Enjoying my stay here at thiis forum so far... But wondering do any of you do any extreme sports?
Like skateboarding, inline, BMXing, Snowboarding or anything else? If you do post your gear here Would be interesting to See what you guys own...
I'll start first.... With my skateboard. So Far it's a Alien Workshop Josh Kalis Board. Phantom 2 Trucks, Bones swiss bearings, Ricta Super crystal wheels....
Will see if I can post my snowboard later...

I don't really have any extreme sports under my belt, but I mow my lawn sometimes.

I'm too much of a self-preservationalist to do any of this stuff. But one macho sport here that has really taken off is Extreme Ironing
reasonable video link http://www.abc.net.au/thingo/txt/s1123954.htm
:D
So is that a real sport? Cause I saw a thing in the news about it, they were hanging from the side of cliffs and ironing. Which is pretty cool :confused: i guess...

That's a sport?! :eek:
Who do you compete against, other people or the rooster? How do you decide who wins then? Whoever comes out of it with the least/most horrific injuries?! :D

i'm a semi-pro inline agressive rollerskater, here's my photo doing a mute grab on the half pipe
i use roces 5k rollerblades, only safe gear i use are the kevlar roces gloves
i also do skicross in the winter, my equipment:
atomic sx9 skis (with atomic 410 device binders given with those skis)
salomon x-wave 7.0 skiboots
salomon screamer skihelmet
salomon ski poles
dragon googles, they're usually for snowboarders but i like them anyway
also windsurfing in the summer, but i'm not sure if that's an extreme sport, i don't have any windsurfing equipment anyway

hhhhmmmm extreme sports
kite surfing, that gives me the biggest kick :p
hmmm slightly less extreme for me xc biking across britain in sum comps
and even less which is cool if u jump but just skidding along the water gives a soothing rush i.e. windsurfing:p
luv kites not the ones yr thinking of but the massive ones that lift u off the ground:p
heres a link to a compny that i buy some kites from u can watch the vids aswell:p

Where do you board? Are there a lot of hills where you live?
I don't longboard, but I know some seriously insane people who do it around here. One guy in particular bombed a road at 4am - it's very steep and about 2km long - apperently he was going well over 100km/h :eek:

short answer: its as flat as shit :p nope, no hills, we make our own momentum, one reason why i have such strong legs, or you can skitch off cars to get some speed then let go and start carving, so its more flatland trick type stuff rather than major speed, like getting going then sliding through someones driveway back onto the street
im thinking of making a short surf/longboard cideo with my friends if i do ill show yall

I'm going for seriously long-distance running and cycling but I don't know if it qualifies as an extreme sport...
