mountian biking - loads of woods and and stuff to go flying around down here on one

mountin boarding - quite a few step hills also go up dartmoor on them ocasionly on the tours but it can be a killer having to walk back up with the board

Snowboarding is always a laugh. Especcially as those who can surf find it twice as easy as anyone else (barring maybe skaters).

Ultimate Frisbees my main thing though, top fun. And with the beach championships in Portugal this yeay I can combine my two favourite sporty things into one manic week, it's gonna be great.

I play basketball, and a little (American) football. I just started tennis and road-biking. I play a few rounds of golf every now and then. But there's nothin' like surfing. :)
