If skydiving didn't exist. . . .what sport would you do?

[Bigwallmaster 0]

It's seldom that I meet other skydivers who aren't involved in other sports/activities. I actually consider skydiving an alternate to my favorite sport: Alpine rock/ice climbing. In my mind, I skydive because it gives me a similar buzz to that which I feel when I am up high on a steep pitch of ice.

I am curious to know what other people out there would do, if they didn't have skydiving as an option?

Cheers,

J.P.

I'd still be into racing (karts, motorcycles, cars), wakeboarding, snowboarding, waverunners, snowmobiling, and pretty much anything else I could find that would give me a rush.

Not that it matters since I'm not a skydiver yet anyway... but I will be this spring/summer if all goes well

back home i'm sure i would be really into snowboarding and biking (road biking is what i've been more into lately than mountain biking)

down here in australia i probably wouldve gotten into surfing, either that or kiteboarding... both of which i really want to get into but dont have the cash for

there's just something about "regular" sports that just doesnt do it for me...

I would definitely rock climb, which I used to do. I was a natural climber, very graceful and stronger than I would have thought. I would also scuba dive more, which I have done a bit (but not enough...would love to do more). I am interested in pursuing Wind Surfing, which I have yet to do. I am also considering caving at some point, but I don't know if that's considered that's a true "sport". Fire dancing also calls to me...gosh, so many things to try and such little time.

I'd be an ice skater.

Ha. Nice question.
I completely forgot that I went to a training center for swimming every single morning at 6, winter, summer. Every day. Where are those days?
My son still is doing it. I am too lazy, Nordic Walking. That's what I'm doing now afgter office hours.

I could see myself snowboarding. Kinda sucks that I don't live where the snow falls.

I'm so funny I crack my head open!

Well, if I weren't skydiving I'd be building choppers. Not a sport, but a whole 'nuther lifestyle just the same-

if not for skydiving, i'd be a world-travelled snowboarder...no question. it would be easy to travel for the hot mountains because of how much $$$'s saved from not jumping. enough to finance frequent trips to the big/hot spots. Alps, Whistler, Steamboat, Utah, etc...yum

man hunting!
(if my aim is as good as when I deer hunted, look out big boys!)

oh, you mean a real sport. uhh...
does ballet count?
either that, or mountain biking, backpacking, never mind, I don't like regular sports.

I would be doing what I am now. Working as a Golf Professional who races motorcycle, snowboards, freeride/DH mountain bike races, rock climbing, and photography.

If someone would plop a mountain in my back yard, I'd ski a whole lot more than I do now.

[Morcyk 0]

I would have to go with either skiing or surfing.

[christelsabine 1]

Doing what?
With my Nordic Waling Sticks perhaps?
Would love to do much much more in the water,
let me hear

Well if I was current I'd be living in a trailer on the DZ and have my tandem raits; need to go under the knife this winter for the shoulder

but if skydiving wasn't an option... maybe crochet, knitting... or maybe making paper maiche bunnies...

I'd be in better shape and still doing Bobsled & Skeleton (skiing for:"just fun only"/competing made it a job)
