Your biggest adrenalin buzz?

[Laava]

What is the biggest adrenalin buzz you have ever had? Assuming it would have been something scary as mine was.
Mine was walking thru african plains looking for lions and then getting close enough to have one of them [the male] get up and charge at us.

[Tank]

Mine was the first time I got in the ring (lost on split decision 1-2) - hell of a buzz tho'

[Bald Eagle]

Being at my daughters birth and then fast forward 20+ years and watching her produce my first grandchild.

[LBD]

First track day...

Half way down a 50m rapple and finding a tangle in the rope...

First big shark when Diving

A big loss (and regain) on black ice on a corner.

Losing my footing crossing a swollen river...alone

Broaching when crossing a river bar in surf.

Stepping on a snake.

Almost going into the Buller Gorge avoiding an oncoming campervan on my side of the road.

Lightning strike less than 50 M away.

Being at the top of a glacier and it snows leaving snow bridges over the crevasses

Being charged by an angry cow.....the Bovine variety

First good electric shock.

to name a couple...no lions hawever, and I don't intend to get that close to them to fire up the adrenalin

[nudemetalz]

Mine was 8 days ago, watching my son come out of his Mummy....!!!!

[quickbuck]

Flying in an Aermacchi MB339CB....
Or, was it very low level in the Airtourer.....
Or, being taught how to Loop an Airtrainer.....
Nope, actually the flight in the Bell 47 Was as good as all those...

TBH, jumping on the 2004 KTM 250 Sx and giving it the berries in the paddock was really up there in recent times...

I bet you shat your pants.

Yuk you watched that?

[Berries]

First jump on a new parachute that was way beyond my ability.

As it happens, all my ACC claims have been skydiving related.

After all the dead bodies i've seen a birth is a bloody beautiful sight

[EJK]

After a small motorbike accident I got myself up and tried to lift the bike up too. But I end up almost throwing that thing across the road.

Adrenalin = Super power.

[golfmade]

Christmas time 2007 head home to Idaho to see family. We drive up to a ski resort, my '94 Ford Explorer. Turn on the 4x4 and as we're heading up the road to the slopes, the car does a 360 while I'm on a straight stretch of road... thought "That's odd" but otherwise it drove ok....

Coming down the hill, mum is driving and it does the same thing, only this time we slide right into the embankment of snow and we start to tip over. Car gets high-tailed in the snow embankment at about a 45 degree angle. Get out very carefully, one asshat honks his horn and guns it by us, but the following few cars pulled over, one tied his big ass SUV to ours so it wouldn't slide down and we waited an hour and a half for a two truck to show up. Tow truck had problems but eventually got it out. SLOWLY drove down the rest of the hill.

Later find out: The 4x4 was malfunctioning.

[MisterD]

Probably being in a pub in the Bigg Market, Newcastle as a massive fight erupted...some bloke walked up, seemingly out of nowhere, and headbutted the bloke standing next to me at the bar...then it all kicked-off and I ducked and ran.

[Flatcap]

Bloody adrenaline junkies! Life is about being as comfortable as possible, not scaring the bejesus out of yourself

Give me an armchair and a nice malt....

[mynameis]

What your own daughter giving birth. 0oh I can't even see it on TV, creeps me out.

What a coincidence! Exactly the same for me.

Except it was in Otara and I was looking for an adress.

[Tank]

I carry a epipen just incase I react to (not giving away my secret) - Its a huge adrenalin kick - and I can have it whenever the fuck I feel like it.

[Brownbikerbabe]

Everytime a patient is about to cross over to the other side and they aren't supposed to (Code Blue)! Most of the time we catch them just before they go in full arrest, and other times they don't want to come back!

Yeah they say the main triggers in a adrenaline rush are conditions such as high noise levels - nuff said, or bright light - when he down-trous and shows his lilly white arse, and high ambient temperature - that would be the high pressured, highly flammable air that escapes out his arse

Pulling off a particularly awesome goal at polo by either hitting the ball from one end of the feild to the other at a flat out gallop or, doing something clever with the ball that tricks a better player.

[Dean]

Where do I start.

Getting shot at by a Gang in South Auckland at a bmx park, I was a little younger running up and down the ramps with my big bro at around midnight we see four guys in the distance about 200 meters out. Then in around twenty seconds we hear gunshots and I could hear the "wizzzzz" go past my head never ran as fast in my life!

In the back of a Ford Telstar runnnig from the cops on the wrong side of the road with a drunk driver and no seatbelts or airbags in the car. I was 100% sure I was going to end up wrapped around a pole dead, pure luck I didnt.

Turning up to a party full of dodgy guys from Hellensville with beef against us Coast boys, most people got in fights except myself and a mate, the ones who were knocked out or unconcious we would lay em down outside on the front lawn in a row! Fucking savages.

Throwing a Smirnoff glass bottle at a guys house *he deserved it* with two other mates on Viponds rd then a guy in a cefiro does a drift and starts yelling "I know what school you go to, I know who you are!!". We ran each our own way so fast, down the RSA the guy chased me through the carpark and came soo close to behind me I thought he was going to run me over. Cut down a construction site then hid in a park.

And many many more :)

[crazyhorse]

Taking the guys on the outside....... gotta love that -esp when youre a chick :laugh:

My biggest adrenalin buzz was the two seconds that preceded me sticking my ST1300 into the back of a RAV4 that was reversing at me in a passing lane. I now know that that wasn't the taste of death. Quite.

[CookMySock]

Paraglider crash. Some helpful person (Shane Tims) adjusted my harness so once I was airborne I couldn't get seated in it whatsoever. I was left hanging upside down with 1,000ft of air below me, using only my stomach muscles to hold me upright, all the time trying to explain my problem on the radio. Eventually I declared an emergency and throw the radio and fight the glider to the ground and crash it into a ridge. Walked back to the car and drove straight him. Mr Tims gets censured from the disciplinary committee. I nearly died that day, and I felt it every second of the trip down.

[cc rider]

At 6yo in Canada - a bear came bounding, as they do, through the woods where us kids were tobogganing.... we done shit ourselves (bear in the woods joke here somewhere)

At 8yo on ship from Canada to Aus - we were running along the deck & I slipped on the wet boards & slide, ending up with my legs over the edge.

At 18yo in ocean where the Maroochydore River lets out - GF & I were swimming 10 metres off shore when a 6ft shark brushed my right leg.

In 2004 (?) - 91m up, working on top of the spire crosses on the St Pauls Cathedral, in Melbourne. Walking up & down 40mts of external scaffolding, then working with no harness. I was taking pics for metal condition report & had to have 2 guys stand on a foot each, to stop me getting blown over (strong winds up there). Too funny :rofl:

2009 racetrack - sidecar swinging. Last lap of 3rd set. Full bore out of the straight, up around the right hander, stretched too far over on long bike, right hand hugging next to exhaust, too much Gforce on me as I try to move & tuck back in. Lose hold on left hand. I got stuck where I was with only one hand under the bottom of the fairing a couple inches from the track & one leg in the air. Shoot up the back straight, still unable to move, stomach muscles tighter then a springboard. Another right hander & we slow down for chicane, finally able to re-position. Fucking Awesome!

What reason, if any, did they give for reversing in a passing lane?

[Skyryder]

My first ride was pretty cool. Still remember that. Tiger 100.

First time on a horse was pretty amazing too.

First parachute jump.

First salmon.


First fuck.


Seeing my eldest the the first time at birth. That was a the best buzz of all

Nearly falling into the pool of boiling water. Pure fear. Not a nice feeling I can tell ya when there is every chance you may die and not be able to do a the about it. A life altering experiance.............................still.

[slofox]

Sinking on the fucking Wahine...certainly the loooooooongest adrenalin buzz I ever had. (about seven hours).

sidecar swinging

I haven't found anything to beat that yet

Maaaaaaate ! The braking power of the drums is directly proportional to the girth of your fore arm..

Na the domy has a 4 leader on the front and you only use it 2 places at puke..

This has to be my most current buzz at hampton downs , at the Bruce Mclaren Memorial - Festival of Motor sport.

Motorcycle accidents are an effective, but otherwise pretty shitty, way to get the adrenaline flowing. DAMHIK

[QUOTE]Flying in an Aermacchi MB339CB.... Ye that was OK only pulled 4 G's , though , no suit.


Nope, actually the flight in the Bell 47 Was as good as all those... Ha,ha that reminds me , doing auto rotations in an Alouette

Haha I can relate to that. When I had my little off I got up walked 4 steps to the bike, it felt funny walking. I looked down only to realise that I had 'created' 2 knee joints in 1 leg. Compared left to right, left had 1 bump (knee) then boot....right had Knee, another bump, then boot. When I leaned on it - it bent more......and down I went.
Doc was not happy about that - 1 break fractured into 16 breakes and 32 tiny fractures, all due to me not knowing WTF was happening.
Stupid adrenalin

Spear fishing in 200mtrs of big ocean with lots of bloody berley.

35 mtr waves & 120 knot winds in the Southern Ocean, for 3 days.

Actually managing to score with a stunningly beautiful woman I thought was wayyyyyy out of my league. It was'nt the fact I scored that the gave me the adrenalin rush.

Getting totally airborne in a game boat going over the Hokianga bar, twice.

Three of these things I would never do again given the chance.

Ummm,
They are ALL Twin Seaters.... And I'm still wondering...
Part of the kit is a G-Suit. It is as important as the Helmet and Gloves.....

Banner towing was usually done Solo too... As the fighters had LIVE rounds in them......

Depends which airforce you were in. Not all aeromaccchis where twin seaters. Only need G suit if your going to be pulling high G's. Still used nomex fireoveralls,helmet and gloves. Ye the rounds where live with dummy heads dipped in paint/dye (so you could tell who had hit the target).

All Aermacchi MB339CB's were/ are Twin Seaters...... and powered by Rolls Royce Viper 680's.

It appears your Ariforce didn't have the same rules as ours.

G-Suits are for high G's, yes.... And As the Aircraft was capable of 7.33G (Self imposed 6.0G limit by RNZAF), then our pilots ALWAYS wore them.....

Ours were the ealier model MB326 and MB328KC's. Ours also had Rolls Royce Vipers, can't remember exactly which but know they were prone to the occasional flameout. As we where only target towing and I was only along for the ride I was not required to wear a G-suit.

Would be the 632.....
All vipers that were installed in the Macchi were prone to Flame Out.
Quite often this was caused by one intake being sheltered by the fuselage... Or, just the relative airflow angle of attack down the intake was incorrect....
Or, even just water being chucked down there by the nose wheel....

So, yeah, speaking of Adrenalin.... My mate actually had to eject out of one after it suffered a bit of Foreign Object Damage before Take off....

Must say, it was actulallly exciting enough watching the HUD tape....

Ye had to pick up the aftermath of one that flamed out during take off in a heavy downpour , pilot got out okay thanks to Martin Baker and his zero,zero seat.

[Morepower]

Bouncing along in the back seat of some poxy twin engined Cesna , Middle of winter heading to Palmy with ice built up and all windows iced over , then the two engines power down !
Luckily it was a Pilot error not an engine failure so we stayed up in the air. I swear that the book he had open on the seat next to him was "flying crappy planes for dummys".

The Lightening strike one day in the Taranaki that was about 100 meters away was just plain Pants shitting stuff.

The close encounter with 240 volts just threw me on the floor dazed ,

Falling while cleaning windows on second floor of house was only a short rush .

Swinging out on the boom for my first helicopter winch ride down through the bush canopy in ' NZ tiger country' to crashed smouldering chopper, followed by the most intense feeling of relief as my feet hit the ground. Sitting strapped in the co pilots seat in an Army Helicopter doing aerobatics in NI during 'the troubles' and then fast low flying at less than 50 ft to avoid detection.
