Adventure

[Run n Spread]

What is the most fun thing you have ever done?

Could be anything. Yeah we all work/pick up/ try and better ourselves/fulfill our position in some bullshit social hierarchy and have no choice. But what did you do that was cool (As in you actually did what you personally wanted):

Me:

1. Bungy Jumping. I was shit scared but did it anyway.

2. Swam under a Mountain/Waterfall. Doesn't sound like much but it is really cool when actually in a whirl pool.

3. White Water Rafting. Have always loved water the ocean and was fun.

4. Sky diving. Would love to go again but it has been so long I can barely remember. Weird thing was it was just something i wanted to do so barely thought about it till Ground zero till I nearly pulled out.

Probably snowboarding. Long time since Ive done it but it's the one thing apart from travel that stands out.

I am an incredibly boring person regarding adventure stuff, but as a ski nut, La Grave was a unique experience.

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Adventure. Excitement. A Jedi craves not these things...

Paragliding through the Austrian alps during winter. Cold crisp air blowing across my face as I took in the beautiful sight of the snowy mountain tops. It was unreal

Visiting Auschwitz.

I tied a rope to a surf rescue helicopter that was left unattended near the Yarra. I then covered a 20 metre dynamic rock climbing rope and hid it under grass and attached to the landing gear of the helicopter. I then went behind this building nearby, created a loop in the rope for my foot placement waiting for the helicopter to take off with me attached to the rope.

So up we go. I'm now shitting myself up in the air hanging for my life. Got extremely close to some buildings, funny thing I remember some office workers up on the top level of the Optus Building looking out the window shocked with what they were seeing. The wind picked up and I'm bearly hanging on. So I remember we flew across the ocean somewhere and after about an hour could see a small boat under me with two struggling fisherman waving for help. A hoist rope almost takes me out as it gets thrown out the helicopter just missing me. Then the surf rescue guy gets hoisted down and sees me with a look I will never forget as he is coming down. He grabs me and hoist me up then gets the other two fisherman.

They couldn't speak English well so I just made out I was with them fishing and all was good in the world again.

Are you Tom Cruise?

No I'm John and I've killed a guy once with just a pencil.

Coach trip. Sounds like an old lady going on holiday.

Haha. Was a lot of fun actually. 60 or so people just drinking a few beers heading to the game. Might make it an annual thing.

I have a photo of a would be right wing conservative politician in Vegas with an AK, and a picture of bin Laden which he's about to blow the shit out of. He's worked very hard at ensuring as few as possible of these pictures exist anymore.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

OMG I've been there! That could have been me!!


I did in fact take a photo of myself at Auschwitz as well, but (1) I wasn't grinning like a moron in it; and (2) I didn't distribute it to the world on social media.

Nah, I went there with my dad to see what he did at work.

 

[The_Todd07]

Rode a mountain bike down Death Rd in Bolivia that was featured in Top Gear

There's virtually no traffic on the road anymore but the 200m sheer cliffs haven't gone anywhere

Didnt make it down unscathed. Went over the handle bars off the safe side of the road. Needed some stitches and I'm amazed I didn't bust my collar bone.

Not funny.

On topic..... rode a pushie 8,000km between Anchorage (Alaska) and Tijuana (Mexico).
