...I came across this clip below but had no particular thread to put it in so I created this one... this thread is for the strange things you find in regards to unique jobs... weird hobbies... perhaps some odd sports... strange videos that you may stumble across... anything at all different and out of the ordinary that fits in nowhere else within this marvelous website in general...

...to start it off... check out this job... I get vertigo just watching it on my computer...

...I've posted this twice because the Ad in the top right hand corner cuts off half of the video that I can see... if it doesn't for everyone else then I'm looking like a complete doofus at the moment lol!... anyhoo... to repeat what I originally posted...

and the way to get down from the tranmission tower. base jump, cause I could go up but couldnt come down.
 
...you know what Kenn... I'd probably have a go at doing the same (I did a tandem parachute jump a couple of years ago)... I reckon that I could climb up there while making sure not to look down but as soon as I'd have to start getting down I would probably freeze and would have to stay there for the rest of my life lol!... as I said... those people are amazing... cheers.

I love cymatics. Its such oddball shizzle. I have a fondness for obscure techno music and it boggles the mind to see music dance. One day the mysteries of the universe will be solved. Universe sorta means one song.
 
...well I must say... the heading of this thread mentions the words 'Unique Sports'... well here is a sort of 'sport'... it's acquiring a boat load of fish without the use of fishing rods!... bloody funny way to go fishing... cheers.
