I am not a smak pilot, more tending towards F3C ( yes its as exciting as a turtle squeezing out a turd ), my favourite is highly competitive activity is surfing, more around indonesia ( mentawai islands, scar reef in sumbawa etc).

As I live in Perth Western Australia, I occasionally visit margeret river, where we have a funny joke,

A shark was teaching its son shark how to eat, so it circled a surfer 3 times, the son shark asked, "why do you do that?" the daddy shark replied, "so it doesn't taste like sh i t".

 

Be for I started flying Rc helicopter I used to be fit lol I did a lot of windsurfing snowboarding mountain bike and ride my Suzuki gsxr1000 now all I do is feed my addiction for helis lol

Raced Super Bikes, rock climbing & not to long ago sold my Husqvarna TE610 Enduro.
Not sure what to do now. I'm thinking of getting another road trail bike but considering paragliding.

 

Awesome stuff. That' something I could get my teeth into.

 

It's a lot of fun that's for sure

My only other hobby is photography.....not much adrenalin involved, but I sure do enjoy it. I started doing that when I was 8 years old, with a kodak Duaflex camera. Shooting 120 B&W film.

 

Windsurfing 12years, surfing (ongoing), Muay thai 8 years (ongoing) and other martial arts. Hard to fit them all in!

 

Racing superbikes would have been a super rush... did you come away without perm injuries?

 

When I was fit; water skiing, slalom and barefoot. snow boarding and racquet ball.
later on motorbike riding; Kawasaki ZX12R. (written off in Tasmania)
Now it's all Helis

 

Full contact TaeKwonDo for about 12 years then suddenly everything started to hurt more the next day. I began to focus on helis!

 

Hey I used to do TaekwonDo as well Jeff! With the Rhee association! Great for leg flexibility....

 

How did you find barefoot skiing? Is it true that a stick can rip your foot to bits?

 

Wow, superbikes man what a rush... not to mention rock climbing can be very very scary as well. Superbikes are crazy shiz, need lighting reflexes and huge gahoonas for sure..

 

Super motard racing looks to be pretty crazy as well. Must have had some scary incidents i am sure....

 

So do you do big wave surfing @HungryHungryHippos ? I surfed heaps mainly around mornington peninsula/gunammata but never went OS like Indonesia. Scar reef can be pretty hairy, a surfer died there in april this year. You must have gotten some epic barrels for sure! I have only ever had swishy washy barrels, nothing like the monsters in Indonesia...Must be an incredible feeling. BTW good joke...lol

 

Dodging shotguns at family feuds, always got the Adrenalin pumping Or hanging off the back of a truck, doing 120 down the freeway after arguments with the brothers did the trick as well... I guess it was kind of a sport ? lol ...

 

Although I have surfed larger waves, I would say I go looking for waves with shape.

Whats really funny, there have been times during surfing when my heart felt like it stopped, but, when I first did rolls and flips with my rc helicopters, I had the same feeling.
