I get one at least a couple of times a week during a competitive event. It is quite a feeling that lasts a very short time, but you will know it when it occurs.

You think that's a rush, jam an epi-pen into your leg and hang on.......

My adrenaline machine.

Not quite as fast, nor as quick as yours. But it will get the blood flowing.
(Especially when you almost hit the trees at 120kts. )

The reaction when you run up behind a water skier on Texoma (and the guys in the boat don’t tell them you’re coming) is pretty cool too.

I get it by skiing steep terrain. Its like jumping off a 2nd story roof top 50 times in a 4-5 minute span. The rush lasts as long as the vertical does. Then you hop on a lift and do it again. The experience (and adrenalin rush) is beyond addicting, it can enslave you.

Nothing as fast as that,,,, my "racing" is very laid back but still gives me a fix.

There ya go!

I used to climb, rockclimb. There was this guy, Dan Osman, who intentionally took falls off the top of rocks while tied to a rope. He's dead now.

Some of my friends basejump off El Capitan. Never tried it, could never afford a setup.

XC skiing difficult terrain is quite a rush. Some of the trails are about 5ft wide and twisty with trees on either side. That's pretty cool, like singletrack mountain biking but without brakes.

Used to get it every sunday dirt bike riding with my friends. Racing hard through the woods and beating all your buddies back to the truck is a neat feeling.

running in cross country the last 50 yards gotta pass the next two people. dead tired but out of no where you blast past both of the runners.. i think thats an adrenaline rush kicking in

I think my first adrenaline rush happened when I was still pretty young, maybe 9 or so. My dad's Hobie Cat tipped over and I wound up underneath the part you sit on. I had to swim down then out to reach air again and it took a while.

I've gotten some rushes from near-accidents, too.

Know what you mean - put myself through grad school working ER as a CP tech. in a big hospital. But isn't it a rush when you can help snatch them back again? Only 2 bigger adreneline rushes are:

1) sitting on my MTB and looking at a seriously sick descent, wondering if I can do it and stay upright, then thinking 'one way to find out' and pushing off into air!

2) having 4 good looking women run to the side of my bed. Unfortunately, they were all wearing scrubs, and were looking at my CICU monitor instead of me.
