Yeah I'd say that pretty much trumps anything I was going to say.


Um, probably having uh, relations, on the ol high school stage while some games were going on on the other side of the curtain. Meh. That's weak.

65' cliff dive was pretty good! Purple forearms and feet for the next 3 days were less thrilling.

getting pulled over by Crooked Russian police officers in St. Petersburg, and then bribing them to let us go with only $50. (Which is pretty hefty there).

riding in a helicopter...

...after lowsiding a bike at 90 mph hitting a retaining wall.




Scuba Diving is a close second though... just seeing so many wonderful things I'd never seen before was extremely exciting.

Spinning straight down towards the ground, at 100+MPH in a Decatholon, knowing if I froze up or screwed up, I'd die. I'm still here, so guess I didn't.

140+ on a GSXR chasing a Duc on the 280 in traffic middle of the day. Auto-crossing my Miata and take 1'st in class (only happened once ). In Monterey going down a steep hill near the prisidio, in a VW thing, the brakes gave out. Ran through three intersections, and almost plowed a car. Cracked my Tahiti to WOT (about 60 or so) skiming the lake with only 3 feet of boat in the water.

Nothing really all that exciting in my life. Still more to live, some day I want to build 100+ jet boat
