20 things to do before I'm 30?
Discussion
.....not the crappy new TV program but a request to liven up the next 3 months of my life 
So in a 'challange mungo' styleee, 20 things to do before my 30th in May, nothing to seedy as racegirl is still whinging about Saturday nights antics, and nothing like going and living with natives in some 3rd world country as my boss may not approve.
Hopefully I may have already achieved some of the sugestions making me feel a bit less like the 1st 30 years have been a bit uneventfull so come lets have them

Base Jump, search the net for it, it's such a must, find a big cliff, run towards the edge and jump off.
Gliding.......what an experience.
Go round expensive car dealers and see how many test drives you can get in a day in exotica.
Roll a Robin Reliant.
this is near the top of my list.

erm.. it's illegal in the UK as far as i know. Still good fun though, my gilfriend does it quite a bit and says it's fantastic.
To add to Graham.J's descrption, a parachute is part of the activity.
I'm guessing to base jump a good knowledge of 'normal' sky diving is a good starting point so that would have to be 1st and there is a school quite locally 
Done the jet sking thing a friend of a friend is high up in the UK ratings and his ski is an animal.
Could well be putting my life in the hands of a french pikey at Le Mans they always have some sort of human catapult (ok its a month late but so what)
Done the small private plane flying thing which is very close to gliding

i wasnt scared dear 
Just found it on the all answering google........
'Halo Jump' is a parachute jump. It is done at high altitudes above an enemy's radar; the parachutist free falls and opens the chute under the enemy's radar - sometimes falling as far as two miles in free fall. Room for mistakes is nonexistent and its one of the most dangerous jumps to do. It almost always takes the enemy by surprise.

HALO - High Altitude, Low Oxygen... ooh, risky. You open the parachute at about 200ft from the group or something stupid.. and reach speeds of 200mph+ on descent... often done into water... most people drown on that, as they don't cut themselves free of the parachute in time. Other big risk is when opening the parachute, since the force can throw your neck back with such force, that you crack your skull on the oxygen tank on your back...
hmmm... think I'll pass.
Not that I am qualified to comment (I can barely remember 50, nevermind 30) but howabout (in no particular order, but No. 2 strongly recommended):
Fly a glider - glorious freedom, not desperately pricey, bit safer than HALO, the sooner you start the longer you can enjoy it
Visit Brazil - world's most stunning women, very 'available' (or so I hear
)
Get above the canopy in a rainforest - overwhelming sense of the power and majesty of nature, best done in a hot air balloon
Visit Cuba and go to the cigar growers ball - Castro puts in an appearance, finest cigars and rum in the world and comments re. Brazil also apply (I hope my wife is not reading this 
all in my past dear
