I slalom ski. I wakeboard. I hike and rock climb.
Fighting is very physical and extreme and you're very vulnerable. It's a very mental type of thing.
I've been arrested many times for illegal high wire walking and illegal street performing.
I've been a death match fan since I can remember.
Because it is there [famous explanation for wanting to climb Mount Everest].
I had crashes when I was small and Gumby-like that would have killed me now. I would just fly off jumps and go 40 or 50 meters when I was 6 years old - break skis, smash my goggles and get a bloody nose and go crawl inside for a little while and then come back out and ski more in the afternoon.
I've never seen anything that I didn't want to jump off of.
With what we were doing in ECW, the first thing you had to overcome was the fear of getting hurt.
I'd rather climb Everest than go for a walk in the park.
Suppose I lay down on the pavement and you run over me a few times with my own car...just for old times.
When I'm on planes, I'd talk to people and I'd tell them I compete in the X Games. Some would know what it was, but maybe half didn't. But everyone knows about the Olympics. They're really like the X Games for the world!
The idea of lying on a beach as my main thing just sounds like the worst. It sounds horrible to me. I would go bonkers. I would have to be on serious drugs. I'd be super-duper bored. I like high intensity.
I do enjoy running down a ditch full of mud, firing bullets. It’s the way I am. I love it.
I was always interested in skateboarding, BMX bike riding, flipping, gymnastics. Anything with tumbling, turning, twisting, and extreme sports.
Metal fans have a connection. There is something there; just like the wrestling world, they are die hard about wrestling, and it's that passion that makes you enjoy what you do. That is why I go to metal shows; you watch these dudes on stage just shredding and letting loose. You can't help but love it.
I think because I'm so naturally happy and unaffected and open, people thought I didn't take the jumping seriously. You're up that high, believe me - you take it very seriously.
Faster, Faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.
I was really into motocross. I started racing when I was 10 years old and did very, very well. That was my dream, if anything, more than drumming.
It's really impressive what those like Messner and Walter Bonatti have done - they are a big part of the history of alpinism.
Growing up, I absolutely loved skateboarding and dirt bike riding with my brother and the neighborhood kids.
I shriek when I am climbing at my absolute limit, but never shriek in the warm-up or when trying the moves. No matter how terrible it might sound, it helps me.
I used to take my car and go down to the South Island for five or six days and climb glaciers and jump out of planes and jump off bridges and go white water rafting - a bit of thrill-seeking.
If I died snowboarding, you could honestly tell everybody in the world that Jeremy London died happy.
I spent the night on a sliver of rock high up on the east face of Long's Peak, climbing with Tom Frost, and slept at the icy feet of the Dru, listening to the lightning crack above me and the thunder roll down. I only did it to write about it. I would never go up on the Grotto Wall for fun.
I was always an adrenaline junkie, always competitive, always a speed freak.
