  1. Being the first to do something is..well I mean being the first to land on the moon is worth the risk, but being the first to jump 5 school buses isn't. One is a huge achievement for humans, doing the impossible, while the other is a little fame or whatever. We all know that if 4 buses can be jumped then so can 5. I don't really see the point. There's firsts worth risking it all for and then there's just..trying to go a little further or a little faster just to prove you can. I just think that risking your life should be worth achieving something bigger than you.

  2. climbing mountains is a strange thing, the weather decides your fate and weather is constantly changing, a climb you could survive easily on can become an impossible climb with a change in weather..I mean if you simply wake up a little late or are slowed by fixing ropes or a number of things then you are slowed and your choices are either don't summit that year OR you climb late/slow and chance the weather changing..SO YOU CLIMB, you plan for all these things and suddenly your great day becomes a living nightmare, you've trained and spent all this money and time to place yourself in your worst nightmare, then again if there was no tragedy then there would be no triumph, but yeah if you want adventure and survival and the chance to have a near death experience or play hero then there's no easier way than to climb mountains, mountains have it all, it's just funny how THE SMALLEST thing can have the LARGEST impact on your life when you enter that mountain world, life on the mountain IS another world, it's a lot like space travel

  3. freakin' balloons, what a dumb idea that was, why are people even allowed to release balloons (most states still allow it)? we all know what it really is, obstacles, pollution and litter! IMAGINE you are lost in the ocean in need of rescue and here comes this cloud of balloons...you would think God hates you, you'd haunt the person in charge of that
