    I did this to reject my fear of height. It was one of the most memorable moments in my life.

    After watching it a second and third time. I don't think you had a fear of heights, breh.

    Because I have a fear of heights and I would be crying as I land or at the very least shaking violently. You even gave a shoutout to Obama.

    I do, but good call. I cut off a good one minute before the jump because it was boring. I kept asking the guy to give me more time.

    The trick for me was not to look down. There was no way I would have jumped had I looked down. It was scary as hell.

    I'm deathly scared of heights because I always have an intense urge to jump when I'm up high. I used to rock climb and cliff dive/jump and my fear is still intense as ever.

    Congrats man, I've got a serious with major heights. I couldn't even stand outside on the observation deck of the Stratosphere without getting vertigo. I wish I could do that, sounds amazing!
