What I loved best about it is that she ISN'T fearless - she really has to psych herself up for it, but loves it once she takes the plunge. Awesome!Originally Posted by Pax

Me too. She reminded me of me, actually. I could hear myself in her words and I just knew that once she did it, she'd love it and want to do it again! Originally Posted by OakLeaf

I saw this a few days ago and LOVED it. Such courage. You couldn't PAY me to do what she did! I'd break every bone in my uncoordinated body!
I went tandem hang gliding a few years ago in New Zealand. Scared the pants off me to even consider it. (I'm still amazed Jeff talked me into it.) When you're standing on the side of a mountain, preparing to run off of it with some nylon suspended overhead.... well, let's just say I was a wreck.
The instructor is basically strapped to your back, and the glider is strapped to both of you. I distinctly remember the instructor saying, "no matter what, once we start running off the mountain, YOU CAN NOT STOP. You'll get us BOTH killed." Well then. Needless to say, I lived to tell the tale.
But the emotions were just like the girl in the video. Psyching myself up to take those steps. WOW.
