Spending a week in the hospital gets you thinking about these things.
I am receiving care from a large team of the best doctors in the province (Socialised healthcare FTW). They feel confident that they can return me to near perfect health.
So when i get out i am not going to waste any more time. I am going to start crossing off the items that are physically demanding. I now know how quickly a person can go from peak condition, to near death. I'm not going to allow myself to miss any more opportunities when i get my second chance.
But I'd like to hear about your list. I may steal some of your ideas if they sound good.
What I've got so far:
1: no limitation, unified rules MMA match against someone i can not beat.
2; drive a dual sport motorcycle north untill the roads end, then keep going for a few more days, and camp.
3: dip my tire in the Pacific ocean, then drive east until i can dip it in the Atlantic.
4: visit Europe. Not the tourist areas though, but travel the small towns and see the Euros in their natural habitats.
5-10: all non-physical so they can wait a bit.
Skydiving would be fun.
But it's not a big draw for me. Not sure it would be worth the expense and effort. I think what people like about it is a combination of confronting the height and enjoying the speed/drop.
But i have experienced those in other ways often, so it doesn't seem to appeal to me the same way it does for others.
I have spent a lot of time working at extreme heights. And i imagine that the rush of flying through the air may be comparable to hitting the redline on my Ducati, only slower :)
That said, if someone else set it up and paid for it, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
I also prefer skis to a snowboard. The helicopter part would be cool, but expensive. Skiing the BC Rockies it something I've done, just minus the helicopter.
Good ideas though, and i suggest you get to them sooner rather than later. You never know when you could suddenly lose the ability to.
