Its not really that weird, its relative speed. With skydiving, you don't have much of a reference, its just air around you. Thats the big difference between base jumping and skydiving.

We never used to tie off in the old days unless I was hanging on a bosun chair or swing stage. Yeah, I was a little scared and some times nervous (not good), it's human nature but I got use to it. Highest beam I've walked on was the top of the Petro Canada building.

Did you know the poor dude who bellyflopped onto 4th ave?
