Re:

On video Fist looks like a fairly straight shot. What am I not seeing that makes it so dangerous? Ed_E.Hopper New

	i've never been there. but i remember seeing one video that made me think "no thanks." then again, i've swam through a sieve that was a similar "easy move, but dire consequences" deal. i think some people are cool as cucumbers and if it's a class 3 move, it's a class 3 move. some people (like myself) sometimes let the consequences get in their heads and become more likely to screw up the easy move with bad consequences just because we focus too much on how scary those bad consequences are as we are running the rapid. know yourself.
