When it comes to thrill-seeking behavior, there's a spectrum of personality types amongst us. At one extreme are risk-taking people who always seek out new experiences, whether their adventures involve skydiving, bungie jumping, or mountain climbing. Then there is the other extreme of people who refuse to even get on a roller coaster.

What is your favorite thrill -seeking-adrenaline-pushing adventure?

Re: Thrill Seeker? Adrenline Chaser?

I don't really do any crazy stuff. This is from last summer in Costa Rica and about as risky as i get:

dangling from a rope

It was pretty scary standing on the edge before going down but there's not much risk involved. They strap you in pretty well (and i had some help Eye-wink).

For stuff you really shouldn't do check these vids:

crane pull ups

camino del rey

Re: Thrill Seeker? Adrenline Chaser?

Man, I used to love going rappelling. Me and two friends had all our own gear. Eventually I sold my rope to one of the friends and he ended up using it to pull a car out of the mud. 200 foot rope--Ruined. We went to Red River Gorge mostly aside from the occasional urban assault. The cops may or may not have been involved once. Good times. Great pic Bottlebob.

Hey, that sounds like fun, rappelling in the city. All you need is a ski mask to scare the crap out of people.

Re: Thrill Seeker? Adrenline Chaser?

We went off of bridges and parking garages mostly. The gorge was far away and we would need a fix. We went to a three story parking garage that had a ditch running down one side so it was taller on that side. We got maybe three rappels each before security showed up followed by the cops. I fully thought we were off to jail. The cops told the security guard they would handle it and sent him on his way. As soon as he left they started telling us how they rappel and how much they love it. They gave us a warning and said not to come back. Close call.

Re: Thrill Seeker? Adrenline Chaser?

I've been white water rafting and it scared me like no other. Hubby and I were in this itty bitty canoe and as fun as it was in the quiet water, when we would get to rougher water, I was clenching my oar with everything I had and hubby was yelling "Paddle".

We got through a few rough spots okay, but the group we were with were high school buddies of hubby. They had the "chest of beer". We had the "chest of food". All I could think of was that all of the perfectly fried chicken I had made the previous day was going to end up in the water.

The friends decided that it was time hubby and I ended up in the water. After all, they had all been there at least once, if not twice.

So here we are coming up to a line up of his friends in canoes, they are prepared to ambush us. None of them have no idea that I am scared to death of water. None of them knew it took weeks for hubby to convince me that water rafting was safe and nothing would happen to me.

Holding my paddle as tight as I could, heart racing, and all of me begging to not end up in the water, we came head on with them. All of a sudden, before we met and our canoes crashed, hubby and I came to a complete stop in the water. We had become lodged on a huge rock right under the water, dead center.

Next, all the other friends canoes flipped and threw all the contents out into the water. Beer chest, oh beer chest went out and I watched beer cans bobbing up and down in the water, heading away. They had lost the bungie cord that held the beer chest closed in their previous spill.

Finally being able to breathe, I started yelling, "Get the Beer!". If there was anything I needed at that time was a beer.

I'll never forget watching them all go over. Anyway, we made it to the end of the trip and I stayed inside an upright canoe the whole time and swore to never go again.

As for rollercoasters, NO, I can't. I've tried. Even a bitty one at Atlantic City and even the one for kiddies at Santa's Workshop at the North Pole.

My adventure and thrill is to go as fast as I can on our four-wheelers up in the mountains. Yep, that's my speed. I love it.

 

If I was standing on a fish, I'd slip and fall......

Re: Thrill Seeker? Adrenline Chaser?

Nothing where my life is at risk.  Mountain biking and trials riding is about as extreme as I go.  Screw up there, and maybe the worst that happens is you may break an arm.  Fast rollercoasters are fun, but they need to be smooth and not beat the hell out of me.  I do not ride rides that get assembled and torn down every week.  Especially since many of those that do it currently do not speak English.

Bungee, skydiving, etc.?  No thanks.  When I ride bikes I'm in control.  I like that and I feel pretty comfortable.  But some gnarly dude setting up a bungee has his mind on lunch and he forgets something?  My family pays the price.  Same for skydiving.  No way.  Wasn't there a piece in the news last week about a skydiving intructor who was attached to a student and their chute didn't open?  Woops!  Wrong string!  I'd love to have heard THAT conversation on the way down.

One of my daily goals is to minimize my chances of dying.  Cool

Re: Thrill Seeker? Adrenline Chaser?

mine all started back in high school. TP'ing houses. my first was kind of scary. and i'm sure i would have wet myself if i was caught. it was the neighbors house. a group of us would then proceed to TP on a regular basis. once a week. and since we all lived in different neighborhoods, we would alternate. then we would get creative and try to decorate instead of mass toiletpaper chaos. this carried on for nearly 6 months. then flyers went up and a reward was offered so we all agreed to stop. but i have to say, i loved the adrenaline at that age. as an adult, i love mountain bike riding, parasailing, diving (land/air), and roll-a-coasters, bungie, and white water rapids.

Re: Thrill Seeker? Adrenline Chaser?

OK so slightly off topic but hey you brought up TPing and I have to tell you a great little TP invention.  See I'm married to a overgrown child and well about 5 yrs ago he decided to TP the nieghbors house - OK his giant three outside (it was his birthday).  So how do you TP a 50 ft tree?  Easy you get a wire coat hanger and make a TP holder and attach it to the front of a leaf blower.  Let me tell you in under 5 min. you can go though  24 big rolls and yes nail the top of a 50 ft tree.  The only real danger is that you can fall over dead laughing so hard or atleast walk away with very sore sides from excessive giggles.  The look on the neighbors face (good friends) was priceless.  That was some adrenaline that day for sure.

Re: Thrill Seeker? Adrenline Chaser?

Skateboarding and mountain biking. There is nothing quite like pushing yourself mentally and physically to do or try things that are just outside your normal abilities. Because really the main thing between me and doing what I want to do is fear of pain. So, smack your self in the face a few times, tell your self it won't hurt any more than that and go get on it!

Re: Thrill Seeker? Adrenline Chaser?

I'm a wus and too much of a chicken....I hate roller coasters.  I think it's a height thing and fear of the car flying off the track.  I know there's a slim to none chance of that ever happening, but with my luck.....!!!!Surprised   Now, the rafting, I would do.

Re: Thrill Seeker? Adrenline Chaser?

Well I love adventures.  Yep put me on a roller coaster that does a dozen flips and I'm happy.  But I also love riding ATV's and getting into things.  Another love is white water rafting.  The thrill of running a river with your toes curled up under the lip of the raft like haha its going to save you when you hit the rapids.

Re: Thrill Seeker? Adrenline Chaser?

HA! Frail? Girl, I got enough fat on my butt, thighs, and belly to feed ethiopians(sp) for months!

Truly, I have to have a "modest" front, because I have children......I guess call me a "in the closet freak".

And, hey! I wanna propel or whatever it is you're doing in that picture, man!
