Bomb squad technician

If I didn't have goals, or people that I love and love me in my life. I would totally become a bomb squad  technician. Those are some brave people. They have to go up to a bomb that can explode and kill them at any second. They have to try to defuse it and hope they cut the right wire, and it doesn't explode in their faces. They have to do all that while their heart is beating 100 miles per hour. Oh yeah and they have to stay as calm and relaxed as a fat lazy cat. Sounds like a job to die for.

Near death experiences

Would you like to experience a near death experience in you life time? Most deaths in the U.S happen in a car. Car accidents kill over 1000 people each year. One day my friend and I went to a little get together up in a house that was located up in the mountains. It was a long ride up a narrow road. We had a good time there, but it was getting late. We were lucky enough to get a ride back home from a friend. On the way back the driver was going pretty fast, and we told her to slow down there was no reason to go fast. She didn't listen. She took a turn way to fast, before we knew it we where off the road. We were going straight for a field of trees about 60 mph. The driver panicked, and did the worst thing possible. She let go of the steering wheel and covered her eyes. Everything happen so fast, yet to me it felt like I was watching a movie and everything was going in slow motion. I literally thought I was going to die. I was speechless, and could hear my friend next to me screaming. Lucky for us the person in the passenger seat was alert and turned the steering wheel just in time. I thank that guy for saving my life. I look at that experience as the craziest roller coaster ride of my life.       

bull running

If I could go anywhere in the world I would go to Spain. They have good food, good looking ladies, and bulls. What more can you ask for?

Mountian biking

One of my friends invited me to go mountain biking one day. I did not have a mountain bike, and have never gone mountain biking in my life. It sounded fun though, so I got my BMX bike and hit the mountain with my friends. It was really hot. We had to ride all the way to the top of the mountain. That was the worst experience ever! My legs felt like jelly, and I was so tired I couldn't even breath. I wanted to just drop down and die. We finally made it to the top, and we were ready to go down. The ride down was really refreshing the air in my head felt so good. As I got more speed the more fun I had. I finally was going down full speed, and I realize I was going to die. I was pressing the breaks put I was just sliding down full speed. I knew I was going to fall. I decided to jump off my bike, because a turn was coming up. I was fine just a few scrapes. My bike went down into the trees and bushes. After that day I got a new bike.

Snowbaording


I started snowboard when I was 16 years old, so you can say I started pretty old. When I go to the mountain I see little kids that are around four years old, and think "man I wish I started that young". This year I started teaching my little brother how to snowboard, and he got the hang of it he is a decent snowboarder. The only thing he is missing is balls. When I tell him to follow me through the tree trial or tell him to get some air from a jump, he "falls" on purpose. Its ok he will get more courage when he gets more experience and older. Doing things your not sure if you can accomplish is what makes snowboarding fun and fulfilling.

Bears!

One day when I was about 9 years old my mom took my little brother and I on a walk. We went to a bike trial. It was a long walk that led to a park. It was a nice walk I was on my scooter, and my brother was on his bike, my mom was just walking. Then out of nowhere a huge brown bear came out. That was the first time I saw a bear. I was not to scared I think I was to young to be scared. Then I saw how scared my mom was, and that scared me a lot. I read somewhere a mama bear will do anything to keep their babies safe. At the time my mom was the mama bear and she was ready to fight that bear if she had to. I have seen my mom mad and she could do damage. Lucky for the bear we just walked back and he didn't follow us.

wingsuit



This video is unbelievable the opening was only about 100 feet. This guy has the skills and balls to jump from a helicopter and fly through the air and risk his life and go through the opening. This was in El Mort Serrat, Spain. The guy in the suit, Alexander Polli was going 155mph and still had the great accuracy to go perfectly through the opening.

cold jump






           This was last year around the end of May. My friends and I thought the water was warm enough for us to get in. When we got there we tested the water to see if the water was freezing, and it was. We drove an hour to get to this place and we decided we had to jump and make the trip worth the drive. I was the first to jump, it took me a while to get the the nerves to jump. When I hit the water I felt like I couldn't breathe, because the water was so cold, I went down deep, when I finally reached the top I swam to the edge, and it was all good from there.

      "I always had a dream of flying, skydiving is the cheapest way to go"

Two of my favorite things space and a burst of energy from a great fall. A few months ago my homeboy Felix Baumgartner jumped from the edge of space and broke the speed of sound.

wave riding in the river


One day me and my friends went to a water park in the river that is meant for kayaking/surfing. We went there just to check it out maybe even go inside the water. We saw some little kids they were probably like 13 or 14 and they had a few boogie boards and they where riding the wave like nothing. It look really fun, but we didn't have a board to ride with. One of my friends ended up stealing one of their boards. I did not approve of this and had nothing to do with it. Next day we went there again and tried riding the wave. It was harder then it looked. We spend all day trying and trying but the river just took us away. We couldnt even stay there for a second. Then we finally found out it was really simple to get into the wave. You just had to smoothly go with the river flow and lift the top up.

What do you want to do before you die?


                                      


       When people are asked "what do you want to do before you die?" most people say I want to go skydiving. Yeah skydiving seems like something that will really get your adrenaline going. I do want to do that before I die but it is not in the top of my list. What do I want to do before I die? I want to surf on a big wave. This came to me when I had a dream of me surfing except I was on a snowboard.. So I looked at some surf videos and I was amazed. I know it will take years of practice to be able to do this, but if I was given the chance to do it I wouldn't hesitate to give it a try. The feeling of riding in the water on a board with a HUGE wave right behind you that could probably kill you would be a fun time. I think. Looking back after escaping the wave and seeing a flat calm ocean would be the greats feeling of relief. Yet my heart would still be pounding.. Unlike many people I'm not really scared of spiders, but sharks scare the hell out of me. You can say I have a shark phobia. I would love to swim with sharks though but that's a different story.

Abecedarian Poem

                                                                             Where I live

All around me I see adventure
Blue skies at day bright stars at night 
Cold during the winter hot during summer
Diving from the cliff into the cold view
Extreme sports is what me and my friends do
Floating down the river with a drink in hand
Growing up here made me who I am
High points is what we seek and live for
I feel so good when I’m high up, I want more
Jumping from the top feeling the big rush
Kayaking is what I have learned to love
Lakes under the sun relaxing to the heat
Mountains everywhere there's so much to explore
Nature stands out, better than the indoors
Opening my eyes and seeing the oh so
Perfect view that is all around me
Quitting all bad habits because the adventure makes me high
Raft down the river taking in the beauty
Snowboarding down feeling oh so alive
Tress in my view yet I don't slow down
Untamed because the urge is to much
Vasking in the view from the high tops
Where you can see the world you live in
You only live once so I live without fears
X rays from the sun above hit like spears
Zero fear zero regrets living here
