Ways to get an adrenaline rush?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Does anyone know some easy ways to get an adrenaline rush?

By easy… I mean cheap. I have been mountain climbing (that was great), white water rafting (that was even better), and I reguarly skateboard.
But I just… want more.
Jumping off trestles/bridges (into water of course!) is also another fun one.

Preferrably nothing that could… get me killed, or in quite a bit of trouble (I’m sure robbing a bank could give ya quite a rush… but that is just way to incriminating:smack: ).

Thanks for any help.

Make sure you keep this discussion to legal things, or a mod will be along in a minute to lock this puppy down.

I bet bungee jumping is a rush, although I’ve never done it. Skydiving too.

Best I had was the second time I ever went scuba diving and my instructor (unbeknowst to me) was taking me through the ship’s channel cut through the reef (that’s a bit of a rush too - big ships with churning blades go through here?) to … look for sharks! And yeah, we found one. A smallish nurse shark, which aren’t known to attack humans, and we didn’t mess with it, but sharks are friggin SCARY looking. Just watching them, you know they are the product of millions of years of finely honed killing instinct. Good stuff.

:cool:

My brother trained as an EMT and rode along with the ambulance in our little home town for years. He said every call was an adrenaline rush. I guess you either love it, or hate it.

Skydiving is a rush - but it’s not particularly cheap.

I get my adrenalin from flying - getting a pilot’s license is a couple thousand, but you can take an “intro” or “discovery” flight at most small airports for under $50, where you’ll get an opportunity to take the controls.

Present a paper at a conference.

Epinephrine city yeeeeeee-haaaaawww

Ride a roller coaster.

Perform in public – sing or act. This works if you are part of a legitmate performance, or you can just go stand in public somewhere and sing a song with gusto.

8

Injecting oneself with adrenaline. :eek:

You’ll have to check with your local law enforcement agency over the legality of some of these things.

And I strongly suggest you rethink the restrictions about possible death as an outcome. Really, if you insist on that, you’re more or less restricted to amusement parks.

Please note: I do not reccommend these activities. Some would be stupid and suicidal, but they would also result in adrenaline rushes.

  1. Stroll with your leashed pet in the left lane of your nearest interstate.

  2. Walk up onto a set of active train tracks and wait. Jump off as late as possible before the train kills you. For an added rush, put your back to the train and go by sound.

  3. Take a bus tour of Chechnya.

  4. Agitate a bouncer at a bar until he beats the crap out of you. Alternatively, join a group of uniformed Marines at a bar and ask thiem what raping Iraqi prisoners is like.

  5. Join an EXTREMELY UNPOPULAR group (like NAMBLA or the Klan) and go out and agitate for horrible things in the faces of decent people. (You have to figure the people who do this get something out of it – I’m betting an adrenaline rush).

Go in a public restroom and have someone try to open the door on you :o

That may be a bit boring, but it works.

Or try to make it through airport security with a voltage converter. I thought they were going to arrest me.

Have the professor call on you in class when you didn’t read the assignment and you are in law school.

Have someone call you at 3:00 AM and tell you someone is dead. Scary stuff.

These are all cheap options :smiley:

Masturbate loudly in a public restroom in an unlocked stall.

12

Don’t forget yelling “WOO! I’M MASTERBATING LIKE A MOTHERF*CK!”

In a similar vein, you can wear an anti-Bush T-shirt at a Bush campaign stop. Perfectly legal, but that won’t stop George from having your ass hauled of, and getting arrested bythe Secret Service has to be a rush.

No, no. Sit yourself up on the sink counter.

I find a 2 mile run down at the gym does the trick. Particularly when trying a new pace setting which is a real challenge, but just within the limit of my capability. Major adrenalin rush upon completion.

laina has already mentioned performing (s/he suggested singing or acting). Good suggestion, and it does work. I perform frequently (in my case it’s mainly magic) and the adrenalin rush is as strong as ever.

Hunting.

Being Hunted :wink:

Roller coaster does it for me.

And I got held up by an armed robber once. Tuned up the whole nervous system for hours! It was worth the $20.

Forgot to subscribe to thread… no wonder I was checkin my e-mails to no avail.

Thanks a lot for all your suggestions.

I have been wanting to find a drummer and then start a band (I play guitar and my buddy plays bass), but in my small town it’s a lil difficult. But I’m quite sure we could find some small gigs that would be pretty exciting

I live in WA, so Wild Waves and Enchanted Village is the closest I have to a roller coaster, with the Wild Thing and the Timberhawk. I will hopefully be going up there sometime by summer… I haven’t been on a coaster for years… :rolleyes:

On the slightly personal and vouyeristic side… masturbating in a public restroom does sound a little exciting… :dubious:

The… bouncer thing… and joining the klan… I don’t want to get my ass handed to me completely… :frowning:
Thank you so much for suggestions and replies!

no personal experience on this one, but according to Mr. Churchill:

“There are few things as exhilarating as being shot at without result.”

:dubious:
me, a good canter across an open field would do it.
