    I've probably stropped a few hundred razor and some are just hard to keep under control tight pins or not. If the tang doesn't rotate easy, it makes it go out of control, my Swedish framebacks are like that due to really thin tangs

    Yeah Yeah. Or falling from ten feet with your shoulder hyper extended. Off all equipment for 2 weeks

    Not a bit! Luckily I had some pretty flexible shoulders, but still the sheer speed of the movement made it very painful. Also, I don't think there was a day I went home without sand dollar sized bruises on my shins from the Pommel Horse. But, getting off topic again....

    I dated a gymnast in college -- her legs and arms always had more bruises than I did! She couldn't wear a sleeveless dress when we went out to dinner because people might think I beat on her. Don't tell me you miss the pain.

    I totally believe that! I definitely don't miss the pain, I do miss the thrill of learning a new skill of being 20 feet in the air swinging as fast as I can!

    You're a crazy kid, Parker! My response would be something like "You want ME to go up THERE?!?" I'm not afraid of heights -- I grew up on a mountain -- but I am afraid of deceleration trauma!!

    At first it is terrifying. I will be the first to admit it! I would fake being sick to get out of it when I was young. Then something clicked, and I loved the daredevil aspect of it. But I was careful, and never got any SERIOUS injuries.
