Thumbs up Are you a thrill seeker?

So, I get the impression some of you people are "thrill seekers." I myself have never felt the need for speed that so many of you have. Nor do I like roller coasters or thrill rides, or living on the edge.

What about you?

PS I already know Ellen's answer.

Love to speed, love roller coasters, love my snowmobile.

Rick tried sky diving in his young days. Thought it would help with his fear of heights...

Love speed in the S and on my bike, love rollercoasters, thrill rides, jetskis and the like. Never skydived, but it's on the list.

I like speed, car, motorcycle, quad etc. I will not skydive or anything else that would involve me in the air without my feet on the ground

Oh yea, I love cliff jumping!

My friends and I have some beautiful quarries we go to and jump into the water. Heights vary between 20 and 50 feet. We have some great pictures and videos of all this stuff!

Some of my friends have referred to me as a crazy MF.
cheapness keeps me from some activities. i.e. stock car racing school = $1000 for 8 laps. bungy jumping etc. if anyone wants to spring for the costs and watch I'm game.
I've gone rock climbing on 200' vertical faces.
age and bad knees have kept me from others

this was two summers ago in out in colorado, that gorge is 1300 feet deep and yes the swing went over it.

Yep, you're crazy all right.

You know, I think I might have asked this question/done this poll before, but that's OK, some of the newbies can chime in.

I wouldn't call myself a thrill seeker so much as a challenge-seeker. That does, invariably, lead to extreme pursuits (rock-climbing, mountaineering, SCUBA, etc.) but not for the thrill those pursuits offer, just the challenge...
