I once had an overdue library book.
Jumped out of a plane at 4000ft. Beautiful snowy landscape for miles, best view I've ever seen.
[EDIT] Sorry, 'coolest,' I thought you said 'coldest'!

I have hosted some fantastic parties that have become part of the local mythology.
My nephews think I'm cool for taking them mountainbiking and trekking
I got arrested for streetsurfing
Have to say this was pretty cool. Not particularly hard, but a beautiful, elegant line up an an amazing piece of rock.

Lemon parties eh? ๐
I was part of a collective that put on a series of all-nighters and assorted club nights in Hackney and Brixton in the late 90s, made a profit once which we spunked on taking 3 coaches full of people to a chateau/monastary in Normandy for a three day party, a party that would have made Caligula blush. Thankfully someone wrestled the guy to the ground before he could pour a bottle of poppers into the bus's airconditioning on the way back to La Harve or things could have got really messy.

TJ is a rebel.
Coolest thing I've done is eat & drink my way through the best parts of France for 2 weeks, all expenses paid.
Abseiling down the side of a tower block in full CRW kit with MP5 at the ready, swinging in through a window on the 3rd floor and rescuing 2 'hostages'.
Airsoft rather than 'real life' mind.
Once I did a boom gnarly stunt trick on a bmx and a girl got pregnant just by watching my extremeness to the maxxxx.
Explored an Egyptian tomb using a flaming torch. Indiana Jones style.
I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die
I have been ME all my life.

Marin County, Cali
Played with the band I roadie for during the encore after a sold out show, with an intro from the frontman and a cheer from the crowd.
48 hours of partying all night, riding (of one kind) all day long in the sun with some mates and a couple of people off this forum, some more partying, then riding all night (of a different kind) with someone I managed to pull despite being totally sunburnt and not having had a wink of sleep for more than 36 hours already at that point!
DJing to a crowd of 800 people at a club night I used to run some years ago, and dropping the Dave Clarke mix of Leftfield's Phat Planet to a crowd that literally erupted as it kicked in. Girls were trying to clamber into the DJ booth to kiss me, guys were getting on each others shoulders to shake my hand.
Track day in a racing Caterham aged 17, where I was actually so quick they suggested I might want to give racing a go as after only 20 laps or so I was almost as quick as their teams fastest driver. Sadly of course, 17 year old boy plus quite a lot of talent, but no money and no sponsor, equals no racing driving career!
Cruising through town with my old housemate in his old 1977 Ferrari 308GTB that he'd restored himself from a wreck.
Gunning the throttle to the stop all the way up through the gears on my Ducati 748SP until I ran out of revs in top (approx 160mph for anyone interested)...
To name but a few...
I'm hoping that I'll be able to add one more to that list too in a few months, as I shall be hitting the big 30 this summer, and I intend for it to be one big long party as there ain't no way I'm growing old gracefully... ๐
Loads of stuff, and I'm not done yet
Ski dived from 15k feet, a 250m bungy jump, heli biked in the Remarkables in NZ, slept with 3 different girls in 3 days (2 in the same 24 hours), watched planes land from under the runway at Rarotonga, Cook Islands, got a job in recruitment.
The last one is obviously the highlight!
Oh. When I saw the title I was going to come on and say "Years ago, I presented a roadshow of events to Council workers on the (then) new European Union consolidated public procurement directives. It went really well!". But having read the other posts, I think I will just keep quiet.
slept with 3 different girls in 3 days (2 in the same 24 hours)
Wow you must be so proud.
I've done nothing much that's very cool - Megavalanche is about the coolest thing I can think of.
I did have an all expenses paid trip to Romania to DJ at a couple of festivals a few years ago.
In the spirit of the thing,
Put 200 rounds through an M60 machine gun
Was pictured at a 1988 rave in the News of the world under the headline "spaced out" (I was).
110 foot scuba dive off Negril Jamacia
Slept with the model girlfriend of a very well known celeb whilst he was carcassed downstairs
Saw Fred Wesley at the Jazz Cafe
Swam with Turtles and dolphins
Stuartie_C - where is that? Looks nice.
i died
Fell 120 feet out of the tallest tree in the forest, lived, and played a gig on crutches the next night*.
*Had to administer some, ahem, self-medication.
Id rather be 'dead' than 'cool'
First up, created life in the shape of Sam, who's now 9 months old and ace.
Flown at 50 foot over the roofs of Baghdad in a Blackhawk (a few times)
Driven Jimmy Greeves, Tommy Dorcherty, Tony Hadley and 5 dancing girls at high speed through a riot in Pristina city centre (no photos, I was busy).
Backflipped off Sadam Hussein's diving board.
posted on this thread.
Helming a 50ft Sunseeker into Poole harbour
Sailing on a 100ft racing yacht around the Whitsunday Islands
Driving a Land Cruiser on the beach on Fraser Island
Hmm nothing mental just yet... Went to Glastonbury four years in a row.
However i'm doing an AFF level one sky dive on Sat. EAK!
Everything I do is cool. Honest
Got a lift off the bloke who played Danny Kendall in Grange Hill.
I was going to suggest skiing from almost the top of La Grande Motte above Tignes - a 200m climb above the top of the lift - but then realised that on the same theme, doing nicely carved linked teles right underneath one of the main chairlifts in La Plagne was probably actually a lot cooler ๐
Alternatively, canoeing with the dolphins in Milford Sound, or abseiling off the jib of a crane in Bristol docks.
Crossing the finish line in a major adventure race as part of the first team is also extremely cool!
Did a few Bob Skeleton runs down the Lilliehammer Olympic track... that was pretty cool in more ways than one;0)
Created, with more than a little help from the wife, our son and being there in theatre as he was born by emergency c-section after 40 hours in labour last May.
None of the track days (including the Ring), bike rides, holidays, hikes, sailing I've done comes even remotely close to that experience. Not that those haven't been cool or cold but he's absolutely number 1. It's also why I now have a fatter belly and many of my bikes haven't left the garage in a while. ๐
Windsurfed through an evening cloudburst where the low sun lit up the backsplash from the rain so it looked like I was surfing through knee deep glitter.
A week touring Japan by bike.
Crossing the Mayhem finish line at 23H 59M and 25seconds to get my mate out on a final lap and being mistaken for an Orange factory rider by the commentator.
