We definitely need to see the video. When a commercial crabber knocks a nurse shark off your decomposing body somewhere in the Delaware Bay, we'll all want to link back to this post:crap:

Hey, we were all young and stupid once ourselves. Those of us that survived, that is.

Definitely. But is this really necessary?? I think everyone already agrees that you are a benchmark of 'mountain manliness.' Right guys?

 

[Flytrap]

Yes mountain manlessness

An annual test of mountain manhood? We definitely need to see this video.

Oh wait, I found it.

 

[Philthy Phil]

Manhood failed...better luck next year

Now, ya see, I wouldn't have expected that from someone so progressive...

 

[Catskill Mountain Man]

Got it.

So one a year I jump into the Mongaup with no flotation device.

I call it my annual test of manhood.

I've been going once a year since I was 18.

This video is from 2 years ago when my old friends were in the states for the summer from Ireland.

I've brought "tough" cliff jumping friends with tattoos and bands there (they use floats/tubes) and they said "thats the scariest thing we've ever done."

Stupid? Maybe?

I know you guys are going to throw stones about how idiotic it is but nothing has gone wrong yet. The amount of guts it takes to go for the first time in the year takes the whole 45 min drive to accumulate. The whole time I'm thinking "I might not be making the drive back"

I highly recommend all able bodied people on this site to find their own test of manhood.

In this video im doing test run holding a small pink float.

The next run I went down with out an aid.

There's part where you're about to drown but you get thrust upward into a standing wave and are able to catch a quick breath.

It takes all of your concentration and lungs filled with air so you can float on your back over the rocks below.

It's about a 3 min long video but you can fast forward to about 40 seconds in.

It is fun.

Just shoot me now............please.

 

[Future Fanatic]

I'm speechless...

The phrases "test of manhood" and "small pink float" should not be located in the same post...

 

[Catskill Mountain Man]

It was actually a kiddy boogie board.

Lol.

Hey the other guys jump in with huge tubes and others kyack right past me.

They always look down shake their heads and say " You're a nut, kid"

 

[CTobias]

That's 2 minutes and 52 seconds of my life I will never get back. Thanks.

The dude recording the video sounds like he would hold a piece of meat in his mouth until the swelling went down, but he's totally not gay. He just likes the taste of it.

That is not what I would consider a test of "manhood", maybe a litmus test for stupidity, but certainly not manhood. The creek isn't even running that hard.

 

[Flytrap]

Would have been better if lamprey latched onto your nuts

 

[lightenup]

Well, that confirms it for me.......you are definitely "touched".
I prefer your talk about dead trees growing though.......I believe Rusty said it best...you know about Darwin and all.

 

[Thursthouse]

If that's your definition of manhood, I'm not wrong in referring to you as Catskill Mountainboy.

Please keep your kiddie pool adventures off the fly fishing forum

 

[Catskill Mountain Man]

At least I have the youth to still do stupid shit like it!

HAHA f you old douches!

28 is ancient I guess...

I'm not saying it doesn't look fun...there's just nothing crazy or manly about it..Now if you did that in January I'd give you some serious props

I know people twice your age who do stupid things. Age has nothing to do with being stupid.

Try base jumping without a parachute then maybe we will all approve of your "manhood" test.

I do as often as I can (but it all depends on her mood).

Rusty, now which is it, as often as you are able, or the mood of your lady?

In one word, yes:crap:

 

[WBDluver]

That is a test of manhood??? What is do is a real test of manhood. I pick the coldest day in January and stand naked on my roof 30 feet above the ground. I have a 29 foot rope and tie one end to a cinder block and the other end to my testicles and throw the block off. You are all welcome to join me.

 

[mob201]

Yes, by all means, let's make this thread about politics too.

What is do is a real test of manhood... I have a 29 foot rope and tie one end to a cinder block and the other end to my testicles and throw the block off.

He said annual test of manhood WBDluver. What you're describing sounds like more of a one-time deal.

 

[Everybody's Friend]

I do as often as I can (but it all depends on her mood).

If its based on her mood, Spinner, perhaps you could call it your "annual" test of manhood...

I think that CMM is a human piñata, minus the candy.
