I&#8217;m rather content these days at a more sedate pace.    On a good day I can muster an adrenaline rush just if my truck starts in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>But Dirk likes to go fast&#8230; on skates.  Which makes him <s>insane<\/s> a daredevil.  In his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.metro.co.uk\/weird\/article.html?Man_rides_rollercoaster_on_rollerskates&amp;in_article_id=706551&amp;in_page_id=2\">latest stunt<\/a>, he rode a roller-coaster on specially made skates.  Afterward, he said, &#8220;It was a lot of fun.&#8221;  That may strike you as a tad understated, but this is a man who previously raced an Astin Martin by putting skates on his feet and a jet engine on his back.  (Click through the link for a video of that.)  So you can see that the roller coaster gig is probably pretty tame for him.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Brought to you by Tim&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/\">-Read the whole blog here-<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Or at least Dirk Auer does.
