I had the same thing, but with mountainbike riding...not moving town. I was watching a mountainbike comp on t.v, and I had such an overpowering physical response to it...excitement coursed through my whole body and I just knew it was for me...even though I detest most sports, and always have.
I tried it a few years ago in Whistler mountain B.C Canada, and loved it so much...I even did it on my own and left my brother behind to tend to his flat tyre halfway up the mountain...I couldn't wait for him...I just went down and survived it...it was AWESOME:
