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

Recommended Posts

Professional co-ed naked trampoline.

I can't imagine anything but that being as fun as jumping. Plus I'd get to see almost as many boobies. :P

If I was not skydiving, I would be playing more Disc Golf, which I played before I got into skydiving.

I'd be spending more time inline skating.

I'd be spending more time kayaking (surf and flat water).

I'd be spending more time reading.

I'd be spending more time doing crafts like knotted necklaces (though I guess it wouldn't be closing-pin necklaces ;)).

I'm sure I'd locate and join a martial arts school; I've been too long out of that.

Nice. You ever done the Cresta Run?

That's on my list to get done...


The Cresta in Switzerland?
nope. the sled for that has a moving saddle and they wear toe spikes ($100.00 per run too)
All my Skeleton sliding was on Bobsled tracks and never on the luge sections(slower than Bobsled track)
I had a Haas Skeleton sled and a modified Podar Bobsled.

...I'd still be into racing (karts....



WKA? Evcer race at the Daytona Nationals?
What class did you run?

We loved ovals on the dirt but always went to Daytona for the sit-up class.


I'd still be racing karts.

When I got old, decrepit, and scared, I would race something with a roll cage on it!
My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

I'd be living near some kick-ass ski slopes and barrelling down the mountains. I've always had a need for speed. When I was in college in upstate NY, I went to Whiteface Mountain, Lake Placid, the site of the '80 Winter Olympics. The ski resort just happened to be preparing for the Empire State Games and were testing speed radars on the slopes. So I let it fly on one run, going as fast as I could past the first radar gun and slid to a stop. The readout said 66 mph. Not bad for a recreational skier who only got out to ski 5 or 6 times during college.

So that is what I would be doing a lot more of if there was no skydiving.

Hmmm a sport where the boobs sag an extra 3 inches after a trampoline session?

I have done slalom waterskiing ever since I was 8 years old. There was a time when I had people telling me I should get into a league and compete, but I already had long distance running as my main sport.

I would be doing slalom skiing seriously these days if I didn't have problems with my right shoulder... oh well...

Barefoot skiing? Fuggetaboutit!! My first and second attempts off the boom at 30 mph was instant splat (ouch) the second my feet touched the water! :D
