Im with the mountain biking too! I raced a bit of cross country for a while. Nothing like a sweet flowing piece of singletrack when you just got "the flow" happening. I also love going down edge of the blue mountains. Got up to about 60mph, going the same speed as cars on the expressway. Cool.

I used to sail when I was in scouts as a kid. I used to love having the baot on the edge, with little bits of water pouring in over the side (gunwail, its a nautical term), your butt as far out over the edge as your dare (no harness), watching the water surface to watch the wind. Awesome. Ohyeh, that was in Sydney harbour too, so were looking at the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera house.

Go-karting is a massive rush too. Your butt only inches off the groung as you try to pull a slingshot move out of the slipstream as you try and pull past that guy in front.

Drag racing was cool too. I only posted 19 sec times, but lining up and watching an 11 sec car in front of you is pretty intimidating and scary, esepcially on your first ever pass. Man those cars were loud!

I did a Sydney Harbour Bridge climb too. Man, that is one high bridge! Im also scared of heights...
