Adrenaline Junkies

[Rici]

Ok, so I've been to Blanes, Spain for 2 weeks and the last day we went to Waterworld in Lloret de Mar. Just outside Waterworld there was this bungee jump tower. I was there with 6 other guys and 5 of jumped(3 guys, including me, did it twice).

Here's the video of my second jump, the tower is 80 meters high:

I'm so ****ing glad I did this. The feeling you get is undescribable. It's been 2 days ago and when I close my eyes I still can see me jumping.

Tomorrow it's my birthday, but I've already celebrated it before I went to Blanes. I got a parachute jump for my birthday and I'll do it as soon as I get back from my second vacation(I'm going interrailing through Europe for 3 weeks). I can't wait for it. When I'll have the money I'm gonna do one of those courses where you learn to jump on your own.

So, have any of you ever bungee jumped/skydiving/any other things that will make you balls tickle? Tell us and try to let us feel the feeling you've had. TALK, ADRENALINE JUNKIES, TALK!

I hate heights. But I still think that would be cool, I'm wondering if I could ever do this.

The coolest adrenaline seekers search for screamers on the internet.

does the point of lowest altitude hurt you? (that split second when you're jerked back up by the cord)

 

[Rici]

No it doesn't, but you do feel the force on your body, which is awesome.

Hmm, well I've never done any bungee jumping or skydiving, but I grew up in a family that seems to find delight in adrenaline rushes. Cliff jumping and rope swinging with drops up to 60 feet is the norm in the summertime. And in the wintertime, I drop plenty of cliffs skiing, although the biggest I've done is only around 25 feet. We don't have the nice, soft powder to land in where I grew up like they do out in the western US.

I also really like rock climbing, and delight in super exposed routes. Not quite the same as bungee jumping, but I'd imagine the adrenaline rush is somewhat similar.

Wow. I wouldn't be able to do it. Whenever I see somebody doing that on tv it gives me that weird feeling in my stomach like when your going down a dip when driving... It's very cool but only a person with a lot of guts would do it. Oh and Happy Birthday (in advance)!

I don't like that butterfly feeling for too long, which is why I don't really go on rollercoasters, but falling I'd imagine is a bit different, after all its just gravity, and I have jumped off things before, so I wouldn't mind sky diving, but don't know what it would feel like once I reached terminal velocity.

I don't know about the adrenaline part, but I live for physical exursions. Rock climbing, C.O.P.E., a long, hard run, anything that zaps your energy and leaves you sore for a week is awsome by me.

I suppose you could say I'm more of an endorphine junkie.

the msot adrenaline thing I've ever done is jumping into a pool from 28 ft at mountain creek water park. And skiing pathetic intermediate type slopes
