Good question Carlos and a nice change from counter posting for all of us
Wow, Cactus, Skydiving off Rollercoasters sounds extreme, isn't that called Base Jumping?.
I read a helluva lot and go to quite a lot of talks by academics on psychology, perception and the paranormal - one of the many advantages of living near Edinburgh. We're going to a seance held by Prof Richard Wiseman in The Festival Theatre soon - which is nice
I also do a lot of photography, videography, hillwalking and have started backpacking again after a 25 year break. I also run a little which I want to increase to try to emulate my marathon running teens and twenties. I also occasionally look into allegedly haunted locations and 'investigate' local ufo sightings as well as playing console games (ps3 & 360). Music - obviously, listening and composing some stuff in Garageband.
What's your poison Carlos?.

An origial idea here...
My main interests are cycling, cycle mechanics and power kiting.
Love the 6m flexifoil and my 4m cirus.
All the rest of the boring normal stuff too(music ect) with my side hobby of indulging in UFO reaserch that includes me reading things, stargazing and of course, forums and computing. |

Carlos
I like KIng and Herbert as well. I'm also a keen mountain biker
All I'm missing now is the irrational belief in space aliens

LOL I like your sense of humour Cactus, you're a bit of a cock but good humoured and a decent fellow.
I never got any kickings at school because I had the sense to be friends with the hard lads.
