Tornado Alley (PROG)

[newmedman]

Helicopters are kind of cool depending on what you're riding in. I've been in solid ones that are military style and those are kind of neat but I've also been in tourist trap flights where the only thing between me, the machine and the ground was some glorified canvas. They are extremely loud and the only way to communicate is through a headset..

I don't mind flying but a couple of those trips were, in my view, unnecessary. I spent more time being nervous than taking in the sights.

I've never never been on a big mountain lift , just the little crappy hills we have around here but I honestly thought I could bail at anytime and be fine. The snow was only about ten feet down at most and wouldn't have been any worse than me attempting some stupid stunts on the way down.
