Replying to Alive and prepping?

Just wanted to ask if anyone here is longboarding, doing mountain bike riding, blading (even surfing) .. or any activity leading into winter in order get that buzz you're after.... ok, please keep things civil.

People often complain about not having snow around and being able to ski, but if you're working from a feeling/sensation point-of-view, it's not the end of the world if you can't ski... just do other stuff that feels similar. I've been going to the skate park and just carving it up on some speed-blades.
