What is your number one attainable thing to do before you die? Keep it clean, a night out with Keira Knightly, some coke and hookers is appealing, but ultimately isn't going to happen.

Mine is Skeleton Bobsleigh.




So, where can I try this, any suggestions? Has anyone else done it?

Experiences and advice please. smile

Cresta Run. I've always been to St Mortiz just too late in the season (it finsishes in mid-Feb) and felt a blend of relief and disappointment.

Always wanted to skydive.

Diving in Australia would be fantastic too.

Most of all though, I want to punch Richard Hammond.

Cage Dive with Great Whites, and free dive with an adult Whaleshark.

I'd quite like to have gone supersonic as well, but I can't see that being all that likely at the moment.

PH related would be to crack 200mph on both a bike and in a car. It's probably getting more realistic as capable machinery becomes a bit easier to find/buy. Currently at 130 and 148 respectively so still some way to go!

Non PH related would be to build my own house. You said to keep it realistic, otherwise I would have said simply to fk the cheerleader from Heroes.

Well, it is called things to do before you die. It would just be that the dying part would be rather quickly following the "doing" part (if you'll excuse the phrasing) when the wife found out...

MIght be a 'boring' one in comparison, but I want to be in a film.

I don't want to be an actor, but the third bloke from the left running out of the way of Bruce Willis' car in Die Hard Eleven, or the waiter that brings a bill to the table in some Quentin Tarantino flick would be fine.

This.

Always been a dream of mine, always.

Sadly however, being stifled by nerves and an horrendous lack of self confidence ensures it will probably never happen.

So I'm jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft in July instead.

Do a trackday at Spa Francochamps in the Sagaris. Preferably before the safety monkeys finally neuter Eau Rouge. And ideally before trackday rubber like the Toyo R888 is banned.

I did it one evening in some ski resort, my brothers told me I was going toboganing................ never been so scared as I was stood at the top, I did actually cry but NO WAY were my brothers going to know they had got the better of their little sister! it was a proper bobsleigh ie., multi occupancy cart and I was in the front as my legs wouldn't hold me upright to do the push off, it was fantastic, very very fast and at times I swear we were at a 90 degree angle, was over way too quickly.

To do before I die............. feal real, total, peace

cool

Things I would like to do, that have not been mentioned

Have an organized fight, not talking UFC heavy weight bout or anything like thaat but in a ring, ref, legit few rounds. Just to try it.

Dive with a Blue Whale family single pod anything, That would be the end of my diving days as I cant imagine much more impressive sight than that.

oh before I do that and retire from diving I would love to Dive the Bikini Atol. where they sunk the pacific fleet testing the A bomb, that would be something special.

Become very good at any one thing, what ever it is but you be considered great at something would be brilliant.
