It would be nice to get some pictures of everyone in here in a sticky thread with a picture of them doing anything from the various things they have tried or done in the past and has managed to have been captured by an unsuspecting lens, links to clips of you are welcome too! Unfortunately I can't get near a scanner atm…

Unfortunately I can't get near a scanner atm but have had this idea for a while so get posting and lets have ya

This could also help others coming in here to meet like minded people to possibly get together if they need a partner to practise whatever it is they enjoy doing.

I cannot for the life of me find a dive buddy to go spear fishing for example. It's a bit too dangerous/silly to go out on your own as you never know what might happen. Same goes for scuba diving and a lot of others so pitch in and help get things rolling

How about you post a picture/link to a picture of yourself too so we know your not takin the piss like the coder who looks at everything like a calculation, for reference see here

As you will notice this and this has nothing to do with this lad here

Yah have a few photos - none up online tho. Also not scanned most of the few I have - but might be a good chance to get round to that.

Dev do boards do hosting for photos? Or how and where can i throw em?

Will sort it next week probs.

Edit: Also could just meet up for couple drinks. I know a good few of the old boards crowd anyways and will try get to the next arranged meet thing - be good if a few folk from here turned up.

How about some of these - I'll try not to get carried away

Last year, early May, Whistler - got a dump of snow during the night and we were up the mountain early which meant we had it pretty much to ourselves - check out the fresh tracks

Or how about this, May this year, Mt Baker - sunny skies and shorts as we trained for the annual Ski to Sea relay race. I got to do the downhill ski leg, which turned out to be mostly uphill - you had to run up a black slope in your boots (carrying your skis) then scoot down the other side. Total time spent going up ~30mins. Time going down ~3mins.

If I don't get accused of thread-jacking I'll post some more...

Too late Dev, I'm already abusing your free space/bandwith ...

Right I remembered that there was a bio pic of me on my brothers site so i copied that out and hopefully its up

Here

and I'll need to get a scanner for my photos as I never got a digital and they are all lying in bags here. Looked through and theres a few, but to be honest a lot aren't great. Just don't generally take a camera when I'm out - maybe I'll try get some new though.

Anyhows I did find a pic of my current pride and joy which is my kite .. so thats here

Thats it for now, Ill check with friends - i know one of them had a digital.

Here's a pic of my new shortboard, got it on saturday for €120 with a bag and leash. She's 6'6 X 20 3/4 X 2 3/16. Haven't taken her out yet as there are two small dings in the tail fins.
I've got a disposable waterproof camera which we're saving for a good day so hopefully I should have some good action shots soon.

Yeah thats a well updated site...

He could give us a link to here if he's so inclined and might not hurt him to use the free hosting on Boards.ie either to rid himself of those annoying popups...

Just an idea. Anyway, we could start a sticky of links to good Irish sites for info, web-logs and general interest sites for readers. I for one would like to see whats out there for Irish extreme sports enthusiasts.

I'll get cracking on it as soon as I'm back from holiers, in the meantime if peeps would care to post whatever sites they regularly visit or know of then we can work from there. I'll go back through the other threads and gather all the links that have already been posted for a start.

I'll try get in touch with the guy who runs the site and get him to post a link to here as well, if you wanna host him with no popups I'm sure he'd be a very happy lad

Wakeboarding is brilliant, great craic, and not too difficult to progress once you get the hang of the board. I would greatly recommend it.

P.S That kite surfing looks the muts' nuts, I wonder if there are many places a beginner can get started...........hmmm.......

I've been quiet for a bit, so here are some pics. The snow's been kind of crappy this winter, but we've managed to get out a bit.

Here's some backcountry ski touring/mountaineering (using AT gear) from a few weekends back in the BC interior. Check out my old-skool ski jumper

Some of the trips we have even had enough energy to dig snow caves - here's a picture of the morning after a lovely sleep. The big black thing on the left is a tree trunk we had to dig around...

Deadly boarding photos lads - keep them coming! The conditions looked pretty good!

Here's one of me taken from "Adventure Kayak" magazine - they did a feature on kayak racing in Canada. No sign of my name unfortunately, but I'm the devilishly handsome guy in the #4 vest

My wife was disgusted - the one week of racing she missed all last summer, and they go take a picture and publish it... needless to say, I bought quite a few copies of the magazine to leave lying around the house.

I don't know if you guys consider sailing an extreme sport but since I don't have any pics of me windsurfing this one of me in a Laser 4000 will have to do.

And we race in those things for all those who don't think it extreme enough...

Since the link I posted above is now a bit out of date (old site is gone and replaced with a shiny new one ) I'd better give a link for our current photogallery -> http://mbul.csn.ul.ie/Photogallery/index.php

More will be added here soon once we get pics back from this year's Mountain Mayhem 24hr.
