Hmmmm how did i get started? Well it all happened when i was born my family lived about 15 minutes from Busch Gardens so we obviously bought season passes. Every weeked we would go there but
I was only 1 and then we kept going there as the years went on. So when i was 4 i was finally tall enough for Big Bad Wolf. I really wanted to go on it just because and i wasent afraid or anything. I got on. rode it. got off it. and loved it. So that was my first big thing. My cousin was big into rollercoasters (i dont know how he started) so i started liking them and learning about them and stuff so when i was like 5 and 6 i knew a whole lot about rollercoasters and i just amazed people cause i was so young. Also we visited Paramounts Kings Dominion and the only thing i was tall enough for was like Scooby Doo's Ghoster Coaster. So then we moved to maryland. Then rct came out my sister got it one year and it was my favorite game and i would watch her play it all day and sometimes i got to play [:)] Then we visited herhsey one year and i went on my first looping coaster Sooper Dooper Looper and I really liked that. So then days when i was bored i would draw coasters theme them and stuff. By the time i was old enough to ride bigger ones like Great Bear and what not i was a complete fanatic knew basiclly everything about coasters [;)]Yea then i bought ultimate ride and thuoght it was like the best thing ever. And then bought hyper rails then rct3. And last october i recently bought no limits and fell in love with it. But i joined this site about a year before i ever got no limits and thats when i really knew a WHOLE lot bout coasters. So yea i got no limits and i liked it so yea. But yea i've been on alot of coasters to jus didnt feel like listing them so yea thats how i got started [^]

one day about 2 years ago i was searching rcdb, looking at poop. which is actually funny that i was on rcdb cause my science teacher in 8th grade told me about it. so then that summer i was browsing around on it. and couldnt find a pic of this certain coaster, i think it was raptor but im not sure. so i got on google, and somehow i got to the dev site. and i was like "Holy crap this is awesome" and then i bagged my mom if i could get it and she was like okay, then i got it. and i was ADDICTED to it since vars of last summer, then i took a break, got addicted periodically every so often, and its been that way ever since.

When I got tall enough my dad took me on The Grand National at BPB as a 'rite of passage' and I remember it being absolutely terrifying. I was probably 7 or something and too small to see out of the cars! It really shook me up.
Later in life I conquered The Ultimate on a school trip when I was around 9 and then Nemesis was my first looper and god only knows how I pushed myself to go on that!!! I got so fascinated by rides then I started trawling the internet and joined the RCCGB when I was 11, and then also the European Coaster Club shortly after, which is the one I stayed with. Im a proper enthusiast me.

my story is simple. went on the grand national @ bpb when i was 5 and got my mum told off because i was to short and the only realised it as we got off. carnt remember much but thinking about the felling of the speed and the airtime after that untill i went to alton towers on nemesis the first day of opening, from there on books, videos, memrobilia, internet and parts of coasters apper all over my house and in a storage garage i rent out for one of my 2 cars.

Let's recap. I mentioned having problems shooting a moving target (Real: on Wed and Sunday I know where you are). Then, Hyyyper recommended I play more FPS for practice, to which he has no experience in doing himself. Is it me, or does his stupidity transcend beyond all forms of reason??

lol, i does make little sense, but although i hate FPS (first person shooters, not frames per second [;)]) i DO know that a lot of these games have spining involved. And just happen to play some of those at friends, and overhear them talking about games, and i read across it on game sites
