Today's Alex birthday This is what his Mom wrote about Alex "26 years ago today, my beautiful baby boy came into this world. Guiding and watching that sweet, shy, awkward little boy mature into such an amazing, accomplished young man, was both a joy and a privilege. You have left memories that I will treasure every day of my life. My heart bursts with love for you. You brought a light to my life that will shine forever. Thinking of you today and every day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY"
@@assessobserveandexemplify4112 and your death will? god what a fuckwit you are. So my friends who were murdered their deaths didnt bring light either. are you super fuckwit mario!
Yeah it's insanely and inherently dangerous. They are going so close to the ground because that's what's exiting, and I'm sure any downdraught will cause them to crater. I'm not saying that's what happened in this case or having a go at Alex, but it is probably the most dangerous sport in the world and I personally think they are nuts and really should acknowledge that rather than saying people crash because they aren't being safe or aren't experienced enough. It seems that the better they get the more experienced they become the more risk they take. Anyway more power to them, but if it was one of my friends I would be slapping them around the head.
Sackfullofbadgers its all about pulling the ego out of the equation as best we can and not letting it grow to where it takes over from safety precautions.! It is incredible.. but eventually skydiving a suit leads to most wanting to experience the groundrush and thrill of Base.!! we see so much of it on the net it is hard to stop the desire.. and I don't want the desire to stop.. Its the Best thing I've ever chosen to begin..!! except my Children.!! :)
Most people seek attention and want to be famous. These "specimen" do it in a very extreme way. But the videos they provide are spectacular. Who doesn't want to fly close to the ground with great speed, right? Their death however sours these videos up. You watch a great flight and then find out, the pilot is dead all-ready. Great video after a great video, most pilots who made them are dead all-ready and then you find plenty of tribute videos. Insane. Bizare. Awkward. Grotesque. Morbid. But after all this is said, their videos are still something that fascinates me the most.
