We all know the thrill of swinging and nervous anticipation involved in the first meeting. But I am curious about what extreme sports people have taken part in.
Mine was Sidecar Racing in the 80s. one inch off the ground doing 165 mph on a platform not much bigger that a Tea tray and hang out by your balls for the corners. A very misunderstood sport. |

I can only assume it was your massive Cojones keeping the sidecar flat through turns! 😳
Given your username, I assume you're still gripping and ripping V4 Hondas? 800 or 1200 though? |

your right there its a Honda VFR 800 I ride on the road.
A bad accident in 86 brought the best three years of my life to an end, when my best mate the driver was lost and I suffered a blood clot on the brain
(now recovered) |

I've given up almost all now being 60 and tamed it down a bit to wing foiling but I've had a go at anything I liked the look of just like being on here really. Skydiving, paragliding, wakeboarding, kitesurfing, windsurfing, sailing, mountainboarding, hill climbing (motorsport), scuba diving, pretty much anything that could result in injury or death LOL. my kids joke with me on how I've managed to live to my age, life is very short with lots to fit in. |

Scrambling on one of those buggers
I recently bought one of the Mk2 choppers
I tried riding it and I dont know if its my age or dodgy balance from head injuries. But the dam thing is lethal
wobbling all over the road. |

I guess that you used your reserve chute and survived that one. pretty much like me in 1986 at Cadwell Park we had a bad accident my best mate the driver was lost
and I suffered a blood clot on the brain
But once fit I had another go in 1993. |

"Insurance companies class full contact medieval combat as an extreme sport. We don't, as we try to not hurt each other (though when we get it right, it looks like we're trying to kill each other)"
👍
Always fancied a go at this |
