Re: Background

I still sk8 a bit in the summers, but learning to uni has just been too
fun to pick up my sk8 for the last little while. I'm decent at sk8ing
though. I also snowboard a lot in the winter.

I still mountain Bike occasionally, but usually take the Uni instead. I
haven't had a dirt bike in 20+ years, though I hoped on one about ten
years ago and rode a wheelie about 20-30 feet.😄 I bought a couple of
street motorcycles in college, after my Dad and Brother were hit on one
of them by a drunk driver(both were pretty much okay) I decided to give
up riding. I was destroying myself offroad. Like Kenny I fratured a
vertabrae in my neck and broke my leg. It has been so long since I have
touched a skateboard I can't even remember when it was. I can't
remember what I had for lunch either.😄

Since then I have been pretty serious into snow skiing,(started in High
School on church trips) rollerblading(Girl I wanted to date could
rolerblade so I said I could, bought a pair a practiced for a couple of
days before our date) fortunately I had iceskated as kid. I started
Kayaking about 5-6 years ago. I had done a lot of white water canoeing
with my dad as a kid, but only started kayaking as an adult with my
wife.

I jumped out of planes in the Army, and have taken Martial arts most of
my life(started at 8). I took a break after leaving the Army for about
5 years, then went back for about 8 years and am currently not involved
in formal martial arts training. I was teaching 6-9 classes a week, and
just got burned out. I will probably go back when my daughter is old
enough. I have Black Belts in three Martial Arts. Not sure if I will
try something new next time.

So currently the most extreme thing I do is unicycle, occasional Mtn
Biking, run on Power Riser Stilts, Kayak about 2-3 weekends a year and
go 4 wheeling maybe 2 times a year. Right now I am living vicariously
through Lance Armstrong by watching the Tour de France on OLN.😄
