  12. Leonardo Girardello says

    I was just reading through the comments and they are full of "inspiring" "amazed" "awesome" and then i read "sick";
    What I think, hoping to not hurt anyone opinion, is that whoever says that this is sick:
    1) Has never thought about what would it be having the most thrilling and beautiful and exciting and lovely day of their life all at the same moment. And
    2) Has never felt his hair standing from the top of the head to the bottom of your legs when the thrill of an adventure run through your spine.
