he is just finishing up at Yale Law school.
(almost,full ride) scholarship helps more...
I felt at risk of getting punched in the head,
if any of the dirt-bike riding "red-hat wearing"
beer guzzlers who I share this area with came by.
but that he wanted to stare down Golfers
who thought aiming at us, on a different hillside,
was fun, nearly did lead to "fistecuffs"
you do not want to tangle with a f. . . - whats the new trem "INcul"?-
who cranks, flashes V7 gets the V9s in a few tries
& has a chip on his shoulder for having had be born olive skinned.....
(some, might see irony, in fact, I seem to attract strange, who wouda' guessed?) (;*D

Sure. We’re social animals. The math works itself out, even if we’re unable to work out how the math works itself out.
X is always an unknown
Y gets buried in your bones
Other people (like kids today, and my supporters, and burkhini fans) just don’t do it right. That’s why the Darwin Awards, and Sacha Baron Cohen, are so funny, to us right righteous kids. That’s just part of OUR y.
It’s crazy to try to monetize this sh#t. Who says so? I, with my righteous white-privileged pinkish skin, do! Aren’t there any wooly mammoths left for us righteous human monetizers to hunt anymore?

Gunkie, when I was 6 I was lucky enough to be in the cockpit of a Blue Angels plane so I
fast forwarded past the brolly stage. 😜

I don't recall the exact circumstance, but Bachar was asked if he was concerned that people might try to imitate what he was doing.
His answer was something to the effect of "Not really. Most people have a change of heart when they get about 20 feet from the deck." Maybe he said 10.
He made perfect sense to me at the time. Perhaps it's not so true today.
