# I've done firewalking
( more like fire 'whizzing along at a fair old rip )
I've done fire eating ( and just the other week [drunk] ) I have also done fireballing, when my mate threw a lit match at me when I was changing the gas tank on my motorbike.
Still, saved on shaving for a while.
I do all teh daredevil stuff. I am taking flying lessons for my PPL. I sail a tall ship ( just come back from round Britain ) I skydive and scuba dive and I make no excuse for any of it. I worked my ass off to get here and will enjoy every minute I have left.

# I'd really love to skydive!
I swim like a fish, so I doubt scuba would be all that hard, but freefall seems like an awesome thing.

Back in the old days, I wanted to fly Jets for the USAF. Didn't turn up due to a nasty car wreck, but I still like the sky.

# Well I did
The Faklands, two tours Northern Ireland, peacekeeping Cyprus. Bosnia two tours and Gulf war 1.

You tend to find your excitement threshold changes. My friends think I have a deathwish. They may be right, I'm just out to get a rush.

# This
It's the continuous rush of being able to push every limit. It's living in vertigo.

You cannot make your body feel some things on the ground. You have to be screaming through the sky at Mach 2 in a roll with your ass on fire. Ripping it out of the roll and plunging down only to pull out hard. Tossing tummies everywhere. Eating G-forces for breakfast. This is fucking fun!

# oh and
I'm scared of heights. No word of a lie. I just deal with it by flying and bungie jumping ( did 7 jumps and 9 reverse jumps in Whitehaven week before last )
If you have a fear, face it and enjoy the endorphins.

# Freefalling is a dangerous and terrible thing!
Any kind of falling for that matter! It isn't normal for mankind to throw themselves out of perfectly good planes!

# It's freedom, dude.
You cannot experience less boundaries than freefall.

Even gravity doesn't exist.

# My back garden
practically backs on to this. I could not avoid flying.

# Which airbase has grass runways?

# it's not an airbase.
It's the private airfield at the bottom of my garden!

( was a yankee base over here in world war 2 and was the proposed site for Manchester International airport )

Makes more sense.

# It's supposed to scare the fuck out of you.

# it fucking does, too!
I found out recently we get vertigo cos the human side of our brain says 'ack I'll fall to my death!' while the monkey side goes 'jump jump jump! wheeeee!'

# I like to caress monkey parts.
...and I certainly hope that shows up as my random quote.
