Thread: Tell Me About Adrenaline Sports

Chill Winston!

I snowboard, and I think this is an adrenaline sport!! I mean you get such a rush from chucking yourself down a mountain and stupid speeds strapped to a board, going off piest down the mountain jumping over anything you can. Often the only thing stopping you going off the edge of the mountain, and more than likely to your death is a little piece of string lol..

LOVE IT!

Nice, i have only been skiing, snow boarding definately looks fun, its just unfortunate that the family isn't really into it, if they were i would maybe have more of an opportunity to try it out.

I was actually thinking of trying a bungee jump, it looks really fun, i'm not too keen on heights but i could see myself jumping off the top of some huge building attached to a bungee chord. Looks very fun!

Has anyone here ever bungee jumped off a bridge or what not?

Would never do that!!!

Why cant you just get a board when your family go Skiing? You are alowed on the same mountain you know

No, what i'm saying is that whenever i have been skiing it has not been with my family, all the skiing i did was on dryslopes, not been for years though, i may go on a holiday though at some point that would allow me to snowbard

Ah okay I get you. You can go to Milton Keynes or Tamworth near Birmingham to go on their slops, its man made snow, but the closest you will get to the real thing

Its a shame i can't get down to Tamworth because i don't think it would take too long to get there considering its near birmingham, it may take a few hours but still it would be fun.

I tell you what though, i really want to bungee jump now I may see if there is anywhere in the UK to go, may not be the best but maybe

Lucid seeker, Great topic.

I think that we need to separate the two, adrenaline and sports at least briefly to understand the idea as a whole.

Adrenaline is a natural process of or bodies to function in a time of priority. A chemical release to let the flood gates go and pour out the chemicals to provide your body with the essential capabilities to carry out unseemingly unnatural acts.

Participating in sports at any level can introduce or induce the same scenario to your mind and body. As if to build the situation into a frenzy, your body reacts as if it is in a flight or fight situation. Although a game. I guess in some manners it is. Win or loose!

The best part. Although it can happen at any level, there are two entirely different outcomes.
Practice makes perfect.
When an individual in well practiced in a variety of, competitive in nature like scenarios they can manipulate these circumstances and use adrenaline to their advantage --the "zone" they often call this.
There is nothing like it in the world if you have ever been there. (this explaining why some can't just walk away form sports)
Adrenaline junkie -- A junkie, addicted.

To the contrary, the energy flow of released adrenaline that comes with that can also too work as your enemy as you cannot think clearly as well as playing out of control.

When worked in parallel with each other, Adrenalin and sports can provide you and spectators with a great show.
I think that this can override confidence at times as well.

I personally have dunked playing basketball while spectaters where cheering on a fast break. On the other hand, in practice I have labored and labored to throw one down.
