What's the most daring thing you've done?

[Kitty 34]

My DH would probably say fly on a jet!

Before I was married, I landed a 4-seater plane and then took off again out in Colorado years ago.

What I'd like to do daring now is Parasailing! I think that would be awesome!

 

[minniepumpernickel]

Parasailing would be fun!

I went caving once. Exploring through a cave. It scared me to death, the spaces are too small and dark. I wouldn't do it again.

I've done all kinds of crazy things.

Lets see I decided to see how fast my car could really go on a country road... I stopped looking at 95 mph!

I also did said car around a turn, and almost went over a guardrail... (the dent is still in the guardrail--almost 20 years later!)

Walked around in my underwear week after week for three years doing Rocky Horror! (I think of the hundreds of total strangers that saw this.... I shudder at that)

Bwhahaha! If you did it in 1980 at the TLA I saw you Cindy!

I don't know, Kitty. Water ski or white water rafting? I would hardly call the water "white water" though. There were a little bit of bumps and splashing here and there. On my to do list is parasail and rafting down the Colorado. I would love to go sky diving or hang gliding, but only tandem! I'm too askeered to jump off the cliff or out of the plane alone!

I tried to take part in a Dis board political debate.

I still have nightmares...

Nope.... Harwan Theater, Mt. Ephraim NJ, from 1990-1993:

Daring? How about these:

* Drove a purpose-built Champ Car around California Speedway at 147.92 mph

* Occasionally stand in the hot pit lane at Champ Car races with people like Paul Tracy screaming their race cars just two feet or so away from my toes

* Rode the "X-Scream" ride on top of the Stratosphere Tower <shudders at the memory of it>

I don't know... I guess those are "daring".

I rode Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point... its not exactly the most daring, but it was fun!

Bwhahahahaha! Now THAT'S daring!

 

[dumboiu]

Flew solo a couple times in a 4-seat Cessna 172.

 

[Danauk]

White water rafting, the rides at the top of the Stratosphere in Las Vegas and indoor skydiving. All of which I would do again!

 

[FroggyinArk]

Here are a few things I've done, though I don't know that they're all considered daring.

I've driven 110, I water ski all the time, jet skied, when I was younger, I crawled out the window onto our attic roof and climbed down the side of the roof (by the water spout) and climbed down to the 2nd story patio. This was a huge house and that to me is probably the most daring thing because looking back now, I can see just how dangerous that was. I've climbed several mountains, but that wasn't really daring, they weren't straight up! I drove a motor cycle, not very well however! My best friend (girl) bought one and MADE me try it!

I want to try parasailing. I see them doing it out on the lake every year, but I can't bring myself to pay that amount of money to try it. Maybe one day? I'd also like to bungee jump.

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

It is certainly NOT entertaining any DIS debate stuff if I can help it.

Hmmmm...Daring, some might think the white water rafting, the scuba diving, the jumping out of a plane, the parasailing, the skiing and such that I have done was most daring of me.

Or, I might have said perhaps that first speech I made somewhere I don't even remember now was most daring for me.

Or, even the first DIS meet I attended with strangers I met over the Internet was most daring of me.

However, the most daring thing to me that I have done by far is raising our 2 baby boys to adulthood. Whew! they made it!

I'm so thinking I am done being daring now.

I find public speaking to be very daring!! Back when I would be in meetings at my job, we'd had maybe 60 employees and I could talk to any of them one on one, but I was unable to get up and speak to them as a group! LOL I wasn't intimidated by any of them, I just can't do the public speaking thing at all. I applaud all of you who can!

 

[LuvTigger]

I took my little itty bitty Suzuki swift to 120 even though the spedometer only went to 80...the reason I know I was going 120 is that I was "racing" some people who were going 120!

I'm not sure if I thought of it as "daring" at the time, but looking back, it was probably the STUPIDEST thing I've done!

 

[TheBellhop]

I think when I went into a haunted house by myself...

 

[onecoolmama]

Ok I have done a lot of things that I cant post.


But here is one I can.


My mom took me to the airport. I was late and I got bumped off my flight (the last one for the night. My mom had left and I had an exam the next day that I could not miss.


So, I went to the rent a car place and asked if anyone was going the same direction. I got a ride from 7 different guys (complete strangers) that night..but I did make it back in time for the exam.

 

[DopeyRN]

Hmmm...I parasailed...not too exciting but was wild for me.

Tiger Lily... not only have I been to DIS meets, my family SLEPT at the house of a Diser and family...never met them till the day we moved into their house...had a great time, but looking back that was pretty nuts. (Seemed so normal at the time too. )
