    Default Inspiration for those living on the edge -

    I was cruising BBC today and found a few videos I'd like to share.

    the first is very short, a bungee dive gone wrong - the rope snapped! And she survived! This blew my mind.

    The second I thought was really beautiful and inspiring. Its a short vid featuring Phillippe Petiit. He is probably in his mid-fifties now, but 30 years ago gained fame for insane tight rope walking - maybe most famously between the WTC 2 towers. Check it out:

    That rope walker is insane! I would die on my first step between the twin towers. That is inspirational, but I'm still not gonna do it!
