Don,  It's not only you.  I've DL'd photo's of climbers scaling Baffin Island cliffs, and a Chinese mountain sheer dropoff about 6,000 feet.  I get queezy but I try to somehow desensitize myself. As horrifying as these views are (given our phobia's) which are quite normal  (fear of falling).... These are also GORGEOUS views, and amazing conquests to be able to scale scale Half dome, and some of the Yosmite granite peaks.. IMHO... Just a type of being with nature that although I'm horrified.  I can appreciate naturally beauty, and the fact that we are VERY small around some of these vast and seemingly ominous nature-created structures !

I too get a tingling in my arms, legs, and feet...feel quite weak, yet someday before I die, I really want to get over these fears.... Doubt I will, but I love landscapes, and nice scenic views....  I'd love to wakeup one morning fear-free... and view these things as excitement, and not terror.

Don,  Didn't you play a fest at Snake RIver canyon ?  Isn't that one of the steepest canyons in the country ?  Idaho Hell's Canyon ?  and Black Canyon in Colorado.

No, I've never played any place like that.

As long as there are secured guard rails and no chance of slipping past them, I can look down from extreme heights.  But if there is no railing or obvious protection, I have a very difficult time looking down even if I'm only 20 feet high or something.

Well,  you're braver than I am.  I get vertigo with or without guard rails.  You won't find me in a glass elevator climbing 1800 feet to an observation deck.

Stevie, Thats was a good write up about Jackie Chan. I have seen most of his movies, and read most of what hsa been written about him.
What supprised me is that you too have seen some of his work.

Bruce Lee started it, Jackie Chan and the rest of the other chinese actor developed and refined it. Remember there are also equaly farmous chinese actor the like of Chow Wen Fatt, and Jet Lee and a few others.

Hindi/Bollywood movies, I will not see even if you pay me to see it. NO No No. I just can't stand the singing. The girls are sexy tho.

Jian,  Jackie Chan is hilarious.  Watching his movies is exhilarating. Just ALOT of positive energy, he radiates a positive image. His movies have morals, and he's talented.  They're just good movies without all the drama you see all around today elsewhere. I need something light, comical, and filled with a talented cast, otherwise I'd rather be gabbing on the internet.  The other crap on TV today I won't watch.. I can't stand sad stuff... Life's full of that, I don't like it in my face too much. I need to escape from it when I watch movies, So this type movie is perfect !.. Incidently, last week I bought a Movie I've not yet seen. "Bruce Lee" The Man..  The Myth".  I have no idea if it's a documentary or Movie,  but it was $3 so I grabbed it . A Force of One with Chuck Norris was also on that rack so I bought that DVD as well, I  hope I can tolerate it... Isn't he basically Kick boxing ?  Anyway... Time to do some work..hehe All that aside, when I was more into the Martial Arts, Eastern philosophy in general was something I felt was easier to apply and alot more helpful than most of the Western stuff we're taught.

I saw a documentary on Jackie Chan that was amazing. You can't
beleive the things they made him do in that opera school. It was
more than child abuse. Someone should make a movie about his life.

He is getting older now, but we still see him doing amazing stunts like
jumping through ladders feet first and scaling walls with his feet. To me
he is super human.
