Crazy things you want to do

I would love to go skydiving, hang gliding and bungee jump off that bridge in WV I read about! lol

I guess I'm a closet adrenalin junkie.

The New River Gorge bridge is nuts.  They have an event there every year called Bridge Days or something like that.  It's basically a huge gathering of base and bungee jumpers who jump off the bridge.  Such a cool place to visit, though.

I've seen that on TV and I would do it in a second!

I am an adrenaline junkie too. I want to ride a real bull some day, Ive broke horses and the rush I get from that is awesome, nothing like it. Up until this summer I always wanted to go cliff jumping ever since I started jumping off of bridges (sounds worse than it is). We have a little river north of here that has tons of bridges that are 5-15' off the water, nice deep parts around them. Ive been jumping off of those for half my life. Finally some friends and I went out and found some cliffs and started jumping. Started off small, 5', 10', then the 30' high cliff and from there went to one that was about 60'. The 30' high one was nerve wracking for me, took me about half hour to get the courage to jump. After that it came so easy. The rush from jumping from way up high on a rock into the river/lake where you dont really know what all is down there is amazing. I get so much energy from it.
 As for other stuff I think driving a super fast car would be fun or going deep sea fishing. Ive already done tons of crazy stuff and Im only 21, like 'roof riding' where you hang onto the the luggage racks of an SUV while a friend drives like crazy through the woods trying to throw you off, jumped from roofs, all that. The whole falling feeling is awesome.

Does going to Disneyland with the grandkids count?

[GASlick]

anything Disney counts as crazy!

Glad that's cleared up.

Motorcycle? Yup, I've done it and given the chance I'd have another in a heartbeat. Bungee jump? Yup, I did it a couple of weeks ago, twice in the same day. Believe it or not, hot air ballooning can be a rush as well. This past Sunday was the final day of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. I had the great fortune of flying on Thursday October 7th (an early birthday gift from the pilot I crew for) and we both commented on how big a rush it was as we ascended from the field. I rode bulls, that was quite a rush. However, like Burke, the realization set in that if I were badly injured I would be unable to take care of my family. I'll do nearly anything for a rush.

Well, it's something I've wanted to do, and now I'm on a path to doing it   .  My wife approves, and I've lined up the riding course for 12/9 through 12/13.  I've had two bikes in my life, a Triumph Tiger Cub, and a Kawasaki after law school until my oldest, now 33, was born.  But, because I got my mind "twisted" in law school, I checked it out and found that most old f_rts who take it up again have serious accidents , UNLESS they take a riding course, and as a corollary to that fact all riders who take the course have a significantly reduced chance to have accidents.  Once the course is done, the licensing completed, I'm going to rent the Harley's I've identified, 1200 low and Dyna Super Glide, then in the spring, March probably I'll get my dream machine based on my renting experience.  Have to say, Brother Koz has been great and generous with advice and counsel in this endeavor.  It's hard to express how excited I am about this, I'm buying my clothes, boots--got them, etc. for the deal.  Located a place to store the machine nearby since our house doesn't have a garage so I'm putting all the pieces in place.  Funny thing, my wife keeps bringing it up when we're out with people--it's like some validation thing--if I could only bring her over on sly like she is on bikes.  Of course--a comfortable passenger seat is going to be a priority on the new machine for all that support.
