To taste life is to tempt oblivion.

I think this quote goes along with the idea that a life without pain is meaningless.

I think we have to push our bodies to our limits, right to the brink of death.

I know it sounds kinda fubar.

But think about it.

What is more fun:
Scaling a rock wall or sitting on a couch
Flying a small plane or driving a car
Shooting rapids in a kayak or being on a big ass boat
Bombing down a single track trail or playing it safe

Take life by the balls and hang on
