- Swimming with Hector dolphins in the Akaroa bay
in the South Island of NZ - they are such
beautiful creatures.

Action
Packed |
|
- Sky diving from 5000 feet. It was a static line
(therefore only 8ft of free fall) but it was
2000ft higher than any normal static line jump
and they could hear me yelling for joy on the
ground.

|
- Racing my Dad from Taumranui to Te Kuiti in the
North Island of New Zealand. It's a fantastically
fast and curving road through pine and native
forests. Dad had an RD400 two stroke and I owned
a CBX550F1 at that point (inline 4, 16 valve). I
have never again wound a bike out past 10000rpm -
it was the best hour I can ever recall on a bike
- and it was with my Dad, that just made it.

|
- White water rafting down the Kawarau River in
theSouth Island of New Zealand.
|
| Scariest |
|
- See all the Action packed ones - I never said I
wasn't scared doing them - hehehe.
|
| |
|
- Brunei, The Sultans personal fun park. Being
dropped down one of those towers of death
thingies - I'm sure my heart stopped. In saying
that I've done the Drop Zone at Great America and
one at 6-Flags New England - scary as hell but
WOW what a rush.
|
| |
|
- Bulgaria, having just crossed the border and
traveling down the road when a truck coming the
other way is passed by a bus and heading straight
for us on our side of the road. I was forced off
the side of the road into the gravel on a road
bike travelling at 100kph and weighing about
500kg.
|
| |
|
- Surfing one night, yes at night, at a West Coast
beach in NZ (West Coast beaches are pretty
rough). I barely made it back in against the
strong outgoing tide - I was seriously thinking
it was over.
