Members Kayla Posted May 27, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 27, 2008 You know I used to do Cliff jumping too. It's where you find a very high cliff and jump off of it into a body of water below usually about 40-50 feet. It's really exciting, you should try it sometime.

Members John81 Posted May 27, 2008 Members Share Posted May 27, 2008 I used to climb up high walls, the sides of buildings, tall fences and of course trees. Often these would end with me taking a giant jump. I used to be able to climb up the sides of brick buildings just using my finger tips and the tiny bit of the tip of my boots that would fit between the bricks. Today they have all these neat sports (mountain biking, rock climbing, extreme sports, etc.) but back when I was in my youth doing these things was considered way out of the norm.

Members John81 Posted May 27, 2008 Members Share Posted May 27, 2008 Kudos to you for inventing wall climbing... Most people either thought I was nuts or just taking to big of a risk. Now it's a popular sport and I see it on TV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Believe Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 I just wanted to jump in. This doesn't really rank up there with extreme anything but I...Do spinning. :ooops I'd love to get into "real" bike riding again. Once my toddler learns to ride we will join the older kids. Bike riding is one of the few sports that is good for my bum back. Not the extreme style though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an air dyne style excercise bike here at home and a mountain bike I use just to cruise around town now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kayla Posted May 28, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 I have two mountain bikes they are different weights and for different aspects of the sport one is for downhill and one is for trail riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 Mine is a trail riding bike but it's been a long while since it's seen anything other than the road or my yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kayla Posted May 28, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 Mine is a trail riding bike but it's been a long while since it's seen anything other than the road or my yard. I had a trial riding experience all planned for today. Then it was too muddy out, I didn't feel like getting stuck in the mud by myself so I stayed home and took a nap.

Members John81 Posted June 1, 2008 Members Share Posted June 1, 2008 In my teens I practically lived on a bike. Even after I got my drivers license I was on my bike more than I was in my truck. In all kinds of weather and during all seasons. They didn't have bike trails back then but there was a trail near home that some had made with their dirt bikes (motorcycles) that we would take our bikes on. That, and we would just go riding through the timber and down around the creek, off to the State park, or just riding through the country and elsewhere.

Guest Guest Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Thank you for posting this, Kayla! I used to bike all the time. I live around a huge state park, that I should be utilizing. This motivates me to want to buy a bike. My old bike wouldn't make it. I really should think about getting into better shape. It would make me feel great, too! :thumb candlelight P.S. ~ I am so happy that Our Lord and Saviour saved you...you are a blessing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
