Anyone here take part in any extreme sports?
« on: April 18, 2007, 03:54:40 PM »
I was just wondering, because Im hooked on kayaking, or more specifically playboating.



That is the 2006 World Cup, starts with the juniors and builds up to seniors.

Obviously Im not that good, otherwhise I would be telling you that one of them is me

So anyone do anything like climbing, snowboarding, bungee, skydiving, etc?

I snow ski, snowboard, wakeboard, and have been known to surf.  I also like to ride dirt bikes.

Ive always wanted to go snowboarding but need to get round to booking a holiday next year.
I used to climb as well but I could never go that high as Im terrified of heights so used to mainly boulder
But kayaking is my main love now

I used to ride bulls, gone repelling a time or three. That's about it though.

Used to rock climb, rappel, and scuba dive, now just dirt bikes.

Rappel, dirt bikes, rodeo, bull riding. 

Those are definately more American sports than English. Id have to say that I would be too scared to do most of them.
Especially the bull riding and rodeo! Those look like crazy things

I don't know about Paul, but when I was riding bulls it was an awesome adrenaline rush. Repelling too, I'm a junkie, what can I say?

over 60 on a mountain bike, several cliffs over 50 ft on my snowboard, rappels over 250ft, climbing over 800foot faces, but nothing even comes close to squaring off with a ton of pissed off hamburger that wants nothing more than to stomp yer head in the ground. man i love/miss rodeoing.

:/O

No way, I like doing stupid things in rivers/the sea where mother nature can kill me, I like to think that Im good enough to get around being drowned at the moment. But I just dont like adding a risk which is a an animal into the equation, especially something that whats to stamp on my head. 

  I have done "Toro Piscine" which means Bull Swimming Pool or Swimming Pool Bull. Basically we got chased round a ring while trying to play football, getting coins from a swimming pool while there was a raging bull or 2 trying to brain us, all for a bottle of cava each. That was particually stupid!!! Also Ive done bungee in New Zealand, that was the biggest adrenaline rush Ive ever had, I was bouncing for about 8 hours after

I grew up during the initial skateboard era, Alva and stuff. Always been a little extreme in stuff, but now I let my son do the orthepedic visits, although I still have my moments. Attached is a local clip from a story they did on me. Just showed up at my house and asked if they could take some pictures.... Yes I rode it, and explained how to fall properly and showed how to improperly fall after you get past Vert! Other things are waterskiing, kneeboarding, I'm hell on a jetski, and I try to ride any rollercoaster I can get near. Took a 3 day trip to Tampa just to ride Sheikra, just because my son saw it on the internet and it was brand new..... We really want to do some snowboarding one day, to at least experience it.

I am into flying big ram air kites that lift me off the ground.  I wanted to learn to kite surf, but my wife thought I would kill myself.  The kites are pretty fun.  I like hiking, but I don't get to go much.
