I've bungie jumped, while I knew the guys that owned the company, that scared the shit out of me. I have also jumped a few tandem jumps, there is nothing I can compare that rush to.

If I had the time, I would seriously learn to skydive only to learn how to BASE jump and practice my tradecraft in these security conscious post 9/11 days.

Rochard is going to slug me first time I meet him for planting this idea on the board, but while the 727 D.B. Cooper jumps are really cool, I think nothing compares to Tandem HALO jumping. Something about a five mile freefall should give any adrenline junkie a real non-viagra induced boner!
