Good survey,

I don't know why a few people voted it bad, I gave you a good vote.

I wanna go horse-riding!! Damn bump.
I've done a few of the others and of those I haven't, would most like to bungee jump.

What's spelunking?

Canoeing (but only on a tiny artificial pond). Hiking. Rock climbing (with school when I was about 8). Horse back riding (once, for all of about 100m in a park when I was 5 or 6 - I was too scared to ride back again and had to walk instead).

Many of the above. It would be easier to list the ones I haven't done. I am an adventure junkie. There are a few I still hope to do like a Multi-sport in Costa Rica and a few I don't such as Race Car Driving and Bungee Jumping. I prefer the controlled sports. I am not able to Scuba because I have bad ears. Oh well there are still many more!

Multi-sport is doing about five of these things. They are common in the Amazon and might include white water rafting, a tree top tour, climbing, repelling, canoeing and many other similar endurance sports. Spelunking is like climbing except with a light on your head and going down into caves and climbing through tight spaces.

Thank you. They probably don't like outdoor sports is my best guess. You seem like an outdoor junkie as well, so I thought you might like it. Especially the horseback riding. I haven't ridden in years, however I have been trained to ride English style and bareback. I was once kicked off of my horse bare back. Oh well it was still fun. I'm sure Western isn't much different, just less structured with a bigger horse.

None of the above. The only one remotely interesting to me would be to drive a race car.

I ride bareback a lot it just depends on if I feel like getting the saddle out and if I'm in a hurry or not. If some people show up and want me to go riding with them and one of my horses is up at the house then I'll just put a halter and some reins on and jump on and go. When I ride though I ride, there ain't no putting ass around I like to get up and go. I have a lot of good hills on my property too. I'll also ride threw the creek and threw the ponds. All my horses love the water and like to swim. I exersize them in water a lot too, for the long rides I take a lot.

Oh and if you haven't been on a real cutting horse and worked cattle you haven't had a work out. My cutting horse does all the work but you better be hanging on.

No I haven't. I guess I need to go to a local stable and get back into it. I have been thinking about it for a while (along with my many other hobbies).

scuba with old bf (loved it, but couldn't afford), very active in SCCA, father was a race steward and I worked communications out on the turns (also did autocross and rallyes) I learned to drive on my MG-A... love being on a sailboat (lived on my 1941 ChrisCraft 36' in 2001-2004 it was diesel) I have a trophy in archery for First Ladies in my league, did fencing for 3-4 years, and was on a pool tavern league. Most of my sports are solo, but being out in the woods is best with a friend. 3rd to 8th grade, lived in Walla Walla and could go horseback riding all the time. Not so active at 59, sitting at my cpu is sport enough.
