Tuna-Salad 0 #1 December 9, 2008 Probably another one of my stupid posts... The 3 things listed are what I think would top skydiving. There is one other for me and that is doing an interior attack on a working structure fire (which I have done several times already, but few people have the desire to do so)Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

AggieDave 6 #2 December 9, 2008 My professional life has had moments that peaked as hard or harder than skydiving or swooping has for me. Those moments, however, aren't every day thankfully. That would be really screwed up (not to mention society as a whole would be really screwed up) if those situations presented themselves in my every day professional life. Luckily the ratio of good people to bad people in my community is still well in favor of the good people. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

labrys 0 #3 December 9, 2008 I'm not a BASE jumper...but.... I did go to bridge day this year and jump. It was a 1000 times more intense than skydiving. No option for "other" in the poll so I didn't vote.Owned by Remi #? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No option for "other" in the poll so I didn't vote. Yep. First BASE jump was far more intense than skydiving. Of course, I did mine from a 400 foot building . Racing a bike on a track at 150+ mph is far more intense for me as well. Action©Sports Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Don 0 #6 December 9, 2008 Really good.. I mean. reaalllyy good... sex? I am NOT being loud. I'm being enthusiastic! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuna-Salad 0 #7 December 9, 2008 I should of added "getting laid" and "other" to the list. As I mentioned before, gearing up and riding the engine to a fire that you know is burning is by far the biggest adrenaline rush I've ever had. Skydiving my first time was more like having a flashbang thrown at me. Total sensory overload.Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

labrys 0 #8 December 9, 2008 There was this guy known here as tunaplanet... from the tampa area... who was really into games. your profile mentions games but not so much anything else. Owned by Remi #? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuna-Salad 0 #9 December 9, 2008 I regret to inform you that I am not this guy. Games are my source of income so to speak and what I did prior to sky jumping. I have used other names such as: Steak Sauce, Tuna Salad, Spaghetti Sauce... etc....Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

Isfrael 0 #11 December 9, 2008 Agree with the above post; really, really good sex. The only reason I say so is because it sex can't kill you... most of the time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuna-Salad 0 #12 December 9, 2008 Maybe not, but the financial obligations after said sex might come pretty close. (See one of my previous posts about the woman I'm seeing) I'm not real good at the whole one night stand thing seeing as how I don't like to be an asshole. Although in my case.. I wish I'd known what a cutaway was when I met her.... Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billeisele 122 #14 December 9, 2008 I'd like to take some friends up in the zero gravity plane they use for the astronauts - vomit comet - and do 4-way no packing required Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

Yoshi 0 #16 December 9, 2008 should have also allowed multiple answers... I think being shot off an aircraft carrier and the shuttle trip would both be more intense..._________________________________________ this space for rent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yoshi 0 #19 December 9, 2008 flying helicopters is cool... an I would say more intense... I say flying a helicopter is to freeflying as flying a fixed wing is to belly flying :):) I only have 150 hours in a helicopter, but its all so fun! other things to top skydiving? watching my daughter be born skull luge (head first) flying a helicopter doing pirouettes while taxiing to a hangar doing 180 degree autorotations to hit an 8' spot (personally with a 95% success rate of hitting 8' spot on 180's) doing run on landings at night watching sparke fly off the hardened shoes on the helicopter skids at 40+knots_________________________________________ this space for rent.

aresye 0 #20 December 9, 2008 Those 180 degree autos are quite intense. Lots of altitude lost as well.Skydiving: You either learn from other's mistakes, or they'll learn from yours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 14 #21 December 9, 2008 A friend gave me a 20 minute low level aerobatic flight in his P-51 Mustang a few years ago. We were supposed to go make a hop and pop after that. I couldn't have cared less whether I jumped that day or not. I was satiated already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racing a bike on a track at 150+ mph is far more intense for me as well. 100% agree, i remember not even being able to think straight on exit point, like being in a room of a thousand people screaming information at you and you cant take it in, head just spins. But the reality is you're at a deathly silent exit point Mine was with a dolphin container, Fury220 and a 300ft-350ft guyed AM antenna making my first ever night jump.
