What have you guys done that is conisidered "crazy" or "scary"???


Skydive?:eek: Bullriding??:cool: Swim with sharks??:eek: I want to know if there are people like me out there that like getting scared!! :p
 
Paintballing. Different kind of adrenaline rush, but regardless, no one wants to get shot. It's such a rush. I used to be an avid paintballer.

Also, a certain line from a certain movie about snakes with Samuel L. Jackson comes to mind.
 
Hmm.

Skydiving - check.

Caving - check.

Mountain climbing - check.

Motorcycling - check.

Racing - check.

War zone - check.

Trying to keep up with Jerry -- also check.

All in all, that last one is probably one of the most dangerous.
 
Slicing my leg open with a machete kind of freaked me out.

I been to Illinois a few too, that was scary.


I've had to tear open and clean a few mint Browning A5s too, I was scared out of my mind every time.
 
Room clearing always got the blood flowing pretty well. Sliding down the side of mountains was pretty exciting too. Neither was really "scary" though, just hyper aware.

Getting hit by a car was a bit scary though.

Rapel of cliffs, skydive, bullets overhead I'm ok with but the one thing that scares the crap out of me is the ocean. I like to look at it but don't care to get out in it. Went deer hunting about 20 years ago out on the islands in Prince William Sound, lost the engine and started taking on water. Yep, some how becoming a fish turd dose not appeal to me. Only been on a boat a couple times since and I KNEW WHERE THE SURVIVAL STUFF WAS.
 
I still have to say, the scariest thing I have ever done is canoeing on a bad river, at flood stage. I was a young scout, and ended up having to rescue three people (two leaders, and one younger scout) in one day. The rescue's were all near death. That day, we never found one of the three man canoes, or any of the gear that was in it! I still have nightmares about that one occasionally (even though it was more than 20 years ago).

Driving too fast on a motorcycle can get the blood flowing.

I have had some one fire 25 rounds at my feet while shouting "dance" (while rounds were zinging about........Don't ask.......).


I have also seen my older brother take a ricochet in the back at the gun range......That was a SCARY moment, and not in a good adrenaline way. Luckily it went through 4 layers of clothing, and only drew a tiny bit of blood!

My second child, we had to do an emergency C-Section. That was pretty scary.
 
Rock Quarry Jumping! 40 feet into a appropriately deep water filled quarry ... at 15

I am not that crazy anymore. The older I get the more precious life (mine) becomes!
 
Attended the Bondurant Racing School in Chandler, AZ. Really fun and learned a lot! On a weekly basis I mountain bike in the spring/summer/fall and ski all winter. Gotta love it!
 
Quitting my job to follow my dreams has been one of the scariest things I have done of late.

I'm a big wuss when it comes to adrenaline stuff. The rides at the local shows and fairs freak me out!
 
Bullriding is awesome. It does hurt, even when you do it right but I would put it in the category of good adrenaline.

Just not sure if my body is up for much more of it.

I worked on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier (USS Nimitz) during the late 80's. I mostly worked belowdecks, but I was our workcenter training PO, so I had to have a working knowledge of each job in our workcenter. On the days I worked up there, it was definitely an adrenaline rush; I managed to get through it with only a couple of major scrapes & cuts and a few minor ones. (I'm very grateful to be in one piece.) Stomach aches & bad tension headaches at the end of the day were normal.

Since then, I've felt no real desire to put myself in danger or do anything wild & crazy. I love the outdoors, but I'll leave the adventuring to you young crazy people. :D

I also had a scary experience cliff diving....70 feet!! Never again will I do that, but it was a great feeling kind of flying for a minute:thumbup:
 
You should try bullriding. It's kind of like wrecking a car, with no airbags. And then the car trys to kill you. AWESOME

wow that sounds like an awesome time, Garth!!!! As long as you are the rodeo clown, i'm ready!:D
 
For pure scary, the first time I got back on a horse after breaking my back and pelvis getting bucked off was right up there on the pucker factor scale. For an adrenaline rush cowboy mounted shooting competitions is a real rush. Running a horse as fast as he will go through a pattern while shooting balloons is a blast.
 
For me it was: Eating the words hottest pepper. And eating a vial of 1 million pure oleoresin extract. :eek:

On the rodeo circuit the bull fighting clowns are some the most respected people. Clowns have saved my butt more than once. Those guys are CRAZY.
