Default Extreme Sports

I was going to make a poll and see what kind of extreme sports people have done, but there are so many. So figured I would keep it open ended for members to discuss what they've done.


Me:

- Skydived 2 times
- Bungee Jumped (4 times off a crane, 2 times off a bridge)
- Cliff Dived once
- Grew up in California, so I was a BIG surfer until I moved to NY (still surf when I go back for visits)
- Windsurf every summer here in NY
- Rock climbed once
- Love to snowboard when I can

Never did motocross, but would definitely do it. Thats about it for me though. smile.gif

Don't have any pictures right now but do downhill mountain biking is my thing. You ski down ski hills...I bike down them. Nothing like flying down a ski hill on a bike doing 80km/h.

Hmm...not sure what all qualifies, I'm sure some of the stuff I'm going to list doesn't but oh well.

Downhill mountain biking (once)
Rock climbing
Skiing (once)
White water rafting (once)
Rough water canoeing
Dirtbike racing/jumping
Paintball
Quad racing/jumping
Bowhunting
Bowfishing
Spearfishing
Snorkeling
MMA
Kendo sword fighting

I would like to hang glide, but it hasn't happened yet. It's tough to muster courage for it when you're scared of heights.

Ive been skiing 4-5 times and snowboarding.
Im not much of an extreme person. I don't like scaring myself for fun.
