Extreme entertainment

Who tried to unusual forms of entertainment? Interestingly your experience and impressions. Including, perhaps, Flyboard? :)
For example, I flew on a paraglider, a few times on the hunt for wolves, bears and wild boars, drive a tank, skiing on steep slopes between trees. Of course, not taking into account the fact that driving a car in the winter in Russia is an extreme occupation :)
P.S. If this topic has been discussed previously, please provide a link.

I para-sailed in the Bahamas when I went on my cruise.
I use to climb any building when I was a teen. Schools, shopping malls, churches.
I bumper hitched in the winter time. If you don't know what this is it's grabbing the bumper of a car/bus and hanging on while it moves on the snow/ice covered roads.<-- thinking about it now, it wasn't very smart.


I guess nothing as dangerous and what you've done (skiing). :D

Well, it seemed to me quite extreme occupation ride skiing between the trees. I saw before my eyes men seriously injured when hit a tree at high speed. But I was luckier :D

As a child I also loved to climb on the roofs of tall buildings . Cool! :D
Most stupid act of my childhood was the case when my friends accused me of cowardice , if I can not climb onto the ledge on the outside of the window on the 25th floor of an apartment house . I was outraged , climbed in and stood there for a minute. Only afterwards I realized how stupid that was . Another was my stupidity and cling to ride trains. Once I slipped off the ladder rail car and fell under the wheels of the train. I managed to jump out just because the train was traveling slowly. After this incident, I have traveled by train only inside railcars :lol:

Alpine skiing and flossing my teeth (not at the same time) is about the most extreme. I did climb a cliff face with some friends once. LOL, and no, we weren't wearing climbing gear. We didn't want to walk the 3 miles to get to the hill top. We almost got stuck. :lol:

I have calculated your life expectancy. It tops out at two minutes. :lol:
But it sounds like a fun two minutes. Or a fun one minute, then another minute that's not so fun. Possibly just two minutes of total agony by the time you read this.

I have other ways of being amused. Laughing at suicidal antics is one of them. That's obviously in bad taste if you actually died. But as far as I know you're actually saying what you're saying, and you're not a clone of yourself, or a ghost. If you are a ghost I DIDN'T KNOW! I SWEAR!
Maybe I'll get to heroically rescue one of you someday after a very unfortunate encounter with ghostly energies turns me into a snow leopard.

For extreme entertainment, I'm either doing drag racing or aerobatic flying.
