Meine derzeit eingeschränkte Kreativität lässt mich nur auf "Up for it" oder "up for all sorts of fun" kommen, womit ich aber nicht zufrieden bin. Fällt jemandem was ein?
Danke euch!

Thanks Cilian, I meant to add that one as well. Particularly since the TV show of the same name often involved such activities. I think that would be good if being used for a UK audience.

bundles of fun
Ist zwar nicht unbedingt wörtlich, kommt mir aber so in den Sinn.
Man könnte evtl. so etwas nehmen wie the band members were real bundles of fun oder sowas in der Art.

German term (edited):
F�r jeden Spa� zu haben
(He/She) is always up for a good time
The problem with "up for it" is that it lends itself to a sexual connotation. "She's up for it" may mean "She wants to ______(fill in the blank)", esp. in UK English.

Agius Language & Translation
: Yes, I think in the context it would work, it shouldn't be construed this way. Up for anything, up for a laugh.

F�r jeden Spa� zu haben
Down-to-earth enough to try anything
Für deinen Kontext, vielleicht etwas mit "Down-to-earth enough to..." (accompany the author on silly rides, try anything once, etc.) Ich finde, das passt sehr gut zur Thematik (Sling Shot, Bungee Jumping, etc).
