Kite Boarding
Also known as kite surfing Is a popular if dangerous sport. It combines surfing with getting blown around while flying a kite. The main problem with it, as far as I can see, is not so much the flying/surfing as it is the starting and stopping. Another place for Darwin-esque culling of the herd to take place.

Judge Parker’s Gallows
Here you see the main attraction at Fort Smith National Park. A recreation of the gallows where Hanging Judge Isaac Parker sent 79 criminals to their death.
And people say kids will get bored at such historical monuments! This makes history come alive! Er, come dead...?

106 Wheelchairs on Ice
There's something very strange about this, but I'm not sure if I'm bothered more by the people enjoying flinging people in wheelchairs on the ice or by making grown men cry because they can't ice skate anymore.Good news!! There is a weekly wheelchair ice-skating Thursdays at 11:00. I don't know if I want to go or not.
