skydiving, wingsuits, BASE jumping, riding my CBR 600RR as much as I can, street luging, freeflying, balloon jumps, dirtbikes, ice riding, snowmobiling, sprint karts, PLFing, scuba diving, snowboarding and sucking at it, skiboarding (snowblading), horseback riding (hunter-jumper, trail, dressage, whatever--just get me on my horses and I'll go), sailing when I can, fencing, trying to get better at surfing, hiking to exit points and out of landing areas, traveling, getting lost a lot, BASE jumping, living, breathing, and generally feeling alive, jumping off and out of crap, extreme-golf, road trips, piano, tattoos, plastic surgery, painting in oils, attending the ballet/opera/performing arts, enjoying art galleries, fine dining, traveling, antiques, science, quantum mechanics (specifically quantum entanglement), psychology, AI. Oh yeah, did I mention I like BASE?
Music
Dance/Techno/Electronic (especially when I drive or ride), Alternative, Classical (Baroque, violin, cello and Solo Piano), Opera, Angry Girl music, Salsa, Tango, or whatever I feel like that day. I really want to learn to Tango. Then after I learn, I will dance to Astor Piazzola's Finale (Tango Apasionado) in the streets of Buenos Aires in the pouring rain, and then in the fog of Paris for the hell of it.
Movies
Boondock Saints, Original Sin, The Notebook, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Princess Bride, Lucky Number Slevin, Whipped, Apocalypse Now (the surfing scene is awesome), The Cell, Army of Darkness, Blazing Saddles, 40 Year Old Virgin, Love Stinks, Midnight Run, Shadow Boxer, 28 Days Later; anything end of the world, doomsday-ish. Especially death-by-virus movies, psychological thrillers, tragic love stories...
Television
Favorite TV show: Dexter; and pretty much any documentaries about skydiving, wingsuits, BASE, street luging, sharks, the ocean, the end of the world, super volcanoes, black holes, etc. on Discovery HD. But, I am more of a movie person anyway. Also SpeedTV
Books
I don't really have time to read conventional print anymore. But a few to mention: Gavin De Becker's The Gift of Fear, Joel Garreau's Radical Evolution and Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking. However, on an airplane that I intend to conventionally exit, you will always find Scientific American, Popular Science and Discover magazines in my carry-on.
Heroes
Anyone who can overcome obstacles and live life without regret. People who have overcome, or who have not overcome, cancer and other terminal illnesses. Those who have faced more pain than I can imagine and choose to remain living and continue to help others. Jacqueline Saburido. Those who give their time and energy to travel and help those less fortunate. Teachers.
Who I'd like to meet: People who have the same interests, who are not trying to get in my pants, and who are not as irritating as I can be when they drink caffeine!

Sounds like an awesome ride you took. I guess I could have read into the fact that you didn't endo on purpose. My spokes are few and far in between right now on my TTR. I wish someone would have told me that it was important to keep those things tight. Haha. I need to fix them. I think my suspension is shot on it also because I took it to the track and jumped it as high as I could. Unfortunately that thing can't catch enough air to clear a 50 ft tabletop so the landing was rough. . . everytime. And the clutch spring isn't keeping the clutch tight anymore so I'm pretty sure I'm just burning it up. I definitely reccomend the YZ450F though. That thing has more power than any reasonable person needs. It takes off faster than the CBR also. Top speed doesn't compare obviously.
Alrighty. Haha, and you shall be receiving a phone call from us when they come in. Man looking at all your pics...YOU ARE SERIOUSLY AN EXTREMIST. NICE!
