J2Ski

I was just wondering if any other J2Skiers seek thrill from other sports during the off season?
As my next Ski trip is not until 2012 i was considering resurrecting my Skydiving past, which i put on hold when my daughter was born.
I would love to get back into it and maybe progress onto my ultimate ambition to try my hand at Base Jumping.

Other than that i don't really partake of any other sports, apart from riding my bike.

How do you get your off season thrills?

There is an off season :shock: )

I do stuff like this...

Which is very tame when compared to skydiving. I suppose I don't need to get thrills, just being in the mountains is enough. I also spend time on the Med which is extremely peaceful, sunny and warm 8)

There are some lovely pics in that collection Bandit. I wish i lived closer to scenery like that.
Sadly the highest summit around locality is a 60's tower block!

Thanks, :D as you are a professional photographer and I take snaps I feel that's quite a compliment. My fave autumn view, so peaceful and lovely light...

I'm a runner - not much of an adrenaline rush but it does it for me!
