Unique experiences for adrenaline junkies

1. What is the most unique and extreme adrenaline activity you have ever experienced?


Skydiving hands down! I have never experienced such a rush of adrenaline as I did when I jumped out of a plane at 14,000 feet. The feeling of falling through the sky at 120 miles per hour was both terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. It was unlike anything else I have ever done and has definitely been the most extreme adrenaline activity in my life so far.

2. Have you ever tried skydiving or bungee jumping? How did it make you feel?


No, I have not tried either of those activities. I’m not sure how I would feel about jumping out of a plane or off a high platform, but I do think it would be an exhilarating experience. Perhaps one day I will gather the courage to try it!

3. What is the scariest adrenaline adventure you’ve been on?

– One of the scariest adrenaline adventures I’ve been on was bungee jumping off a high bridge. The feeling of freefalling was both exhilarating and terrifying, but the rush of adrenaline was unforgettable.

4. Would you rather go cage diving with sharks or white water rafting in treacherous rapids?


I would rather go cage diving with sharks because I have a fear of heights and white water rafting involves navigating through rough rapids, which could be dangerous. Being in a controlled environment such as a shark cage allows me to experience the thrill of being close to these magnificent creatures without putting myself at risk.

5. Have you ever gone on a high-speed race car track experience?

7. How do you mentally prepare yourself for extreme activities like base jumping or rock climbing?


1. Visualize success: Before engaging in any extreme activity, it is important to visualize yourself successfully completing the task at hand. This will help build confidence and reduce anxiety.

2. Train and practice: Proper training and practice are key for mental preparation. It is important to ensure that your physical skills and techniques are up to par before attempting a dangerous activity.

3. Focus on the present moment: Rather than getting caught up in thoughts of what could go wrong or worrying about the future, focus on the present moment. Stay in tune with your body and surroundings to avoid distractions.

4. Use positive self-talk: Remain positive and use self-affirmations to bolster your confidence. Remind yourself that you can do this and focus on your strengths rather than weaknesses.

5. Visualize potential challenges: While it is important to stay positive, it can also be helpful to mentally prepare for potential challenges or obstacles that may arise during the activity. This will prevent you from feeling caught off-guard and allow you to come up with solutions beforehand.

6. Set realistic goals: Setting realistic goals for each activity can help manage expectations and prevent feelings of disappointment or failure if things don’t go as planned.

7. Control your breathing: Deep, controlled breathing can help calm nerves and keep you focused on the task at hand. Practice deep breathing exercises before attempting an extreme activity.

8. Stay relaxed but alert: It is crucial to remain calm but also stay alert during extreme activities. Being too tense can lead to mistakes, while being too relaxed can be dangerous.

9. Use visualization techniques during the activity: Throughout the activity, continue using visualization techniques and positive self-talk to maintain focus and confidence.

10. Trust in your equipment and training: Confidence in your equipment and training is essential when engaging in extreme activities. Trusting in these factors will help ease anxieties and allow you to fully commit to the experience.

8. Have you ever done a solo trek through a remote wilderness area? If so, what was your most memorable experience?


Yes, I have done a solo trek through a remote wilderness area. My most memorable experience was when I hiked the Long Range Traverse in Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland, Canada.

The trail is a grueling 40-mile (64 km) backcountry trek through rugged and isolated terrain. It took me five days to complete, and during that time, I saw some of the most breathtaking scenery I have ever witnessed.

One particular moment stands out in my mind. On the third day of my trek, I reached the summit of Gros Morne Mountain, which is the second-highest peak in Newfoundland. As I stood at the top, looking out at the vast expanse of untouched wilderness below me, I felt so small yet so connected to nature.

In that moment, all of my worries and stresses melted away as I soaked in the peace and quiet of being completely alone in such a beautiful place. It was a powerful reminder of just how insignificant our problems can seem in the grand scheme of things.

That experience also taught me an important lesson about self-reliance and resilience. During the trek, I had to navigate challenging terrain, rough weather conditions, and unexpected obstacles on my own. It was physically and mentally demanding but also incredibly empowering to know that I could rely on myself to overcome any challenge that came my way.

Overall, this solo trek was a life-changing experience for me. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and showed me just how rewarding it can be to venture into remote wilderness areas alone. It’s something that will stay with me forever as one of my most memorable experiences from traveling solo.

9. Would you rather go skydiving at 15,000 feet or bungee jump off a 300-foot high bridge?


I would rather go skydiving at 15,000 feet because I am afraid of heights and the thought of bungee jumping off a bridge sounds even more terrifying to me.

10. Have you ever tried zip lining through a dense forest or over a canyon? How was your experience?


Yes, I have tried zip lining through a dense forest and over a canyon. It was one of the most thrilling experiences of my life. The feeling of flying through the air while surrounded by lush green trees and gorgeous scenery was indescribable. The speed and height gave me an adrenaline rush like no other. It was also a great way to appreciate nature from a unique perspective. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend.

11. Do you prefer adventure sports that involve heights or ones that involve speed and G-forces?

It depends on my mood and the situation. I enjoy both types of adventure sports, but if I had to choose one, I would say that I lean more towards ones that involve speed and G-forces. There’s something exhilarating about feeling like you’re being pushed to your limits and experiencing intense forces during a high-speed activity. However, I do also find heights to be exciting, especially when there is a beautiful view involved. So ultimately, it really depends on the specific activity and the level of adrenaline rush it provides.

12. Have you gone on a caving expedition where you had to squeeze through tight spaces and climb up vertical walls?


No, I haven’t gone on a caving expedition that required squeezing through tight spaces or vertical wall climbing.

13. What is the craziest thing you’ve done while paragliding or hang gliding?

One time, while paragliding, I decided to try doing some acrobatic maneuvers. I attempted a wing-over maneuver, which involves turning the glider in a spiral motion while maintaining altitude. However, I misjudged the speed and ended up losing control of the glider and spiraling towards the ground. Thankfully, I was able to recover just in time and land safely, but it was definitely a heart-stopping experience!

14. Have you ever gone heli-skiing in untouched backcountry terrain? How was it different from traditional ski resorts?


No, I have never gone heli-skiing in untouched backcountry terrain. However, from what I have heard and seen, it is very different from traditional ski resorts in several ways.

Firstly, heli-skiing takes place in remote and often inaccessible areas, meaning skiers are flown to the top of a mountain by helicopter rather than taking a ski lift. This allows for access to untouched powder and terrain that is not groomed or controlled like traditional ski resorts.

Additionally, heli-skiing is usually much more physically demanding as skiers must navigate through challenging and varied terrain without the help of marked runs or groomed trails. This requires a higher level of skill and fitness compared to traditional skiing.

Furthermore, backcountry skiing also carries more risk as it takes place in uncontrolled and unpredictable environments. Skiers must be knowledgeable about avalanche safety and carry appropriate gear to ensure their safety.

Overall, heli-skiing offers a unique and thrilling experience for advanced skiers who are seeking a more challenging and off-piste adventure compared to traditional ski resorts.

15. Canyoning involves rappelling down waterfalls and navigating through narrow canyons, have you ever tried it before?


No, I have never tried canyoning before.

16. Would you rather go zorbing (rolling down a hill in an inflatable ball) or cliff camping (sleeping suspended on the side of a cliff)?


I would rather go zorbing because it sounds like a fun and unique experience, whereas cliff camping seems too risky for my taste.

17. What is the highest altitude mountain peak you have climbed or attempted to climb?


I have not climbed or attempted to climb any high altitude mountain peaks.

18. Have you ever taken part in an adventure race that combines various activities like trail running, mountain biking, and paddling?


No, I have not.

19. Have you ever gone on a white-knuckle ride in a theme park, like a roller coaster or a swing that drops you from dizzying heights?

Yes, I have gone on a white-knuckle ride in a theme park. I am an adrenaline junkie and love roller coasters and other high-intensity rides. One of the most thrilling experiences I have had was on a giant swing that dropped us from a height of 300 feet. My heart was pounding as we were lifted slowly to the top, and then suddenly dropped at an incredible speed. It was terrifying and exhilarating at the same time, and I couldn’t stop screaming throughout the entire ride. Would definitely do it again!
