It's amazing what you can do with the right equipment.
Sunday behind Penguin Isl. managed to pull off my biggest backie followed by a barrel roll , stalled backie, half cuban eight, inverted pull up and tumble. as you may have guessed the equipment I was on was not a wave board but a 300 Extra from attitude aerobatics.
After seeing one win the red bull air race I couldn't book fast enough.
With windsurfers being an extreme bunch looking for that next level this is it! For the price of a cheap 2nd. hand mast ($300) I still can't wipe the smile of my face(or sleep at night).
If anyone else has tried any crazy s#*t that just has to be done at least once in a life time I'd love to here your ideas or experiences , got to go feed my snakes now, cheers.

Tried tandem hanggliding once...that was pretty cool.

Drove out into the wheatbelt somewhere and got towed up behind an ultralight.

Did sort of a corkscrew dive at the end of it that had me hooting and hollering like a good sesh at Lano...but it was all over too quick.

Thought about taking it up but there ain't enough hills in Perth worth jumping off!

I'd love to get into hanggliding Pointman if there were some local spots within 100km's. As with yours my 1st. hangglide was over way to quick as well.
Only tried downhill with a Y33 cross country bike. I thought I was doing OK until Nath's wife Shan pushed me off and got mild concussion, haven't gone since. She didn't really push me but that's what I like to tell everyone[}:)], don't tell anyone Leech.
Thanks for the back up Stribo, I didn't know if anyone would understand just how "F$96@en awsome!!!!" it is. Simulators are good but you can't fake G's. The chopper sounds joy, I'll look into it.

I bungee jumped 14 times in one day. Not just the standard jump but I went off the roof of the tower on a skateboard, shopping trolley and also a slide. Sat on a chair blind folded and was pushed over the edge. Did a backwards jump with three backflips before hitting the water. Feet first jump etc etc etc. My favourate jump was the fruit bat. Hard to explain. It only cost $100

Stribo, instead of a flight you got a DINK?Shame ,shame, shame.
14!! Your brains must have been like mush. How many spear gun rubbers did you tie together? I can still see your nuts.
An overweight chick I know lied about her weight and said she wanted to touch the water, she hit HARD.
Done plenty of night dives but pot holing, that seems insane.

Does doing a bunch of Sydney to Hobarts and Sydney to Noumeas etc count?

Climbing masts at night in Bass Strait in BIG breeze does get to be quite interesting at times.

WOW!! Like the add goes, "There are sports,... and there are EXTREME sports."
Not sure which category the Sydney traffic is in.

Although I once was driven to Kingsford Smith airport by a lunatic Leb taxi driver in peak hour traffic while driving one handed and peeling pistachio nuts with the other. On asking him about the safety aspects of this he said something like " when my time is up, my time is up" so it didn't make much difference what he did. I was a nervous wreck by the time I got to the airport as most of his attention seemed to be directed towards the pistachio nut peeling process.

Now THAT was an EXTREME SPORT!

Well, as long as your sorry then I guess that's ok.
I hear there's a kite pride parade in Northbridge each year.
As far as great extreme sportsmen go, was there ever any better than Leo ****er from the Paul Hogan show?

I think I know that little bird, it was flying around Rotto and Woodies last weekend.
He tells me the aircrafts are maintained at the highest level and the pilots aren't bad either. Over summer I'll give it a whirl, was just saving the best for last!

That vert stuff is just asking for trouble.
Not enough wind for a sail so a couple of hours ago while cray diving two dolphins came right up to me and started showing off, that was cool!
