Do you want to try something new? or not...

[random]

So what are some things you want to try??

I'm 25... and i've never touched a drop of coffee... the closest i've come is tiramisu and coffee ice cream... lol

Something i want to try is skydiving... i really want to but i'm also scared... as i get scared over this kinda things pretty easily lol over the summer me and my mates go down the Nielsen park down at Vaucluse and there is like a 10-15m jump off down to the beach and i can stage fright and basically shit my pants... (it is "sort of" safe, there is a sign, which says jump at your own risk)...

So how about you guys? anything you would never try? and something you want to try?

Hmm interesting topic. Being the old bastard, well not ad old as Rev555, of 30 that I am I've missed a fair few opportunities for these sorts of things. I guess for me the few things left on my list are to track my car, just once at least, to drive a supercar just once, preferably an Aston DB5, but I'd settle for anything I guess.

The three biggies would be learn another language (Cantonese) which I will do by default I guess in a few years, but I'd love to live and work in HK for a year or so. Last but not least is a great driving holiday through Europe, but don't think that'll happen for a long time.

Sky diving is fun, the height perspective is not the same as jumping off cliffs and the such, you should try both as it's a blood rush for sure. I used to be a bit of an junkie for action sports >D

I have had 25+ sky dive jumps before I got married and have had pro license to jump off a plane without any one accompanying me. If you want to do it, my advise to you is to go to a safe company that trains you how to sky dive. There are some training involved even if you do tandem jumps. For your first time, you have no choice but to tandem jump. If you then feel you get addicted by it, then there you will have to undergo extensive training on how to lift, suspend, and operate your parachute. You cannot take this lightly and you have to be 100% safe even though you have done this a number of times. The only way to overcome fear is to face it(reasonably). Believe it or not, parachuting is safer than jumping off a cliff.

Wow Jig is there anything you haven't done? I thought about getting my license after my first jump but back then the cost involved was the stopping point and now well let's just say they have a weight restriction :p

we used to jump off this one place just off Fairlight Walk as kids... went back there a couple of years with my old schoolmates for a bit of reminiscing and found that they had closed the place off cos some kid had cracked his head jumping off there.

yeah i've heard of the camp cove one... went there a couple of years back, didn't jump off there. I prefer to stay on the beach, where it is safe lol

As for coffee... i just don't see the temptation... don't know why... as i like most other addictive things...

oh artsian cafe, i go there sometimes.. when my mates have coffee, as i live close by.

OK guys, something to inspire you, or maybe scare the cr*ap out of you.

I did this back in Feb of this year (Queenstown, NZ). Just Amazing. Much more crazy than skydiving (done it few time already).

Enjoy the video:eek:

Great video!! looking at you jumping out i got a little scared!!!

Anyways i can't do bungee jumping as i have bad ankles and knee. My ligaments won't be able to hold up to those pressures.

Bungee is actually more scary than Skydiving I found!! Skydiving u go up to 13000 feet and freefall 7500 in 1 minute travelling at close to 200km/h then the rest of the way you parachute down which takes about 6-7 minutes or so.

Bungee gives you that freefalling feeling but its scarier because u can actually FEEL urself freefalling whereas with skydiving, its so high up and ur travelling so fast that the wind and everything in your face is quite surreal.....and also u get the ground rush (sensation that the ground is coming UP TOWARDS you) when you bungee.

Awesome experiences though. And I'm a massive girl when it comes to anything to do with heights.
