Does anyone here participate in any extreme sports?

IE: Sky diving, base jumping, parasailing, Wind gliding, hang gliding...ect?

If so post up a few pics of your adventures :)

Niceeee, I plan to go skydiving July the 18th, Can't WAIT!
 
Your going to absolutely LOVE it! It was the most serine experience I have ever had. Your experiencing something the human body was not intended to feel.... Extended free-fall. No joke its so peaceful, and right before you jump, you understand you may not come back as your life resides in a parachute and the wind.
 
I've been rock climbing (indoor) and hang gliding in GA. Hang gliding was totally awesome! I plan to go sky diving next year.
 
How was hang gliding, do you have any photos? I really want to do that!!!
 
You will love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't seem to find any of the photos, as I did it 9 years ago. But it was awesome. We were towed behind an ultralite to about 2500 feet before we cut loose and had free flight. We did this at dusk the first night, and the sunset was amazing just cruising around. The next day we took part in the flight school to work towards getting our certification to fly solo. Here is the link to where we went. Lookout Mountain Hang Gliding | 1-800-688-5637
 
I ride this like an absolute lunatic over any, bumps, humps, jumps that I can find and always feel I am pretty close to smashing both myself and the bike to bits pretty much all the time I am riding it. On the road it is slow compared to the XJ6. Offroad, the speed is completely insane!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Times :)

Not quite as extreme, but I used to ride mountain bikes and race BMX. Always was a little braver than my equipment would allow on downhill stuff with the mountain bike (I have a Gary Fischer trail bike. 5" of travel isn't much when you're on a real downhill trial.) Always wanted to get a real down hill rig. But $2500 minimum for an OK setup always kept me from doing it. Since I got hurt bad a couple years ago racing BMX, I haven't really ridden much and have fallen so far out of shape it's embarrassing. I got on the bike a couple of months ago and went a mile and just about passed out. :( I used to ride 20 miles off road regularly.

I've always wanted to get a dirt bike and become a desert rat. But money and now the resultant neck injury from the BMX race have kept my motorcycle riding limited to the street. I still consider riding a sportbike the way we do at times, especially on track, to be an extreme sport.

is that Jim Carrey?
 
i fight, is that extreme? kind of mainstream to join an MMA gym now.

would love to skydive or rock climb, but i am afraid of heights.

i guess i will just continue to subject my body to beatings because i am not very good but I still love it
 
so far it's mainly been a winter endeavour, but i like to powerkite...kiteski in the winter and one day i'd like to take it into summer too with kitesurfing (i have the board but not enough time to dedicate to it)

i also slackline. it's not very extreme but no other sport i've tried has resulted in so many injuries lol
