what type of thing gets your adrenaline pumping more? snowmobiles, jet skis, and dirt bikes or skiing, wake boarding and mountain biking?

i just started mountain biking this season and close to the end of the season i tried to get my brother out to join me. he wasn't too impressed and said he would rather go dirt biking, "more the the 'f--k yeah' and less with the 'oh f--k I am tired" is how he worded it.

i like mountain biking because of the speed, the amount of focus and concentration it takes and the pushing my physical limits.

what's your preference and why?

Horsies all the way for me. I do play a lot of football (soccer) and do a lot of running though, so its not cos I am lazy.
 
Aeroplanes, for sure. Hot cars second. Meaningless recreational sex fits in there somewhere as well.

Well, I was going to vote for man power...I'm pretty sure it's the same as that. But, while recreational works for me, the meaningless part doesn't work as well. :rolleyes:

What a sad, sad day. I was able to resist making any lewd comments in this thread, but look at you guys! What kind of example are you setting?

Okay, I was actually coming here to make a lewd comment, but I resisted all day! :-p o:)

I resisted about half a day. Those thoughts came to mind the moment I saw the title. Then again, centaurs might be an interesting option. :rolleyes:

Boy, that's a tough call... I have always been a HP freak, but I think the experience of falling down the face of a twenty-five foot wave [making the face something like 32 feet high] while body surfing was about the greatest single thrill of my life. The power of the wave literally takes your breath away...and the fact that you're praying that you don't die. :biggrin:

Kinda makes me wonder what the 'Hercules' series would have been like if it had been produced in Mexico.
