There ya go!

I used to climb, rockclimb. There was this guy, Dan Osman, who intentionally took falls off the top of rocks while tied to a rope. He's dead now.

Some of my friends basejump off El Capitan. Never tried it, could never afford a setup.

XC skiing difficult terrain is quite a rush. Some of the trails are about 5ft wide and twisty with trees on either side. That's pretty cool, like singletrack mountain biking but without brakes.
