Hey Guys smile.gif

I managed to sprain my wrist at Karate last night, which as you all know, is not going to be beneficial to playing the guitar ! mad.gif

So, I wondered how many of you have hobbies, jobs or some other activity which sometimes puts you at risk of injury.. but you still do it because you either love it or you have to ? smile.gif

I enjoyed watching this. Very nice. And very cool.
This is more some kinda new art that has come up.

If you have a good flexible body and mind this show how a great 'machine' the human body is

lost of jumps over and roll over reminds me of my Ninjutsu training

I'm not brilliant with heights.. but I'd rather be looking down than looking up. I get this weird sensation when I'm stood next to a really tall building. I cannot look up because it feels me with fear and makes me feel unbalanced like the sky is falling on me and the earth is falling away behind me. Does anyone else get this ? ohmy.gif



No I haven't

But my skydive instructor has height sickness. But the thing is when your are standing in the doorway of a plane at that height she said she didn't feel the high sickness any more. Nice to know isn't? So just try it.
She felt it only on more "normal" heights like standing on a 10 stairs building, that is "close" to the ground so to speak.

I know scuba divers who where diving over a riff and that suddenly goes steep down for more than 100 meter and they suffered height sickness at that time looking down
