I once got to the top for a non-tech related post when I shared my story about skateboarding 86km from Sydney to Wollongong. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5530044

Still amazed it was well received here and grateful for all the friendly and encouraging comments

I remember reading this back in the day. Reading it all over again today. Still madness!
