The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

How about skeleton for a serious rush. 77mph head-first down an ice track. That's got to be better than dope.

haha, good stuff. I can remember a time sledding when I was really little I was sleeding in a park by my house. All the good steep hills they had had buildings at the bottom. So you would have to bail out at the last minute. So the last time I went, I didn't bail out. My sister said soemthing and I got distracted, and I saw the wall coming at me. I wasn't going fast, so I hit the wall and stopped, but my head didn't. It felt like I just bumped it but my sister started screaming at me to put my head in the snow. Of course, I didn't. I had no idea I was bleeding till I obeyed my sister's demands so she would shut up. So ater that it kinda sucked.
