Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

A comment on my current avatar led to pondering the rides you've had of your life.

I'll share mine if you share yours.

The coach out of Stevenage and then from Milton keynes after Christmas 2009. Leaving my ex who had failed to tell me she was a psychotic ex head with urges to cut herself with glass and tendencies to rage quit.

That was a good ride. I got hypothermia from leaving the flat at 5am in minus ten degrees weather and having to wait for a train from Knebworth to Stevenage and then also wait for the first coach til 9am.

By the time the first coach arrived, I couldn't make a sentence or even words. Got to Milton Keynes and then got a space on an early coach and fell asleep. Woke up drooling on the shoulder of a black guy that looked and dressed like Cleveland Brown. Was also later told by another passenger that I'd also been sleep talking.

....ohhhhh you meant motorbikes?

The owner of a very famous race horse used to come where I used to work up in the midlands and new I had a soft soft for the said race horse, he arranged for me to visit the yard the horse was at and to meet more famous race horses, and to top it off I got to take him out into the school for half an hour!!

Awesome, i hear HALO is a very precise manoeuver, easy to miss the point of no return with such a short space of time for accuracy? Read that about the SAS I think or maybe it was Delta Force back in the day

We are lucky to have beaches here, so ride quite often along the beach and into the sea bareback! Lovely feeling

I was 1-Para SFSG and jumped with the SAS regularly as we supported them on ops.

The ponr is very fine and the slightest miscalculation ends badly, you can't just pull your chute either because of the velocity you're traveling at so you begin a routine several thousand feet before you deploy your main.

Tried that when i was young and not so wise, did nothing but spew for 2 day solid lol

Best ride i ever had was on the back of a huge motorbike when i was in my teens, cant remember what bike it was exacty but it was a yamaha and looked like a harley, hit 130 down the m4 though.

the other best ride was a derestricted BMW M5 down the same stretch of the m4, went faster than the 155 they supposed to do anyway lol

Has got to be the freakiest feeling ever, plummetting to your potential doom and having to keep a good mind for calculation. Though I suppose a certain kind of people are calmer in crazy situations; like the kind of soldiers they screen for the SAS

Not really what I'd call freeky, obviously you have a considerable number of jumps under your belt and the training is drilled into you over the course of weeks before you even attempt it.

It is a rush, falling towards the earth at over 450mph knowing that if your main fails your reserve really won't do anything to help.

HAHO jumps are what I'd call freeky...lol

Alton

I've got two (is that allowed?). The first was a zipwire down Wildcat Mountain in New Hampshire last year and the second was the first time I used a Kamagra Jelly. The thrill was similar though, although the second one lasted way way longer!

Brighton - even Hove!

Two for me (greedy) first was on the back of a motorbike where I was told to keep my head down and hold on. I wondered at the time (I was about 10) why all the cars had stopped. They hadn't, we were just going so fast it appeared that way. Second was when I piloted a small aeroplane by myself for about 15 minutes. I pretended I was in a Spitfire.
