The most scariest hobby?

Mountain biking? Rock climbing? Sky diving? Base jumping? X games?
Nah, those are all for pussies.
My vote? Pickup basketball. Easily.
Number two? Watching a pickup basketball game.
Should have put this in Cafe Society, huh. :wink:

I knew someone who raced snowmobiles across open water. That’s up there, surely…

I saw that on tv. Not even close.
I’ve been trying to find some tv coverage. But you realy got to be there.
Gimme a minit.
Yeah, that. This one’s pretty mild.
There’s more. I always forget good old youtube.

Highlining/slacklining

Just riding a bike through DC has got to be up there on the list, I’d think.

Re the ‘graveyard’ vid: geez, they seem really angry for something that’s supposed to be fun.

I’ll just mention that my sister’s ex-husband, who normally was mild as a light summer breeze, would get incredibly worked up during pickup b-ball games. He once came home with a broken hand; he’d punched a concrete wall after missing a shot.

Pussy has a safety line.

He said “scariest,” not “stupidest.” :stuck_out_tongue:

Nobody’s angry. There’s no blood.
You have to earn the right to talk like that. You also gotta be good. Real good.

Krait collecting.

I see.
No, not suicidal, scary.

Ohhhh, pickup basketball. I was thinking of a bunch of good ol’ boys in F150s, and then here comes this cracker in an F450 driving down the lane for a lay up.

Carry on. My ignorance has been fought.

I was browising in the craft store while Kevbabe was getting beading stuff. I came across a bottle of Hydrofluoric AcidLEAKING on a shelf about 2’ off the floor and not 20 feet from the toy department. Seems it’s used for etching glass. I called for the manager, and they seemed to think I was making too big a deal out of it. I flew hang gliders in my younger days, and ride motorcycles all the time, but HF as a hobby item is some dangerous shit!
Yes I know it is in some cleaning products…I’m damn careful with those, and make sure Kevbabe is as well.

I guy I knew in college in the '60s was obsessed with juggling. He juggled things such as blowtorches, live scorpions, and meat cleavers. I never learned what became of him after graduation, but I wouldn’t be surprised if his nickname these days is “Stumpy.”

I have a friend who flies around in a plane he built himself. I wouldn’t stand on a step-stool I built myself.

Chances are your friend’s plane was built from a tried-and-true kit. You probably are safer in his plane that standing on your step stool. :wink:

yup …thats a winner

:smiley:
His mother made him wear it.

I just saw this video this morning, so I nominate shooting .50 cal rifles at iron plates. as being pretty scary.

Storm Chasing

Basically, you saw Twister and you thought it looked like fun.
