My extreme hobby.

Unread postby jpetersjr » Tue Jul 12, 2022 9:16 pm

Who here has extreme hobbies, or sports they simply love to do.

Mine is simply trunk surfing, have been doing it almost all my life and can't get enough of the sheer thrill of it, to me it's like a roller coaster.





And no, I wouldn't dream of buying a motorcycle, not while I already have a sleek, awesome car. Nothing like surfing on the decklid for some extreme fun.


...Cheers...

Is that even legal? I feel like up here even the most incompetent of police would have a thing or two to say about that.

All I know is it's unlawful. There's really no laws against it, but still, you don't want a cop to find you anyways though. It's mainly just a stunt I do when I want to do the action video for my Youtube channel. Most of the time I don't ride on the decklid, and I don't do it everywhere. Perhaps in the last several months I've really only rode on the decklid once, so yes, very rarely and very seldom do I trunk surf.

It is extremely fun though, as long as you have the equipment to help you do it safely without getting thrown off. What I like about it is it really is quite the daredevil thrill, and interesting fact is that somehow I've never fallen off. As well, my 2004 Monte Carlo makes a great stunt car, the decklid is relatively flat enough so that I'm not sitting on too steep of a surface. And the way the spoiler is it actually prevents me from sliding backwards to slide off the rear. I'm actually butted up against the back window, and the spoiler, which keeps me from sliding.

The older you get, the more it hurts, and the longer time to heal. I have watch your videos. I am sure you are violating at least the seat belt laws within your state. !*don-know!*
