    Wakeboarding, cross country mountain biking.

    Kind of sucks being in Texas were so damn flat lol. I would love to learn to rock climb and go do some DH mountian biking.

    When I lived in North Carolina I did alot of white water kayaking and surfing.

    I'm in SETX pretty much on the ocean lol. I haven't really done anything but get into a fight with some guy in 10th grade that got my Adrenaline pumping. Other then that not much really to do around here, I'd like to go sky diving, that might be fun.

    That indoor climbing gym looks pretty cool. Kind of pricey at $75/mo

    After looking at it some more pre paying for 10 visits including renting all the gear is $180, thats not bad $18 a visit. I might be checking this out soon.

    my buddy is real big in rock climbing... i'll ask him where he goes
  • I wouldn't even know where to begin Wake Boarding, they pretty cool with beginners there?
  • I've seen a picture of a huge rock climbing board right next to a swimming pool, looked really cool. Have no idea where it was at though.

    Let me know! I had a buddy that was supposed to teach me once we got back to Germany (Were deployed in Afghanistan) back in 07 but when we got back all his stuff had been stolen. Was like 3 grand in climbing gear and 5 grand in mountain bikes. I got shipped off to another unit before he ever got his gear replaced.

    Some dock hands are better than others but yea they will get you up as long as you listen to them and don't give up. Denver is hands down the best for 1st timers and he is usually there. He is the older hippy dude.
  • Right on, thanks man. I will have to check that place out.

    Austin has some great caves for climbing, lots of hike/bike trails and wakeboarding on several area lakes is an option. And I can hook you up on a rental or a purchase ;)
