      Motorcycle. Nothing fancy Yamaha FZ6.

      Playing a piano can also rise adrenaline.

      Here you can listen to my music:

      Diving is calm, but can become horror when equipment fails.

      @smakmeharder, I think that stick thing is an like wives tale. I barefooted for close on 20 years in all kinds of water (lakes and rivers with floating shiz) and never had an issue of injured my feet. Occasionally you could get a warm burning sensation bug never broken skin.

      I think if you hit something be size of your wrist you might be in trouble. But your moving very fast with a small contact patch on the water and stuff just pushes out the way.

      i used to love surfing and skating, but after my last dirtbike accident im lucky to have a leg. due to the injuries i pretty much cant do any sports anymore. id love another bike but its a bike or my marriage. so its 100% helis now. no regrets though.

      also i have a workkate who hit a peice of wood while skiing and lost his leg.mind you the peice of wood was a chep pallet.

      It's been a while now but I used to race motocross,supercross. Jetskis and wake boarding in summer , snowboarding in winter..usually anything for a rush even if it was towing a kicker ramp to a dam, river bank, off the end of a jetty and backflip a BMX off it.. All that was about 15 years ago and my body's feeling it now!
      Rc Heli's are my new adrenalin fix!!!

      @Piro-flop I can relate to the wife sentiment. I put myself and my ZX12R into the side of a caravan on a trip to Tasmania. My buddies thought I was dead for sure. My wife was not impressed and said I don't want you to ride again until he'll freezes over..
      She likes the helis better because I don't put the kids on them...

      Done some skydiving, hang gliding, scuba diving, abalone diving (free diving for the abalone), snow skiing, racing small and large sailboats. It's all fun!

      Awesome Christo! Motocross is MAD, i did a little bit of it but I knew i had the sorta personality where i would be scraped of a tree. I did a bit of snowboarding as well and dislocated my elbow after hitting some ice on a hard carve - wow did that hurt.. .lol. Jetskis can be fun expecially in the surf!

      Skydiving is awesome, I have done that a couple of times. You know i actually found skydiving relaxing - everything felt so surreal i could not relate it to fear. Bungee however was a different story, a really hard and fast rush. Abalone diving is a good way to become shark bate in Australia. Snow skiing- all ways fun, though i mainly only snowboarded but i can still relate.

      On my first jump, I was the third one out of the plane and the first one on the ground. We've got a place called "IFly". It's an indoor sky diving company. I've taken my grandchildren there to do it, and they loved it! We have great whites out here too, but the visibility is so poor I'd doubt you'd ever see one while diving.

      My jump was awesome. 1 min. Free fall. I loved the flying with the chute.

      I have to say my jump was incredible as well. Did it at Tyab airfield, it was so much fun. Its like a sensation of floating. If one were to die this way I think the trick would be to roll over and stare at the sky untill the big thud...

      Yes but its the Great whites that you "DONT" see that become a problem.... @simon would know quite a bit about great whites... Infact @simon should chime in here, he has done many ultra light flights, flying up to ridiculous heights and doing some crazy thermal soaring...
