Have you ever done anything extreme, and out of character? I mean like bungee jumping, B.A.S.E. jumping, hang gliding, canoing a class V rapids, parachuting, things that most people think you are crazy to try!
I would love to hear of them. I am a chicken with a queasy stomach, so I do not dare to do these things, so I want to live vicariously through others.
I did get on a big thing called the sling shot. It was so scary, but so fun at the same time. A good friend of ours did this the morning of the day he died, and we did it too, as a tribute to him. His wife got to ride alone, which is against the rules. But after hearing her story, they let her go. I figured if it was his day to go and he did not die on the slingshot, t could not be too bad, LOL.
It was very cool. You get in a seat sort of like the seat on a ferris wheel. They buckle you all in snug and then they stretch the two bands on both sides. When they are good and taunt like a rubber band, They release the seat and you go up and down, and up and around and down and over and... well it is a heck of an experience to say the least.
Now I shared with you, you share with me please!?

Once when I was snowboarding in Austrian Alps with my friends we get off the track a bit and get stuck in one place where there were small cliffs and we couldn't snowboard there so we had to take off our boards and had to even jump from cliffs(not very high) and then slide down a little. Falling there wouldn't be fun...although it is SO MUCH BETTER to snowboard off the track where there is this fresh snow :)

I have not done anything that extreme. I used to love roller coasters but now with my seizure disorder, they are not so much fun. Roller coasters tend to trigger a seizure for me. So now I am very careful about the activities I get into.

What is extreme for me is probably tame for most people! However, after several years of getting my courage up, I finally rode Space Mountain at Disney World with my granddaughter. (For those who don't know, Space Mountain is a roller coaster in pitch black.) It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Kind of neat, really.

I've never done anything extreme. I would admit what I like, which was extreme enough for people I knew. I'll admit I want the latest Pokemon games and I want to see the new Barbie Mermadia movies.
As for bungee jumping or something as extreme, I wouldn't do it.
