When I went to Vegas in December, I did this:



It was incredible. I was very nervous before hand but after 2 seconds of the first line, it wasn't scary at all, the best thing I've done.

What's your best adrenaline activity you've done? :)

Outside Anfield circa 77 was a bit of a rush.
What colour is adrenaline? :p
Sorry ccfc92 that looks like a blast.
Nothing out there from me unless streaking round a campsite in Barmouth around 1975 counts.

It was amazing. Even though I was traveling at around 70mph, it didn't feel like it. You feel secure in the harnesses, so you can just enjoy the scenery on the way down. Would recommend it to anyone :)

I am not getting the link come up at all for me, so when I saw you mention the words 'the first two lines' and it being in Vegas it did raise an eyebrow or two.

I did a parachute jump 30 years ago. Static line, none of that tandem malarkey. I've only done the one mind. I thought I was gonna pass out such was the fear I was experiencing on the 'ride up'. Even then I thought they'd need double the amount of people that were in the craft to force me out the door! No need tho, on the command I immediately got into position in the doorway and then it was just like tumbling out of an aeroplane. The sheer terror lasted for about ten seconds but then it became an incredible feeling.
I don't do the 'adrenaline rush' thing and Alton Towers just isn't my idea of fun.
I develop 'disco legs' when I get up a ladder to clean the gutter out.

I think sometimes, the extremes are easier than the "unsafe". Like I was fine with the ziplining 100-200 feet in the air, but would be nervous on a rickety ladder 10 feet in the air, if that makes sense :)

I want to do this next.

Btw, how it appears in the video is the same as doing it. It doesn't feel that fast, well I found anyway.

I am scared of heights so most of this is no good for me.

Went to Venezuela a few years ago and went down a river fishing for piranha (rest of the boat caught a load and I caught none) as we left the river and went into a lake they said jump in as the piranha won't come in here I was the only one that went in and stopped in for about 10 mins without a nibble.

Flew on a eight seater plane to Angel falls and then flew right by it and then turned and went back the other a scary move in my eyes.

Went on the little plane between jersey and Guernsey on a windy day the plane didn't seem to be moving at times I was scared shitless .

It's a gradual drop, rather than a sheer drop if that makes sense? Also, the harness makes you feel secure, and you don't really look down :)

Love the look of that zip world in Snowdonia. Think they have 3 zip lines there.
World's biggest
World's fastest
And
Some underground one.

Love pushing to the edge. It's the feeling afterwards of just pure exhilaration.
Think one of the first 'adrenaline' type things I remember doing was fast roping from a chopper! I've been hooked ever since. What you'd call a 'junkie'
