    Your biggest adrenalin buzz?

    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.

    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

    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...

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

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

    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.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    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.

    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.

    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....
