What are the crazy adventures you want to try in your life?

I want to go to the Amazon and try to survive with the natives or die trying. I've always had that sort of dream ever since I watched films like The Emerald Forest and Where the River Runs Black as a boy.

Unfortunately, I think it'd be very irresponsible if I tried now that I'm married. I suspect I have about a 95%+ chance of dying with the way I want to go about it.

[Jaximus-Lion]

I would have the same chance as you of dying 🤣 . But! How about camping for 1 week and test your survival skills in the woods? Nothing serious

[HighlyVolatile]

That would be cool as well! I've done it before but in a very safe way with friends and equipment. I kind of want to push it to the extremes like on those survivor shows complete with eating bugs and having to build our own shelter and all sorts of unpleasant things. :-D My sense of adventure usually comes with its share of dangers and hardships.

[HighlyVolatile]

I also want to learn how to do this (the fun starts at 3:50+):

I'm a vert skateboarder and love doing big airs on vert ramps, but there's only so much air we can catch on a skateboard. With a motorcycle, we can blast off into the sky.

[Jaximus-Lion]

Oh dear! I did street racing (legal) but i don't miss with cross/motor bikes. Now my reactions are slower and i wouldn't handle it very well, i have a higher chance surviving in the amazon than driving a motor bike 🤣

[HighlyVolatile]

I think I might actually have better chances with the motorcycle although I've never tried to ride a motorcycle in such an extreme way. Well, I'm used to taking hard slams from skateboard on vert ramps and know how to instinctively fall in ways to minimize damage and land on the most protected parts of our bodies. Another part of the reason I'm really tempted is that I am getting older and I don't have the power in my legs that I used to as a teen, and I've also sustained some injuries (I'm missing a big toe, for example, which I severed off in an injury). These things have negatively impacted my ability to skate but I might be able to compensate with a motorcycle engine.

The extreme wilderness survival I think would be a lot more challenging for me and a crash course in learning of a kind I imagine I could easily fail at. I'm so dependent on modern comforts and luxuries and technology.

[HighlyVolatile]

Street racing sounds awesome as well but I'm a horrible driver! :-D I have a bad sense judging space and distances when driving a larger vehicle.

[Jaximus-Lion]

Try a race simulator or a racing video game. www.youtube.com/watch

[HighlyVolatile]

I've tried some in the game centers here (arcades). I'm really bad at it. :-D I also do go-cart racing for fun with my family-in-law -- we have an amateur team competing in races. But I'm the most mediocre driver on that team... not the worst average times but I tend to misjudge the speed I should use for sharp turns and drift off-road and crash into things. I kind of epitomize the Asian driving stereotype. :-D

[Jaximus-Lion]

At least you admit it. I know people swear that their driving is better than Michael Schumacher's in his prime and they are so bad

[HighlyVolatile]

I think when it comes to racing, it's like a beautiful combination of adrenaline and extreme finesse and precision. I tend to excel at the adrenaline part but I always lacked finesse and precision in any sport that requires it. Like I would be able to dunk basketballs when I was a teen in spite of being rather short, but then people pass me the ball and I try to make a jump shot and miss the entire backboard. :-D I'm just horrible when it comes to finesse and precision no matter how much I practice.

When I was young, I always thought that I would hike the Appalachian Trail sometime when I was older. I doubt that my knees would let me hike for more than 3-4 days now.

[exitseven]

get some new hardware. I got a new hip a year ago. The doc that did the surgery is 72. He told me had just had his knees replaced and hiked to the top of Mt. Washington.
My hip has not been seamless but it gets better every day.

[lilyanony1]

I want to go to the cheese racing in England, the tomato festival in spain.
Caribbean carnival tour...
Safari in Africa...
I'm sure if there's more I'll have to coax myself. At the time. Since I'm not actually an adrenaline junkie.

[Jaximus-Lion]

That still count as an adventure. So there is a cheese race! Tell more about it please 😁

[Jaximus-Lion]

Wait! What? 🤣🤣🤣 This is not what expected

[lilyanony1]

Pahahaha it's an adventure right?

[Agape93]

I want to visit chernobyl and pripyat

[Jaximus-Lion]

I was pretty close to chernobyl when i was in Kyiv in 2019. I try to stay sway from such places 😁

[Agape93]

How come?

[Jaximus-Lion]

I would guess i have phobia from these kind of places.

[Agape93]

Fear of a dead world?

[Jaximus-Lion]

abandon places because of nuclear or something similar

[exitseven]

I always wanted to drive cross country. I drove halfway once bit I did it in 30 hours without stopping and do not remember hardly any of it. I want to visit some national parks and monuments. I would like to see the Grand Canyon.

[Jaximus-Lion]

Well! Wait until the gas prices are down to normal, then take a month off and frankly i would do it too

[Blackcupcake]

I want to do bungee jumping, car racing, mountain climbing and travel all around the world and eat yummy foods

[Jaximus-Lion]

I did bungee in Stockholm long time ago, racing! Check Mantorp Park outside of Linköping (du skulle kunna testa köra race bil för en hög summa som vanligt). The rest! Give it some time

[Blackcupcake]

åhhhh! jag visste helt ärligt inte ens att man kunde köra bungee här i Sverige. tack för tipset!!😍
