XXXtreme Sports!!!

Hazys

(The 3 X's has nothing to do with the Lingerie Bowl, just wanted to highlight the extreminess of this thread, sorry frappers)


The only thing i have done is a sky dive which was great craic but probably not enough craic to pay the ridiculous amount of money to do it again. Not a big extreme sports guy, in fact i dont even like rollercoasters, but there is only one thing i would be interesting in doing which is Zorbing, which seems a lot more fun and safer thing to do on a hill than this.



So what crazy extreme sports have the boardies adrenaline junkies undertaken? and do you have any massive fail stories?

You think that's bad?! I went to the swimming pool straight after dinner before... Think there's a video of it on youtube now aswell..

ScumLord

If the running of the bulls is a sport then so is La Tomatina, I was at that and I assumed I won, everyone else gave up but I stayed throwing tomatoes at people for two more days.

Savoy Cinema.

Upstairs, when your watching a movie in Screen 2, 3 or 4.

Come out and if nobody's about, slide down the Gold Center Rail.

Whips you down so fast you nearly scoot clear over the little balcony thing.

Be careful, get caught and you're sure to die of embarrassment.

Yeh, but, it might be gettin closed down, head office told them to cut 3-4 staff to save money. Keep that on the QT though. I can't reveal sources :cool:

There's no option for none of the above.

I'm not surprised.

Been there twice and the place was near empty.

Why don't you get some placards and a bucket and protest the closure?

"Down with this sort of thing, Save the Savoy"

Swords is great if you want a whole cinema to yourself.

Just buy a ticket to the Mezz during a weekday and there is never anyone there.

Leather recliners too

seanybiker

I once ate an after 8 at 7. god that was crap.

i suppose motorbike riding would be extreme for some people.

I've sky dived, bungee jumped, rock climed and hang gliding. I'm dying to do a shark cage and base jumping is something i'd love to get into.

Alkers

Pretty poor list tbh
Rock climbing isn't really too extreme, done it anyway as well as:
Downhill Mountain Biking
Was in a Zapcat a couple of times, insane!
Abseiling,
White Water Rafting,
BMXing,
Roller Blading,
probably a few more that I've skipped over, haven't done any of the base jumping, sky diving etc... Love to give them a go though.

Holy fcuk, I never in my life even dreamed of doing any of that. I would be in fear of my life.


I wouldn't mind doing the shark cage thing, as I have a love for nature and the likes.

I went rock climbing when I was in the Cubs, which involved me pissing my pants and crying while the instructor had to pull me up the side of a cliff on his own, luckily I wasn't a chubby child.

I went recently to a place in Naas somewhere, that was mad craic. Very very tyring though...

It's spiderman, he's even wearing spidey's colours...

Seriously, what in the foook is that guy taking? He didn't climb up that cliff, he ran up it. Ha.

CianRyan

Solo climbing is mad stuff.
I'd love to get to that level of climbing, I've only just gotten the hang of bouldering... So it's gonna be a while. haha

Does watching that count as me doing an extreme sport??? cos I almost shít myself just looking at him doing it and the potential fall.

Haha, I climb cliffs, I haven't been out in a while though, thanks to the weather and the time off I have.

I'd call that more mountain climbing

Gillington

Out of that list I've just done a skydive,about 4 years ago.As awesome as it was,think Ill wait a few more years before I do another!

twinytwo

i cant believe no one has mentioned the most extreme sport of them all

ie cheeserolling:pac:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOyQBSMeIhM

Have to say base jumping is about as extreme as it gets

pickarooney

Cheese rolling looks like the bomb. Nobody caught the cheese though...

I've only done a few of the more pansyish 'extreme' sports like sky-diving, abseiling and kloofing.
