I would love to go the Pipe Masters one day. I reckon it would be unreal to sit on that beach watching the fellas dropping into some big death defying pits from such a close range.....

The other one would be to watch the AB's ag The Saffas in Jo'Berg - an amazing stadium there - then head to a game park for a week then down to J-Bay for 2 or 3 weeks of right hand point break heaven.

That single fin event looked pretty special Mac so I can only imagine how amazing the 12 towers would be.....I did love the original Coolangatta Gold though.

I hear ya LL - I watched Hermann Maier do a few runs at Cardrona one year. It was simply amazing the speed he went down that hill at. Unbelievable. When I was at Whistler a few yrs back I stuck my head over the Mogul track for a look - could not believe how steep it is!! It was almost vertical and definitely not a run for me on by snowboard

No laughing at this one but a few years back my sister was the physio for the NZ netball team and I used to go to lots of those tests between Aust and NZ and absolutely loved them (we used to win in those days ). So much for a non-contact sport.....the games were so physical - the chicks are really tough out there on the netball court. Great entertainment if you ever get the chance to go.

Would love to go to a big baseball game at somewhere like yankee stadium - not into baseball but just for the atmosphere.
And maybe the Monaco grand prix - the ultimate mix of over-indulgence.

Australian events would have to be the AFL grand final or state of origin


World wide American superbowl or one of the big basketball events would be hard to beat .

Wouldn't mind watching a game of that bikini NFL as well looks a lot more interesting then the female AFL games we get here .

I used to be a sporting events pig in my previous life.....used to get lots of opportunities to attend events with my old work....used to take it a bit for granted in the end and now I so miss them! I still can not get over how expensive it is to go things like Origin now.....madness - not been to an All Black game in years....although part of that reason is heading out to Homebush is such a nightmare. I still love going to the rugby or the cricket when I can access Paddington pretty quickly afterwards.

I should have gone to the RWC semi and final in NZ but decided against it as we always used to lose those matches

I am hoping to go to the Boxing Day test again for the Ashes - went last time and it was unbelievable! Best fun. Saw Warnie take his 700th and then fail to acknowledge most of the crowd that hung around to see him.....still I think he is a legend....Liz and all that

I went to 2 out 3 Triple Crown Events in 2005... Not the 3rd, Pipe Masters though. But all the Hawaiian Triple Crown Events are fun.

I would love to participate in a few stages of The Dakar Rally. The entire race might be a bit too grueling though.

When I lived in Italy, I regret staying in Rome (Roma) to watch some Italian Grand Prix Races (F1 & MotoGP), when I should have pulled my finger out and done a road trip... I had a car and fuel card!
