    I’m turning into an adrenaline junkie

    Help?

    Planning on doing some track days on a big bike when I have the money (higher than my little 500cc anyway ).
    Enjoy SCUBA diving, although I don’t have the time for that at the moment.
    And you’ll find me on the dancefloor for days at a time.

    Been thinking of other things to do, but coming up a bit short. There has to be loads of high adrenaline sports out there.
    Currently thinking of doing a skydive and rafting. Anyone got other suggestions?

    Good point. Forgot to mention that.
    Used to do Jujitsu, but had a year from hell and it all went Pete Tong. Really need to pop up the club and get restarted with it

    Skydiving is great, there's only one place I'd recommend - http://www.bpslangar.co.uk/

    Awesome facilities, and awesome instructors, just near Nottingham

    Indeed - broke my Collar Bone doing it (and now got a metal plate in my shoulder )

    How about Karting? - Buckmore Park is well worth the Journey

    Oh, and trackdays - what are you doing? I was looking at one on hired CBR600RRs...

    Here's one I prepared earlier, bungy jumping in Thailand.



















    Absolutely crapped myself but I've got the certificate for doing it and I don't think you'd catch me doing it again!

    Paint-balling is a good cheap one if you can get a few mates together.

    I have to say, If you're serious about doing a freefall course rather than just one skydive, then you're better off doing it in the USA. The course itself will be about a third of the price, so you should save a little bit with flights accomodation etc included, plus you'll get better weather, and one heck of an experience.

    This kind of activity just works better over here! Send me a pm if you'd like details of a place I'd reccomend here in FL.

    This is always a winner, but might be a bit extreme for you.
