"Question"

Has anyone here ever bungee jumped, parachuted, been skiing or snowboarding?

I want to start snowboarding/skiing beginning of next year. Time for some different hobbies, methinks.
And then I want to jump out of a plane sometime soon. The thought of it won't leave my mind until I actually do it, so.. have to now. Most likely for charity, next month would be good for Children In Need, but not sure how far in advance you have to book..

So.. anyone experienced this stuff? Would be intresting to know what it's like. Pleashe. Or it doesn't have to be the stuff mentioned above - anything which gave you a rush!

Thankyou muchly.

Yeah, noticed that but thought I may as well be polite and say Thank You.

Abseiling rules. Although it wasn't as thrilling as I'd expected. Would do it again though.

Cheers for ze replies, guys.

Never, I repeat, Never look at womens bums when on somthing dangerous, also do not operate heavy veichles as well!

If you have dodgy knees or problems with your leg don't do skiing, snowboarding or bungee jumping go for the parachuting. OK you still have to land but's it's not half as bad.

One of my mates went skiing about a year after having a knee operation and "pop". Back on crutches for 8 weeks.

Not that I'm trying to put a dampner on your fundraising or anything go for it!

oh well

My friend did parachuting and died.

I abseiled down the local fire station a few years ago in aid of RNIB.

Parachuting is also a danger to your health if you forget (to open) the parachute.

thanks
