i remember a few years ago before i tore my knee apart, i threw a toxic tail 540 over a 70 footer at breckenridge ....stomped it perfect....that was the best feeling i've ever had in my life. That was the coolest thing I've ever done.

i'd probably have to go with cave (scuba) diving.  kind of a freaky thought knowing that if something goes wrong, you can't just swim to the surface.

Guiding for the first time;
you know everyone depends on your knowledge and experience and you're not really sure you've done it right/good and then when you return safely from a mountain tour, you get overloaded with compliments; ppl saying thanks for the best day of their life!
No money can buy that feeling; knowing you've done something good for ppl that they'll probably remember for the rest of their life....

volunteered in bolivia for 3 months and did some traveling, including climbing cerro tunari, a mountain thats over 16,000 feet in elevation.

Possibly hiking 53.5 miles of the AT straight through the night without stopping for more than 30 mins at a time. Started at 3 pm on a friday and ended at about 530 pm the next day. Its a tradition through my schools outing club and its from hanover, NH to mount moosilauke 50 miles to the north on the appalachian trail
