Hi guy's, i keep getting called stupid, crazy, hilarious because i can never get enough adrenaline. I do many exetreme sport's including downhill mountainbiking, parkour, free climbing and many others. But even after as really bad fall or when something goes bad i love it. Im not usre if it is the adrenaline im addicted to or the chance to hurt myself. Does anyone else have this problem?

I've never heard of someone being addicted to adrenaline. Have you talked to a doctor or psychiatrist about it? Maybe you just like to be active.

I hear you loud and clear. I love getting scared, and I love extreme sports; though, I do take a little more care. I kneeboard, paintball, ATC ride/fly (yes, fly), and rockclimb (though, with ropes). I have been wishing for nightmares for 10 years. Yes, I love being scared/adreniline, your not alone out there .

I liked to take the easy route. Just the typical sports-baseball, basketball, football. It's good to take risks though. If you didn't, you're life would be boring! There's nothing wrong with having fun doing extreme sports! It's good that hurting yourself doesn't keep you down either, because that means you have a true passion for it. I say enjoy yourself and don't worry about your addiction, just let it be!

Actually i have, and geuss what they told me? To stay in more :S and there trying to telle veryone to be active .

Im glad to hear i am not the only adrenaline junkie out there. I would have been worried if i was.

I like adrenaline, but I wouldn't call it an addiction. I do one extreme sport which is Aggressive Inline. It was pretty fun and got some adrenaline off it, but I haven't even scratched the surface because I'm too poor to maintain my skates. However, you don't have to do an extreme sport to experience adrenaline. I'm a 100m sprinter in track team and believe me, there's a lot of adrenaline every time I stand on the starting line, especially when I'm at the down start position.

I find your "addiction" pretty interesting. I'm usually a laid back person but once in a while I'd like to get a taste of adrenaline. I'm not holding you back from your hobbies just don't kill yourself (lol). BTW, what's ATC? I wanna fly.

Wow i feel like a lab experiment.

I think there is a different sort of adrenaline when doing exetreme sports to other thing's. I think the adrenaline you get when not doing something that could seriously injure yourself, even kill you is nerves or your body readying itself. When doing exetreme sport's your life is on the line so the adrenaline is there to make you worried and tell your brain it's not a good idea.

The biggest question i have to ask, is it safe or healthy to want so much adrenaline, and be close to possible death so often?

I think ATCs are those trike scooters...

I'd say don't get yourself killed or seriously injured - putting your life on the line for kicks is d**ned dangerous. Even if you break your neck and are 'only' paralysed, you'll have to spend the rest of your life being turned over by your nurse to prevent bedsores, and trying to bear with the sympathetic looks of the people around you.


My brother was an adrenalin junkie of sorts - he passed away recently. Violently. At high speed. You get the picture.
