Going to a trackday for motorcycles. That seems really fun. I'm going for my first time in October at RENO FERNLEY.

Tandem Skydiving is really fun and isn't as scary as you would think, especially after you reach terminal velocity at about 120mph (acceleration stops after about 5.5 seconds of free fall). It is only $100! You can also take a 10 jump course (and get certified) which last 3 days and costs $1000. After that you only have to pay $15 a jump for the plane (and buy your own shit of course).

Snowboarding, wakeboarding, offroading, dragracing.
I used to surf and agressive rollerblade and skateboard.

I went snowboarding last season on the last day at heavenly for the first time. Even though I was barely getting the basics down and falling down every second. I couldn't wait for this season to come up and it's almost here. I have my boots that I just bought a few months ago for this season I just need to get my board and bindings. I can't wait.

Snowboarding is kick ass.. i can't snowboard for shiat, but i love it. i remember the first time i tried it i got adicted to it.. unfortunately i don't have any equipment or i'd go more often.. .. i remember my first time there i was going on the toughest trails.. going up ramps and landing on my head.. trying to go up the halfpipe and not being able to turn.. falling face first and having the board smack me on the back of the head on two different opportunities.. hitting a couple of trees.. going off road and getting stuck..
man.. just totally kick ass..

Snowboarding is sick.

Wakeboarding is tight also.

I like blasting through the canyons in malibu between highway 1 (PCH) and the 101 freeway.

such a rush to nail a corner just right where the front end hooks while going 80mph

I'm surprised nobody mentioned surfing. Once you go out it's addicting, it's a lot of work but a lot of fun once you get the hang of it.

I also want to do tandem skydiving. I've wanted to do it in Hawaii but didn't have the cash and was late to my jump so they were going to charge for being late.

I recommend surfing, it's cheap after the initial investment and it's a lot of fun. It does take a long time and a lot of dedication to get good. Dropping in at 2x overhead OB is a lot of fun, hell just being out there will make your heart pound.
