I think...
I think I might be an adrenaline junkie. I just love that feeling you get when there's that rush of adrenaline going into your system. It's like all your senses are heightened. Anybody else know what I'm talking about or have I lost my mind??

my friend is like that, he is a SEAL and he loves the rush of it, everything from the skydiving to the dangerous operations he is doing in iraq right now.
me, i am opposite, i hate to get a rush, i won't even go up in a ferris wheel, i sometimes look back on things i have done and wonder how the heck i even did it. paint ball gets my jitters up enough for me, but yet for some reason flying on an airplane does not bother me one bit.

Yup, I love the rush...I've bungee jumped a few times, want to skydive one of these days, I'll get a bicycle up to 45 mph...But my favorite is breaking/riding young horses, when your first foot hits the stirrup I get the rush...because anything can/probably will happen...I love it.

My third and last skydive was 14,000 feet. Had it videotaped since all I can do now is watch the tape and try to remember the rush. It was unreal.
Tough to beat the adrenaline rush of skydiving although I've had some amazing highs while flying an instrument approach down to IFR minimums with gusty winds. When you finally break out of the clouds and the runway is a ouple hundred feet below you.....that is a trip and a half.

That's one thing I miss about living out in AZ, ripping across the desert doin' 100+ mph (rail pics in misc gallery). When you feel like you're on the verge of losing control, it's just an undescribeable feeling...
I think I've missed my window on sky diving. I've always wanted to do it but never got around to it. My wife says I have to be responsible now. I don't really remember what she said though, I wasn't paying attention...

Sky-diving for me would require a very large airplane .... a small plane cannot carry the people it would take to throw me out.
The most fear I have felt came with my first solo crosswind landing as a student pilot (something about flying sideways just didn't feel right).
That rush you speak of can cause some pain. My nose has been broken 3 times, I have had teeth knocked out, have spent time on a hospital gurney having gravel picked from my back and have been stitched up a few times..... but mostly it was fun.

Vegas makes you do stuff like that I guess.
