I woke up this morning and decided that I am going to learn to fly helicopters. I am not going to hire an instructor, or talk to anyone who has flown a helicopter, or even read anything about helicopters on the internet. I am just gonna head on down to the airport, steal a helicopter and give it a go. What do you guys think?

To me, it doesn't matter who you are, or what side of this debate you are on. The fact is that everyone has had a mentor, coach, advisor or guide of some kind at some level. I could care less how someone caught their trophy, whether it was on their own, or whether someone told them to "drop this, right here". The only thing that matters is the size of their stoke when they smile for the camera. The fish is not the trophy, the stoke is.

Go fish. Hire a guide, don't hire a guide, I don't care. Just be sure to post a picture of your stoke. Tight lines...
