    For me it was Nemesis in Alton towers a few years ago. Next up, it was surfing (or at least when I could stand up on the board). Another high scorer is hoofing down the trails in Howth on the Mountain bike.

    I would love to hear what other good stuff folks have done. I need ideas!

    :)

    Going to a site with listings for casual sex, arrange to meet someone, get free drink and **** off somewhere else. Always ask for bottles and open them yourself :D

    Come on there are a few better rides in that park alone!
    Air, Rita Queen of Speed and Oblivion. :-)

    if you liked nemesis you would love cedar point in ohio, islands of adventure in orlando and busch gardens in tampa, some worldclass rides in them, havent been to cedar but its has been voted best park in the world for the last few years. The rides on top of the stratosphere tower in las vegas (1000ft in the air) also kick ass, insanity and x-scream cannot be described in words.

    hiking down the grand canyon is an out of this world experience, maid of the mist at niagara is pretty cool, i have done a version of white water rafting too and that was great

    Coolest thing I done was when I won a competition to see a quarter final match(Germany V Argentina) in the World Cup back in 06

    Twas deadly, I was right behind the goal for penalties and everything!

    I was within 40 miles of Cedar Point last year. I reckon those big rides like Millenium Force would actually scare the crap out of me. Its the big steep drops that kill me. Although I reckon I could hack this at most: http://www.flickr.com/photos/uknemesis/194938381/

    We did a bit of a hike on the Kaibab trail in the Grand Canyon. It sure was fab, but I wouldnt describe it as laugh out loud fun. Pretty breathtaking nonetheless.

    Rita queen of speed wasnt built when I was in Alton Towers (2002). Oblivion looked waay too scary, so i gave that a miss. Air didnt deliver the same level of thrills as Nemesis imho.

    I was in the tower in Vegas myself. I decided not to do the vertical blast off ride after nearly dying of fear on a similar ride in Southport, England.

    I did skiing on Mt Hood a few year back. I had to learn quickly (no formal lessons). How I came off the mountain without broken limbs, ill never know. Very hard work, and I reckon I would have enjoyed it more if i got proper lessons.

    Time to stock up on some brave pills. :(

    Such a tough life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,861 ✭✭✭Irishcrx


    Camping on a beach in Donegal and surfing the next day, smoking a little , drinking, blazing heat was best weekend of my life..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 343 ✭✭jcrowbar


    Taking the Green Tortoise tour bus to Yosemite National Park in California about two years ago.

    Either that or winning $100 in hooters casino in vegas. Free money, free booze and hot chicks FTW

    Alton Towers also loved Oblivion thought it was better than Nemesis. Six Flags in Holland is also great brilliant rollers also. Getting married was a fun thing to do - watch all our family squabbles boil over ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,608 ✭✭✭Spud83


    Skydive.

    Surfing my favorite left hander in sligo at twice overhead, getting consistently barreled, trying not to look at the boulder sitting in front of the wave and trying to stay out of its way!

    not sure if it's the most fun i've ever had but me and a mate of mine dug a huge hole on Delray beach in Florida with our bare ands and a frisbie. People stood around in admiration, i got a high 5 off a kid followed by "AWwesome hole DUDE!". We where kings....

    but then the lifeguard told us that it was too dangerous and he made us fill it in.

    Did something similar when I was younger - came from a family of 6 kids so we all hit it with a vengeance. There's something admirable about digging a huge fcuk-off hole - remember we had a small crowd of Frenchies observing when we were done!
