I climbed up a 7 story high dive that was made from an old antenna. That was high enough for me. Yeah I jumped off into a 20 ft deep pool too.

You would be suprised how calm the atmosphere can be. Ive seen winds that are around 5 knots at 25k feet. Ive even had pilots ask me to double check. haha

If BamBam were to punch you in the face you would have to resist the urge to thank him

hats off BamBam. I can't imagine how difficult the climb down can be. At least going up you can see where you're going.

but still, I'd hate to be like "Damnit I forgot my wrench"


My stomach was turning through the entire video. Very suspenseful!
