Paragliding is for women. Real men use wingsuits.

I don’t really watch YouTube because it’s all weird spider man peppa pig pedophile made videos these days. Kinda concerning your kid watches that but I guess you millennial parents are free spirited

Joby Ogwyn, guy from Shreveport who summoned Everest several times then got into wingsuit flying, was quoted as saying he had more dead friends than living ones.

Sucks for his family, but it’s been weird how he stopped being parts of the videos. Figured he was sick or something

Dang. Watch his shite every now and then. Oh well. I'd rather go out doing something fun than dying in a nursing home after they "nursed" all the money from my accounts.


eta: didn't realize he had kids. I dunno man, I'm all for living life but if you got kids that aren't adults then maybe you shouldn't do exceptionally risky stuff.
