And this is one of my favourites, I call it the "pee in your pants-press", or "kuset housuun-pystäri", in Finnish.  ' And here you can see why I call it that. It's bad for your clothes and your dignity, but it's really good for your shoulders! Worth it!  Looks more like a nut cracker to me. |

The aircraft and suit have skydive written on them so I vote skydiving. I'd need a ciggie after that and I don't smoke. Never saw the point of jumping out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft.

This is how it looks like when you throw retards off the plane. More to come later, including the fate of the mysterious shoe!  |

Yes!!! That's awesome! And those pics are incredible
When I went, the guy I was tandem with was wearing a shirt that said "I died doing what I love" so that scared the shit out of me. Then I landed directly on my ass like an idiot and took him down with me.
Now hurry up about the shoe, please. The suspense is killing me

Speaking from experience, I'm betting he lost the shoe or nearly lost it. My shoe was hanging by my toes when I jumped.

TassieDEVil You can't make an omelet without cracking some nuts, they say. Dani As for bars and clubbing, it's pretty simple: I find the company of drunkards just really annoying. It always comes with a lot of stupid questions that are always the same. I've done my fair share of some very hard partying, too, so maybe I've just grown awfully boring. I have a little confession to make, though: I'd love to go dancing, but I'm actually rather self-conscious of how it would look like. It feels a bit uncomfortable and oh so awkward just not knowing how to move my body and make it look good. And I know how silly and stupid it is not just to let go, because I really would like to. Maybe practicing it with the right kind of dev some day might help me to truly enjoy it like it should. It's strange in a way, as I'm otherwise very comfortable with my disabled body and how I maneuver and do whatever it is that I do. Dating a dev really helped with that, too, learning to simply give zero fucks of what others might think if I transfer on the floor on some big event, get on the grass to enjoy a picnic, or just do the stuff that I like to do at the gym. Lots of funny transfers going on there. Dancing, however.. It reminds me of the wheelchair in a different way to anything else that I do. I just feel like a lost little boy not knowing what to do.

Since I needed a Youtube channel for my skydiving stuff, I suppose it could be used for purely educational purposes as well. Here's how I get on the bench and one of the many ways to how to get off it, too. Maybe it's useful for someone.  |

If you mean a regular nightclub, it's no big deal except you will end up with a bunch of random women practically giving you lapdances. If you mean actual ballroom type dancing (like Hustle, Swing, etc.) then yeah that's going to take some training classes and IMO it still looks kind of dorky no matter what. |

My legs can straighten quite a bit more, but I've been seriously neglecting the use of my standing frame ever since I moved to this new apartment. The thighs are goddamn tight right now, but thankfully I'm moving out soon.
Standing helps quite a bit in my case, and last winter I came up with something new for my legs in physiotherapy. It worked wonders and allowed me to do some new, un-para-like things in the context of 15 years post injury, but as it is right now, I'm needing so much massage that we really don't have the time for the stretching. Ouch.
