"I
feel most alive as I come over the lip of a big drop.
Time seems to slow to a crawl. The mind becomes calm and
focused on the task at hand. Everything in life is forgotten
except the objective of running a clean line. Then in
an instant everything is happening: gravity, acceleration,
and water. But just as quickly as it began it is over
and the exhilaration of realizing the accomplishment takes
over."
