There are some things we will never do - either because of fear, skill or money. However, we can still live vicariously thanks to the magic of cameras and You Tube.
Horseback Riding
I've ridden horses before and they are such fun animals. My rides were leisurely strolls through a forest compared to cross country races that are fast, wild and generally dangerous, watch what happens at 3:56.
Skate boards
Another kind of speed -and far more dangerous- is long board downhill. These two guys are top pros. Don't try this at home kids! Cue up Wagner's "The Ride of The Valkyries" for extra excitement.
Roller coasters
I like the idea of roller coasters but with my fear of heights, inability to scream and being easily over stimulated, nope. I did ride this one-twice. Should I work up the courage I'll try the Lightening Rod at Dollywood.
Jet planes
This is why military pilots are officially bad ass. Flying an F-16 looks like fun and those who have done so, swear it's awesome. I'll watch from ground level without barfing, passing out, or being scared shitless.
I salute those brave enough to overcome their fears, take a leap and seek out adventure. And continue to bring back footage for us timid folks please.
