What do you do for your fix??

Not much action on this tribe. I go for anything adrenaline producing. What is everyone into? I'm into cross country hang gliding. I ususally have a goal in mind and occasionally land there, but not always. If it's not as good a day as I thought, I land short, if it's better, I'll keep going. I have a set of powerisers on the way, I'll let you know if I break anything important. They're jumping stilts you can do flips in. There's a poweriser tribe if you're interested. Check out www.skyrunners.com. freefalling intrigues me, but it's so expensive for such a short time in the air. My longest flight lasted over seven hours, but usually two hours is about avarage. I have seen a fiberglass set of tiny wings you can strap on and jump from an airplane with. THAT sounds pretty fun. So sing out and tell everyone what floats your boat.

    scuba, scuba, and more scuba. Unfortunatly my local dive shop is "between" locations at the moment so I'm in a dry spell at the moment. Hopefully I will be able to learn dry suit diving this winter as I would really like to try some ice diving. Ultimatly I want to be into Search and Rescue which my instructor is a member of the local S&R team. Outside of that, skydiving and bungee jumping are my drugs of choice. Being in Iowa there's not a lot of activities going on to get the blood flowing.

      I have a powerkite and will have my new toys built up soon. Check it out - www.doomwheels.com Seems like a hoot, and I already have all the padding. I like dangerous, fast fun, but I still need to make a living. There are a lot of young kids who try to mimic the idiots on TV. I'm all for taking risks, going fast, flying through the air, etc.., but being able to do it the next day is high on my list.

    I'm posting nearly a year after the question was posed, because only now have I discovered this Tribe.

    What I do for my fix is traveling (when I can afford it) to exotic places to have wild animal encounters. It gets dangerous, especially when I play with venomous bugs (scorpions, wasps, tarantulas, bullet-ants, etc.). Feeding raw-meat by hand to a wild crocodile with no protection was an even bigger adrenaline rush than Scuba diving with sharks and playing with fruit-bats in Australia.
