Re: Adrenaline Junkies
That video is insane.
I used to love the adrenaline rush and did skydiving, etc. etc. but I crashed by bicycle in a fast descent a while ago and hurt myself bad, and I can't do it any more. It's not like I "realized I'm mortal" or anything rational, it's just that the thrill is gone and in it's place I just feel out of control and close to crashing whenever I do anything crazy. BTW fast bike descents are probably the easiest & cheapest way for anyone out there to do some seriously crazy exciting risky activity. Try it on a fixie with no brakes if that gets boring.
I'm not really impressed by the thrill-jockeys, but when guys have horrible accidents and then jump right back in to the same activity and keep pushing the risks, that's impressive (in an insane sort of way).
