B: I don’t really think I’m ready to throw myself down a river full of jagged rocks in a rubber boat or go up in the air in a wicker basket held up by an oversize balloon. What else do you have?

A: Well, in that case, we can take you hang gliding with one of our experienced instructors. It’s the closest you can get to flying.

B: What? You mean strap myself to a flimsy kite? No,thank you! Next!

A: Mmm. OK. Well, why don’t you tell me a little bit more about what you would like? We have everything from mountain biking, to rock climbing to street luge.
