Vegas Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I'm looking for my next extreme sport, anyone tried mountain boarding?
tech_guy Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Here's one - try going in to the staff room at breaktime and proclaiming loudly, "Teaching? It isn't rocket-science is it?"....
Vegas Posted October 15, 2007 Author Posted October 15, 2007 According to the Times on Sunday one Teacher took 20+ attempts to pass their teaching numeracy test!! so they are not all rocket scientist's. Thanks for the suggestion but i'm thinking thats too extreme and possibly hazardous to my health.
jumpinjamez Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I got a mountain board for Cristmas and really looked forward to it but a crap summer has stopped that but i hope to find somwhere to take up this soon.

Jenko22 Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Freebord Snowboard All Year Ride any hill,any time,no lift tickets,no lift lines, no offseason. Total Speed Control Freebord's outside wheels act just like the edges on your snowboard. The result: total speed control that allows you to bomb the steepest street you want. Slide Into Switch Freebord's center wheels act like the petex base on your snowboard allowing you to slide your edge and drift into switch. Stop Edge in and slide to a stop, same as you do on snow. Carve And Slide Freebord's patented truck design is the only board on the market that combines both carving and sliding [think about it: without both, its not snowboarding].
K.C.Leblanc Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 According to the Times on Sunday one Teacher took 20+ attempts to pass their teaching numeracy test!! so they are not all rocket scientist's. Thanks for the suggestion but i'm thinking thats too extreme and possibly hazardous to my health. The scary thing is that probably doesn't disqualfy them from teaching maths. Actualy I wonder if it's someone we know? How about camping in the middle of the hockey pitch? That could be extreme.
PEO Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I do Kite surfing, thats a cool sport, I used to do alot of downhill mountain bike riding too
Vegas Posted October 15, 2007 Author Posted October 15, 2007 Looks awesome but I want something off road as I live in the cotswolds so no shortage of decent hills, I used to skateboard and want to get away from the tarmac.
rhyds Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 There's always extreme Austin Maestro driving (bear with me...) Take a Maestro (preferably the turbo) Remove the engine earth connection strap (result, engine earths through throttle cable) Drive car with throttle jammed open due to fecked cable
Guest richard Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Me all I have to do is argue with my girlfriend as she is a blue belt at judo.
GrumbleDook Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Ah ... I remember those days ... rolling around on the floor ... getting sweaty ... heavy breathing ... The judo was good too.
Guest richard Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Mmmm this judo thing sounds interesting It is till she decides to practise arm bars on me
tech_guy Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 For a massive adrenalin rush do what I did last year - go on holiday to Israel and drive around the West Bank in a hire car. Lost count of the number of time we had guns pointed at us..... :-)
Vegas Posted October 15, 2007 Author Posted October 15, 2007 Kind of left the military to get away from that!
Domino Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Street Lube I assume you mean street luge...? otherwise this is some entirely other kind of sport i'm not sure i wanna know about :? I've tried mountain boarding a few times, its loads of fun. just gotta kinda get over the "argh i'm gonna die!" factor of leaning forward down a steep hill.
TechMonkey Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Just got my mountain board (well just before the summer but no time to really do much) to go with my kite. ONly problem I have found is that kiting just gets very expensive! Really enjoying it though as you get the best of both worlds. No wind, go down stupidly steep hills. No hills, get pulled along by a kite. Stupid surface just get dragged around on your face by the kite
Vegas Posted October 29, 2007 Author Posted October 29, 2007 Awesome, had my first go on my new board this week during half term, wicked fun, loads of decent hills where I live so no kite needed. One thing though my daughter was better at it than me!
