Camel...? Passed up the opportunity (in Morocco) because I was too beat from an overnight ride in a bus. I had been up for like 36 hours.
ATV/quad...? Probably the age of 10. Never liked the way they steered at first, until I eventually transitioned from dirt bikes to ATVs at the age of 14...
Three-wheeler (motorized)? ~14. Rode a friend's. Did not like the awkward balance.
Dirt bike (NOT motorcycle)...? My dad got me one when I was 9 years old, an 80cc model, in part to improve my lacking coordination.
Motorcycle (street legal)...? ~16. Rode an 1980's vintage 250cc down the road and back.
Snowmobile...? Around 7 or 8. I have a snowmobile safety endorsement to my driver's license, which I obtained around the age of 14 or 15 (before I had my driver's license), but have never really rode since as I do not like the way snowmobiles steer.
Jet ski...? Never, surprisingly for a guy who grew up in MN.
Wakeboard...? Never.
Amphibious vehicle...? Never.
Parasail...? Never.
Glider...? Never.
Iron bull (the kind you find in a bar)...? Never.
On top of a bus or motorhome...? I've gone on top of our motorhome (hey, there was a ladder), but only when it was fixed. Have never rode on the top of a bus.
Pontoon boat? Earliest I can remember was at the age of 5, at a nearby campground on a lake. First time actually driving one was 16.
Donkey...? Not yet.
Horse...? Summer of 1977, I think.
Camel...? Not yet.
ATV/quad...? Never.
Three-wheeler (motorized)? Never.
Dirt bike (NOT motorcycle)...? Never.
Motorcycle (street legal)...? Fall of 1976.
Snowmobile...? Have only been on a snowmobile twice; once when I was a young kid (mid-60s) and once around 1977.
Jet ski...? Not yet.
Wakeboard...? I have a wakeboard game on my Wii system. Does that count?
Amphibious vehicle...? Summer of 1976.
Parasail...? Not yet.
Glider...? Not yet.
Iron bull (the kind you find in a bar)...? Never.
On top of a bus or motorhome...? Never.
Pontoon boat? I don't recall; sometime when I was a little kid; early 60s.
Zipline? Not yet.
Sandboard? Did this a lot in the early to mid 60s, on the sand dunes in Indiana at the south shore of Lake Michigan. We'd surf down those dunes at breakneck speed, but always had a soft landing at the end because of the sand. Great memories!
