    Mountain biking and snowboarding are a good buzz, so is riding through South Auckland wearing a KKK uniform.

    Bridge swinging (set up the rig myself), alpine, ice climbing and rock climbing is pretty much my limit. Im scared of heights so it precludes me from several activites. I think I could jump out of a plane but am not in a hurry.

    12,000 ft sky dive (found that quite borring)

    Other great Kiwi things like Jet boating & black water rafting all good fun

    A stunt plane session (not bad)

    Scuba diving but I find that quite relaxing. Might be a bit different with some sharks arround!!!!

    I'd like to try the old hangliding.

    I think that one of the biggest buzz's would come from base jumping though! ! ! !

    I still get a great buzz from Track days though.

    Mate you must need some serious stimulation to get your fear glands pumping if you found a skydive boring!
    There's always the oxygen assisted helicopter option if you want a bit more of an edge.
    I love the smell of twin V16's in the morning..

    Know how you feel. Just hit 50.

    Jumped from planes in the military, had a few pieces of lead pass by me a couple of times. Abused the body so much in the younger days that I now take it as easy as I can.

    Wake up inthe morning with all the aches and pains. A few km on the bike and they all disappear.

    Still have one ambition left to fulfill, with regards to adrenilin rush. 200 mph on a bike. Closest I've been is 185mph.

    iv done a bungy and a skydive, jumping out of a plane was WAAAAAAY more fun. Would love to do more of that kind of stuff but its all about time and money. And there is so much stuff I like doing that ya can't do it all eh.
    Has anyone tried those street luges, they look pretty insane?

    I love the shit but finances are definalty the limiting factor for me, looked into getting a skydiving license after i did my jump, if memory serves me right its approx $4000+ or so. In the right conditons the record was 4days to get it, jumping dawn to dusk.
    no way. about $200 for the full static line course, then $30-$40 a jump after that. 10-15 jumps for licence and accellerated freefall.

    a 2nd hand chute will set you back $4k though.

    you can do it on a student loan now

    you need to get out of a 152 and into a 300hp pitts. i would say tumbling and inverted spinning is pushing the envelope

    Haha, in my wildest dreams.....

    Well at least I'm not stuck on a 152, we had a Robin for a while which is apprently much better than a 152 (never flown a 152 but I know some who have).... MMmmmmm I would love to get my hands on a pitts... or in fact any tail dragger........
