    These;

    Irrational fear I know, but they know where I live, I just know it!

    The sounds of a deer screaming (or something) when I’m out on a night ride along way from anywhere, I agree with the flat water thing also high structures like standing under a pylon looking up, also hieghts. While I’m at it intolerance, prejudice, war, anger, dying, cancer, my lad crossing the road.

    Appart from the above I’m fearless………..

    only thing I can think of worse than being in that Kayak, would be if a loved one was in it.

    I’m another one of the folk scared of heights. I get the same urges to jump or push folk off. Trouble is I love climbing mountains.

    On a bike its raised wooden stuff. It might be 3 foot wide and 1 foot high but it scares the bejaysus out of me – I guess the same as heights.

    The only reason raised wooden stuff scares me is because usually it’s slippery as ice and it has sharp edges 😀

    Small suspension bridges over big chasms, especially with people who know of my fear who make them bounce.

    The dentist. Suffering from that gagging thing doesn’t help.

    On the bike, really steep droppy off stuff (‘cos Me don’t do big air)

    Some dogs- having been bitten 3 times now.

    mcmoonter – hows about this…(slovenia)

    You could easily fall over those ropes even when walking, on the bike it’s nerve wracking for sure!

    I can say that having swum with basking sharks that were ~25ft+ long in the sea off the Devon coast, even though you KNOW they wont bite you still find it slightly concerning when they swim AT your head and brush past. Awesome creatures, amazing feeling and amazing priviledge though.

    Not great at heights….
    Not great on steep, technical downwards facing bike stuff/jumps and all that malarky
    Not great with wasps – just flail my arms around and run in circles.

    Snowboarding: steeps that you can’t see the bottom of.
    Kiteboarding: getting wrapped up in my lines and kitelooped in high winds.
    Kayaking: getting tangled in a downed tree while submersed.
    Climbing: useing a handhold that has a rattlesnake in it.
    Biking: idiots in cars.
    Worst of all of these: not doing any of these because of fear!

    Avocado,
    Nice shirt!, I’m too old to attempt to be fashionable, what sets me appart in my circles is helmet, elbow and knee pads, butt pads, and lots of bandaids and bruises, but no worries, its all part of the price you pay to play!

    I’ve been riding rollercoasters for work this week, which was interesting, as i’d never ridden a big coaster before and was a bit scared of them, but it turns out they aren’t scary at all, or at least the actual ride bit isn’t. The lifts are sometimes a little scary – particularly the one on saw at thorpe park which is vertical, and at the top the track goes 110 degrees over to point downwards, meaning that when you go over the top, you can’t see the track at all.

    The actual whooshing around bit doesn’t really seem scary at all – i don’t seem to get that stomach going up feeling that i remember from being a kid on fairground rides. You get some great views from them too, which is an aspect i’d not considered before.

    Personally, i’ve done way more scary things on bikes & unicycles off road, i was pretty suprised at just how unscary rollercoasters are.

    t.k.i.d. i get that with death. Just can’t get my head around the concept of “the end” I know there is nothing else after(imo). Normally you can think “what’s after?” but…nothing. I just try not to think about it, have a cup of tea and a lie down and it seems alright. With a bit of luck its a long way off.
