> [@Onyx Z32](#): > > How many total feet of rope do you own right now? 🙂 To make it til the end of his street, its been discussed lol. Next time I’d like more of a head-start running wise, “free-fall” felt like forever during this though. I kept thinking; okay the rope can catch me at anytime now lol. ---
