deathboarding isn't so bad. i didn't want to do it at first 'cause the idea is stupid: you're strapped to a board with no way out flying down a hill. it's fun though. i think surfing is worse (i'm assuming you know about that being from the malibu area). you're foot is strapped to a board that can drag you underwater. drowning...not the way i want to go. i prefer smashing into a tree and going quickly.
