In a very dark place
Thought I would see who else here likes things on the edge. Not a BBFS type edge but either extreme or dangerous sports and hobbies.

I love the stuff and am addicted to the rush which comes from the risks. There are risks in hobbying but they are primarily social and financial, I'm talking about the chance of terminal harm.

Anyone else here done a HALO jump?
 
Now you are talking of someting that could get me to jump

is that like BASE jumping? If you are into taking risks, try getting into parkour. I posted a link to this before.

HALO is High Altitude Low Opening, was developed by the US for covert insertions in Vietnam.

Not many will get to do HALO. Static is all I can do.

Looking forward to Paraglide in Alps or NZ.

I do lots of stuff with risk but I would never bungee jump. Good on you if you can. The stuff I do is with highly trained professionals who are at the same risk I am so I figure they are being as careful as possible. I was in Vegas at a trade show when that guy got shot from the slingshot bungee but the operator hadn't attached him properly and he kept sailing. Didn't see it happen but it was big news on the Strip. Just can't see myself trying it.
 
Alot of my friends go BASE JUMPING , ive watched all the time, so im soon to try it , im so excited , there are so many kinda things like that i want to do
just hard finding ppl that have the guts to go with you lol :p
 
I did a shark dive once down south, does that count? The sharks were literally at arms length from you! Other than that, I've done some wreck and cave diving before.
 
You haven't lived until you travel 260kph on two wheels and then lean for a turn posted for 60k which of course is taken double+10k

Like they say: do one thing EVERYDAY that scares you

Did the bungee jump thing, four times. Done some wreck and cave diving. Drove a race car around a tight little track outside of Vancouver.

Never done a HALO jump though, but it sounds like a lot of fun.

I tore my ear drum on the way down with the rapid pressure change. I dive but have trouble pressure balancing due to f*cked up inner ear fom infections. It hurt like hell. In the upper range with no air you hit speeds over 240 mph before slowing to 140 or so when you reach heavier air closer to the ground. It is a major rush.
 
Halo, Halo. Wait a sec. I thought you were saying hello to me in Spanish. Pura Vida. GB

DQ: I don't dispute what you've been through. Our situations could have been similar but thankfully the Ruskies didn't decide to roll across the border and chew up us NATO guys. Had they done that i know I wouldn't be posting. I almost got it on a near miss on patrol once but must admit that my experiences pale compared to yours. Luckily Canadas role in the Cold War was not hot but just one of participating in the cat and mouse game of bait Ivan in Europe.

This thread was about adrenalin rushes that we undertake willingly. Th type of thing where our intellectual side says don't do it but our dark side says what the hell looks like fun.
