about a year ago i bought a cue from a very nice young man here. the cue was made by BHQ [brent hartman]. it was a very light cue about 17.6 oz. brent saw this sale here and pm'ed me advising if i needed additional weight he would send anything i needed free of charge - he just wanted me to be happy with his cue. and i thanked brent for his concern for his customers

i truly loved his cue as it was, but my daughter loved it too so of course i gave it to her. my point is, his concern for a 'secondary' customer loving his cue. i never forgot that...

today i found a video from brent on ja. and not surprising i found i loved it too...

my wish is you see the video that brent posted

That was very very cool Smokey. Great landscape and what a view!

Thank you for posting it.
 
I'd love to know where that is in China. Very beautiful scenery. I like watching the wing suits.
The closest man will become to being a bird.
 
Great Video

Thanks for the link, I thought this video was amazing! I'd never seen people using wing/flying suits before and the scenery was just beautiful. I like to see videos of places I'll never get to see in person.

To live in that moment wow!

That was beautiful. A bad decision here is not an option. A sneeze, cramp or a gust of wind would have you melting into the oh so breathe taking landscape. Thanks for the link
 
That was absolutely beautiful. What a great way to start my day! Thanks for the link. I really did enjoy this. Wow! :cool:
 
SC, go to UTube and type in wing suits. Lots of amazing videos of base jumpers in the Alps etc.

On that matter just Google Jeb Corliss.


Very cool video. The landscape is amazing.
 
I went through a wingsuit phase when I first saw those things. I was looking up prices, etc, how to get certified until.... I started to read a bunch of stories that -- let's just say --- didn't end well.

It looks SO beautiful and SO easy--- but it's not. Jumping with wingsuits are ONLY for super-super-super experienced jumpers. As someone mentioned above, one single wrong decision WILL kill you (when you see them fly through holes in trees, if you don't figure your height vs distance, you'll end up dead in the tree).

When you jump with those, assuming it's a good suit, you get 3:1 ratio on distance versus descent. So, you go 300 yards and drop 100 yards at top speed. Mis-figure something---- splat.

Super beautiful to watch, but really easy to die.
 
hey, don't thank me for this: Thank BHQ [brent hartman]...

as i said in the beginning; this was a BHQ video...

a cue maker that was just terrific to me when i bought a second hand cue from his 1st customer and his care for me as a customer, even second hand

brent posted this video, i just added it here...

i did nothing worth Rep, give it to brent for posting

Happy Easter to everybody & Happy Passover to everybody

all the best,
smokey

Thanks for the link. As a child, I'd have flying dreams. These people live them. No place for old men, though.
