Hello!

[Valerz]

Hello friendly people,

My name is Valeri and i'm from Australia. Thought I would introduce myself.
Im 23 student, enjoy riding my road bike, snowboarding and basically any other sport there is. There was a post I read on the forum that asked why people base jump? These people who ask of this will never understand. Yet I get the same question riding my bike. The real spun out thing is, I think i have a pretty good idea on how base jumping feels.

I've never jumped out of a plane and certainly haven't base jumped. Maybe from the tree in the back yard when I was young (I couldn't walk properly for 2 months after that).

My question is,

How old were you when you first decided to jump out of an airplane and how old were you when you first base jumped?

Also,

I once had seen a video clip of a snowboarder who went off the mountain on his snowboard and eventually pulled his shoot. Anyone know where i could find this clip?

Cheers

Valeri
