Title: There is no F%&KING way I would do this...... Post by: Hawkes on July 06, 2011, 02:00:02 PM I can't imagine being payed enough to do this.... this actually made me a bit dizzy watching this and if you are afraid of heights, I highly suggest you skip this.

Post by: Jim Tressel on July 06, 2011, 07:30:34 PM awww fuck that noise. that made me sick just watching. no quick way down? why not wear a parachute? You're absolutely right Hawkes, there literally isn't enough money in the world to get me up there.
Title: Re: There is no F%&KING way I would do this...... Post by: Nightstalker on July 06, 2011, 07:54:01 PM That's actually what my brother does for a living. He formally parachuted and base jumped for entertainment, so working on cell towers and other antenna I guess came naturally. There's actually a couple videos he recorded doing that nonsense some time ago, including base jumping off some skyscrapers at night. There might be some youtubes of that posted somewhere, so I might have to poke around for them.
If it's any consolation, the pay seems to be pretty good. He's making over 150k running his own buisiness out of his truck, though i'd be curious to the expenses having to drive all around and pay for gas etc. Title: Re: There is no F%&KING way I would do this...... Post by: Varg on July 07, 2011, 12:44:22 AM Fuck everything about that. Holy crap.

Title: Re: There is no F%&KING way I would do this...... Post by: Jim Tressel on July 07, 2011, 12:47:27 AM you could pay me 150 million a year and I wouldn't do that. No way, no how.

Title: Re: There is no F%&KING way I would do this...... Post by: Nightstalker on July 07, 2011, 01:52:55 AM Well some people do it like it's nothing.
He tried to call me to go out with him on a job. Suffice to say I wasn't having any of that shit heh. My nuts roll up into my stomach just thinking about doing that shit. I think I could get 20 feet up before I started having serious doubts, heh Title: Re: There is no F%&KING way I would do this...... Post by: Stugots on July 07, 2011, 03:01:31 AM I do that shit on the weekends for fun.
Title: Re: There is no F%&KING way I would do this...... Post by: Nightstalker on July 07, 2011, 03:53:21 AM Thing is though, I bet every time you go out, someone beats you to the top.
Not naming any names here. Title: Re: There is no F%&KING way I would do this...... Post by: Redbear8 on July 07, 2011, 02:29:30 PM Now that I own my own business I can guarantee about 40% of that 150k goes to taxes. Expenses can help recoup some of it but it's a bitch. I am horrified of heights, horrified, but I would do this if I was given enough money. Be scared for a year or two and retire, hellz yeah.

Title: Re: There is no F%&KING way I would do this...... Post by: Arctic on July 08, 2011, 04:49:53 AM If i could keep 60% of 150 mil I think i could write that check and still smile
Title: Re: There is no F%&KING way I would do this...... Post by: Jim Tressel on July 08, 2011, 01:23:29 PM Nope, nope, and nope. I don't even like going up to the top of skyscrapers.
Title: Re: There is no F%&KING way I would do this...... Post by: thrun on July 08, 2011, 06:30:55 PM No amount of money could do it, I would freeze up as soon as the elevator door opened. If it was an open elevator where I could see what was going on that I road up I would be in a fetal position crying before I even got near the top.
