Get a group of friends and throw fire works at each other........ fun but dangerous. Wombat was a couple inches away from taking my manhood with a bottle rocket. Lol i had a hole in my shorts.

Or you could jump off something.

bah... i have been making home made fireworks or years. they are just dangerous to make and don't give me to big of a rush.  besides trying to not get cuaght is the main part of the rush of it... i need something to give me a bigger rush.

well come to think of it... my friend almost got blown up once he was lucky.  and we were dumb at that time.  but that time gave me a big rush(wasn't worth it)...

Lmao Hazard's shorts were fucking on fire and he just stands there while I yell at him.  I would really suggest playing with single firecrackers rob, not the greatest rush unless you throw them in a cops garbage can and wait around for an hour sitting on a bench untill he comes up to you and starts screaming at you....but they are sooo much fun to throw at your friends and the best thing is to shoot them out of a slingshot.  It's awesome in the air at night, especially an m80 if you can get your hands on them, I don't suggest trying to shoot bottlerockets like Hazard said though....

i'm not talking about small firecrackers i'm talking fireworks... i have made some big mofo's... i drove to the dessert just to set 1 off with 2 other friends.  
i can't say how big they are but i would say my smaller sized explosives are about a M1000.  i get it as a rush anymore.  just something cool to see and fun to do and the destuction!

Do you live in a city with a nice river in it? If so go to the highest bridge within reason and jump off of it. We have a bridge jump club here. Go skydive wtf. That is a fucking rush.


Title: Re:What is the most extreme thing to do?
Post by: OoA rob on September 05, 2002, 04:44:21 am
in san diego there isn't a bridge to really jump in to a river.

skydiving, mb.  but you have to get trained and shit i bet.  how much would it cost?


Title: Re:What is the most extreme thing to do?
Post by: †FiRE Infection on September 05, 2002, 04:53:12 am
Hazard would know...his sister just went, it seemed cool though, she got a video and everything and the training wasn't that long.  It is pretty expessive though and you do have a guy on your back the whole time.

come snowboarding with me here in washington.
I once hit a 20-30 foot cliff on acident  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/so.gif)
My friends went off first after checking it out, and i watched them go down from a ways behind (piss break), and it looked like a chute when i aproched it. When i got to the lip to stop the snow turned from 2ft powder to ice. there was no way i coulda backed out the cliff,  and and i stomped the landing after flailing in the air for a while ;D. usualy whenever we hit cliffs it involves a process of checking the takeoffs and landings.
My local mountain had 5 deaths last year  :(. its just important to know the terrain and wear a helmet.
is that extreme enough for you rob?
price wise...
snowboard 400$
Binding and boots 300$
outerwear 200 - 400$
7 years worth of lift tickets and passes, more than a thousand dollars.
jeb
ps. that was the biggest rush of my life, i didn't stop shaking for along time after

Post by: Cossack on September 05, 2002, 05:54:15 am
Heh You live in San Diego than surf.  Well I guess you do that all the time. Go paintballing and charge them head on. Hmmmm nope. Oh I know! Go get a mountain bike( if you have on) and go down the largest steepest most gravely hill in the area. I did that. I went off a 8 foot cliff on my bike and continued down dodging rocks, jumping my bike up, doing some tricks and all. and then going down a smooth part  with no cars going atleast 40 mph. On a bike that'll freak you out. Heh I was finally able to stop and then I had to go back up that hill. That part will suck.


Title: Re:What is the most extreme thing to do?
Post by: PsYcO aSsAsSiN on September 05, 2002, 06:12:41 am
Bungee jumping and sky diving...i still need to do the latter.

Anyway, if you ever get to go snowboarding, go to the experts only area...that shit is freaky.

Cossack: Surfing isnt extreme unless you are riding on the Mexican pipeline or the coral reefs of Hawaii.

If you want a bridge to jump off in the SD area, go jump off the Coronado bridge. If memory serves, there are points where it would be just like going cliff jumping fairly high (which is insanely fun.)

If you really want something extreme, come up to USC and I'll take you on a tour of the surrounding neighborhoods. Well, more like I'll point you in the right direction and get the hell back to my apartment where it's nice and safe.


Title: Re:What is the most extreme thing to do?
Post by: electronicjo on September 05, 2002, 07:06:31 am
Hmmm, biggest rush I ever had was when I loaded some dry ice in one of those 32 oz. plastic coke bottles. Didn't explode as planned, so I decided to check it out. Being a fucking idiot, I opened the bottle with my hand, while my foot pinned the bottle to the ground. BOOM!!! Mostly just loud to the ears, but damn I lost my hearing for a few mins after that(not bad for a $4 worth of dry ice).

If you're a real psycho, read up on a chemistry book.


Title: Re:What is the most extreme thing to do?
Post by: Jeb on September 05, 2002, 07:20:09 am
if your dumb like me and my friends, you get roughly 10oz of drano, and some tin foil and throw it in a 2 liter coke bottle. then while it expands inside the bottle,  light a M-500 next to it. Then run from the explosion, and the cops.

its kinda funny when your at the store and trying to buy 2lbs of dry ice and a 2liter coke, or 148 eggs in a box at 11:30 saterday night.



Title: Re:What is the most extreme thing to do?
Post by: Oso on September 05, 2002, 07:35:20 am
hmm.... kinda like what ace said, but with out heading up here to USC, go to the towns near the border of SD, where they are all scarey... walk into the middle of the street at like midnight, and start cussing in spanish... yell certain words like... aaah you know ;D.

You can either run... when they come at you or stay and fight for your life =D, you choose....


oh oh i know!!, go to mexico.. since you in SD and go border hopping with some mexicans... it will be fun and a rush once they start chasing you down... cuz the southern boarder patrol guys are kinda bitches....


Title: Re:What is the most extreme thing to do?
Post by: OoA Rob on September 05, 2002, 08:16:10 am
i like snowbaroding...but is expencive to get started. i have been thinking about it. but i have got hurt alittle more than i wanted in it.  maybe i should slow up. i am new still new at it. but its the damn ice that i think can fuck you up.  i think we have more ice in CA. i just don't want to break bones cuz your held up and can't do crap.  tell me what you think... have you boke many bones snowborading?

paintballing, is not cheap! one reason i haven't been playing in a long time.  it is fun but ummm expencive(damn paint)... hmm... it is something i can consiter.

mountain biking... i haven't tried but i have thought about it... but if you fall you can get fucked up. i don't really know how it is. i don't know where i can go around here. maybe i will have to ask.

i do have a road bike for a triathalon. i have gone down the steepit road around and got speed wabals from it last weekend.

dirt biking,  just went yesterday and isn't like it use to be. it was about my 3rd time going in 2 years after my friend was parillized in the desert. i just haven't gone cuz he couldn't go. he was the guy i rode with all the time. but don't have many others to go. but as i rode i didn't have that big of a rush.  in dirt biking you just hit big jumps for a rush but i know from experiance you will fuck up once inwhile and get hurt...seen it to many times.

ace do you live in SD? and isn't it illegal to jump off the coronado bridge? although i don't care about breaking the law. it geting caught that sucks.  haven't people died jumping off it. i can go to a lower areas but i'm just saying...

oh, i have seen jetski's in the surf.  that looks real cool. hiting waves and flying 20+ feet up.  but then again money... anyone know anything about it?

i have heard about the drano thing... it makes hydrogen... i have try alot of different things.  but, welders have pure setalen(don't know how to spell it) and pure oxegen... so if you have a welder you can figure out the best mix of the 2 gases. first, light the welder on fire and adjust to the brightest flame possable(get your welding helmet so you don't damage your eyes...). once you have the brightest flame try you get the flame out  with out messing with the gas mix ratio. and put gas mixuter in a plastic bag and get a fuise and tie it off with a rubber band and your set!!! now what my friend and i did one time when we couldn't find a lighter or anything... figure on using a hand held torch.  the flaw with this is it is alot hoter than a lighter... so my friend went to light the bomb.  when i started to think what was about to happen i started to yell at him to stop. and that moment BOOM! the hot flame melted the plastic bag and right to the gases.  i was back 10-15 feet and i felt the impact in my chest and whole body.  then i started to wonder about my friend i don't remmber what he did but i knew he was in shock of that happend.  our ears had the worst ring and just couldn't make out that anyone said the first few minutes.  my dad had came out of the house to see what was going on...  he knew we were making bombs and he said this one was a louder than what he wanted us to do. as he was talking i did my best to make it look like we could hear what he was saying. i can't belive my friend didn't get hurt bad. i think it just sent a shockwave of force and i think my friend was complaining about his head hurting or something.  a goal i have is to do the same thing but in a big trash bag.  i have it planed out.  i wont even be near that big mofo.  my dad has don't it once before and said he felt the force at 75 yards away.  he said something about his hair geting blown back or something.  anyways it seem prety extreme...  i think the this type of bomb is the safest for the amount of power behind it becuase it doesn't have shrapnal flying.

anyways, i might be to picky.  i don't want to get fucked up but i guess thats what creates the rushes, the chance of geting hurt.

ouch, reading my writing hurts.  i'm to lazy to fix.

I don't live in SD. I'm from the Bay Area and go to school at SC, but I've been to SD a fair number of times. I don't doubt that it is illegal to jump off it, but if you could do it (from a low point of course) AND evade the cops chasing after you later, that would be a nice little rush.


Title: Re:What is the most extreme thing to do?
Post by: Jeb on September 05, 2002, 11:53:50 am
paintballing isn't that expensive is it?
Snowboarding is pretty expensive to get started with, unless you can get hooked up with a used board, and buy slicks for outerwear, but then you end up look'n like a fisherman with the raingear on.
California snow sucks ass, i've never acually straped on a board and gone snowboarding down there, but i spent a day fucking around in squal valley by tahoe and the snow was shit.
washington is the best state for snow, Mt. Baker washington holds the world record for snowfall in a single year from the 1999 season with 93ft of snow! they would shut the ski area down quite often to dig out snow from under the chairlifts which are usualy 60ft off the ground.

well, unfortunatly you probably dont live near the UP, or else i would suggest going to mount bohemia with me, skiing or snowboarding.

at the entrance to bohemia they have a big sigh, can't miss it WARNING, THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT YOU MIGHT DIE ON THIS SKI HILL!(or something to that effect) one green run, one blue run and the rest are all black, double black, or triple black diamond runs.  i'm a pretty good skiier, and usually a double black diamonds dont phaze me that much(normaly i cruse black diamons) but frankly, bohemia scares the shit out of me.

if you dont want to risk life and limb, may i suggest barefoot water skiing?
you're about 75-100 ft back on a rope behind a boat going 35 mph(on the low end) with nothing more than a wet suit. if that doesnt give you a rush , consider what happens when your toes go under and acts like a brake(your foor drops what feels like 10 mph almost instantly)

you dont need to be a physics major to figure out that you're face is then headed into the water WAY too fast( i would estimate that you're hitting the water at about 50 mph)

anyway, the spelling you were looking for earlier was acetelene(or at least that's closer to the real spelling)
personaly i would recomend that you get hydrogen and oxygen for your explosive efforts.  easer to obtain the ideal ratio of gas through simple hydrolisys <sp?> thus leading to a bigger boom.(true acetelene has more stored energy in the chemical bonds, but it's a bit more finiky on the combustion ratio than a hydrogen-oxygen explosion, at least that's my experience)

there is a product(i forget the name) that is  almost pure chemicaly bound oxygen. i think welders use them. if you cant find it, it may not exist, i found about this in a short conversation a few years ago, so alot of details are fuzzy.

and about the tinfoil-drano thing, yea, that's good but it's nothing compared to throwing a 5 lb brick of pure elemental sodium into a pond( for bigger bangs try pure potasium, but that WILL be dangerious, not to mention hard to obtain)

Post by: Mr. Lothario on September 05, 2002, 09:07:07 pm
     Pfft. Rob, you're a San Diegan just like me. You should know that the most extreme activity with the biggest rush is crossing back into America from Mexico and telling the border guard that you're bringing back some cocaine and marijuana. You probably won't even get beaten up too badly. ; )


Title: Re:What is the most extreme thing to do?
Post by: OoA Rob on September 05, 2002, 10:28:07 pm
HAHA loth ;D... i'll keep it in mind. where in SD are you?

in cailifornia the best place for snow is in mammoth.  i know that is a great place but it is a good 6-8 hours away and the closest place is 2 hours away...  so snowborading isn't the best thing for me i think.

paintballing can be expensive.  you always have to pay for paint.  a case of paint runs from 60-100 bucks and holds 2000 balls.  you can use 1000 ball for a day easy.  the trick is to get sponsered and you can shoot all you want cuz it would be free!  i haven't gone paintballing for along time.  but i'm sure there are guys that shoot up cases in a day >:(. as for just charging the other team for a "rush" it will just get you alot of welts and have to wait for the next game.

acetelene is the easyest for me to get.  if you have a welder you got it! it is simple to get the ratio by geting the brightest flame.  i do know acetelene is just abit more powerful then hydrogen. what you you mean by your experiance? have you tried both? i have only tried acetelene becuase how easy it is to get.  i have tried to get hydrogen out of water by electralicis(don't know how to spell) but i couldn't get it contained in a plastic bag or balloon. i just gave up. also we have a carbite cannon with a 5 inch diamiter pipe.  you put cardbite crystals with water and create acetelene and off you go(we blew out the back of it once but i fixed it). anyways, if i get back in to explosives i will use C4 or C6 or something new.
what is hydrolisys? sounds like electralicis(miss spelled)...

Post by: Jeb on September 05, 2002, 10:39:04 pm
lol loth,
a friend of my dad's was crossing the canada america border back int he 70s... When they asked if he had purchased anything he said "yeah, we got a couple bazokas, some explosives, and a illegal imigrant in the trunk. they didn't like that joke, and they striped his car and held him overnight.
I've crossed the mexico amerca border over 40 times (from texas) and i'd say that any time i try to make it back into the country is a scary  one. Now they randomly search cars down there and tey would most likely find the cuban cigars, tequila, and other contraban.

Post by: Brain on September 06, 2002, 06:12:45 am
hyrolosis/electrilosis is the same basic thing except the first applies specifically to water (if i remember high school chem class correctly)

anyway to collect the hydrogen and oxygen is to  take a milk jug, fill it completly with water and then turn it upside down in a pan of water trying to prevent any  air from getting  into the jug then insert the 2 wires into  the jug (normaly you collect the gasses in 2 different containers, but since you're just going to be blowing this up again, what's the point?)  then to the 2  ends of the wires to a battery (think car battery) and now you wait till you have as much gas as you need/want

here's a little ascII diagram for you

        _____
       |--------|<-------water level, above is the collected gas
       |          |            will be combined because of how the  cathode an anode are placed
       \          / <------milk jug or other sutable container, filled with water
        \        /
|------| |  | |-----|<------water level in tub
|          |  |        |
|______|_|______|
           |  |
           |  | <------cathode & anode connect your battery here



and i still think you should try barefooting

Well Rob, one good idea is to ski blind follded down backside here at EagleCrest Ski area in Juneau. Man, I lasted for about 20 seconds before hitting about a 25 foot cliff, that was probaly the stupidest thing that I even let my friends talk me into ( You were there wern't you Casper? With me, Matt and Gabe? ).  You gotta go out of bounds for the real shit. Try Snowblading, or considering how hard it is to stop, try having your friend snowblade while you ski, Casper fucking took me out on Wolverine last year ( Dumbass ), do some skiing shit, thats the real way to get the good thrills.

I lived in Poway my entire life, then during last summer, I moved about six miles away to my current place. Where are you in this fine town of ours?

Loth, i think i remmeber you were in poway. anyways, i'm in likeside. we were just across the other side of the hills.

lol jeb, i have thought about it before. but i would want another person in the car.

extreme laziness

put a backboard with a coushin on a minifridge, and place that in front of your computer. cut a hole in the top, and put a bucket under it. fill the fridge with beer and soda, fill a big ass jar with pretzles and put that next to your new chair. then look at porn all day.. if you have to take a crap the chair has a hole in it, and food and drinks are never out of reach.

Not so much anymore, but two days ago I was out in the 15 ft surf (waves are measured on the backside, not the face that you see)...I must say I got my ass handed to me and broke a fin off of my board  >:( so I ended up going back out with a bodyboard and a pair swim fins. You talk about extreme, that is extreme (more so if you dont know what you are doing like my friend)

Geek that's the way to go.

Although mtn biking is my personal favorite.  Blowing things up and/or trying to kill yourself aren't quite as much fun.

But I wouldn't worry about safety in biking.  Most of the really dangerous things (i.e. careening down ridiculous hills) are hard to do unless you're pretty good at it anyway.  For example, a great hill/cliff might be in the middle of a 6-mile loop trail.  You'd have to be skilled enough to get to it, and then hopefully those skills would be enough to keep you from killing yourself  :D

Plainly, wouldn't work. End of story. I won't even begin to point out the misconceptions here.


Paintballing kicks ass. I by my paint $10 for 2000. All you need is a gun and a little bit of land. But the most extreme thing i can think of would be skydiving.


Title: Re:What is the most extreme thing to do?
Post by: Brain on September 07, 2002, 07:03:57 pm
well baz, i was kinda leaving that up to you, what you could do though was ,replace the milk jug with a 5 gallon trash bag(you would need a huge tub of water to do that) and then the bag will evantually start to float due to the gas. when the bag is empty of water(bubbles come out the bottom) tie it off, tie it to something and get a really long(may i suggest around 10 ft?) stick and tie a match to it.  get a friend to light tthe match, and have him run behind you  while you push the match into the bag

if all goes well, you should have quite a nice explosion(5 gallons of hygrogen and oxygen, that should be fucking huge) with a very loud report as well


alternte detonation ideas
trie to figure out a way to use those rocket igniters to blow this up. if you want to you can add speaker wire to give you more range(they start with 15' of wire i think)


Title: Re:What is the most extreme thing to do?
Post by: OoA Rob on September 07, 2002, 08:21:36 pm
i know just how i would light 5 gallon of acetelene or hygrogen.  all you need is a car battery, power cord(how long this is will be the distance there you will be), very thin wire(about hair size) and 2 spare wires at any size(i use 4).  

1)you take 2 wires and hook one wire up to the - and + on the car battery.  leave 1 wire off the battery so you don't hurt yourself later.
2)take the other side of the 2 wires and hook them up to the power cord.
3)on the other side of the power cord hook up the hair size wire to both the - and + on the cord(i like to have 2 wires between the power cord and the thin wire to make it easyer to ajust if needed). and in the middle of the small wire have it touch i fuse or something to set off the bomb.
4)when every  thing is clear you take the 1 wire that is not touching the car battery and touch it to the left over out puts.
at that point the the bomb will explode.

the way this works is basicly you make the small wire very very hot by sending so much power though it and burns what ever it touches. this is very simple. you don't want complicated set ups.

before all that i wouldn't just set up the 5 gallans of acetelene by holding it my self.  i want to stay the fuck away. i would have a tube to fill it up at a safe distance.  so many things can go wrong. i don't want to find out what can happen to late.  static electricty can set it off and so many other ways can.

Brain- About how long would the wires have to be in the bag untill full of H?

Rob- were you just joking about the measurements or serious?

to be honest, i dont have the foggiest idea, i've never done a hyrogen detonation that big before(i lack a tub big enough to do a 5 gallon bag), and it would probably depend on how much charge was in the battery. just do it until it seems that most of the water is out of the bag(judge by how much of the bag is floating, and how full it seems), and tie it off underwater. (oxygen is heavier than nitrogen so it will escape if  you do it in the air)  that way you have a little balast to keep the bag on the ground as well

Title: Try Downhilling!
Post by: AK_Rap1d on September 09, 2002, 06:07:43 pm
Man, a lot of suggestions in this thread, but nobody knows a cheaper way: Downhill Skateboarding.

You live in SD and there are a lot of hills there to go down.  You can charge by yourself, or do like me and my buddies and have one guy follow behind you guys or in front clearing the way honking at other motorists ;)  Then find hills and charge down them.  Before you know it you'll be going 10, 20, 30 and even up to 40mph and damn if your trucks are too loose and give you speed wobbles (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/shocked2.gif)  Once you get it down, you'll be addicted to this rather cheap sport in which all you need is a longboard skateboard (Preffered over short boards) and maybe some gloves and a helmet.  We go in shorts a tshirt and pair of sneakers, but have too many times payed the price with burns running up and down our legs and arms.  The worst one I had was at this place called Table Rock in Laguna Beach where my buddy went down this steep ass hill that had a turn, but at the bottom it had a gutter and if you didn't hug the turn and took it wide, you'd hit it.  I took it wide, hit it and flew on my belly and knees for about 10 yards before stopping and checking my knees and arm had the worst road burn ever!  I had to go to Sav-On and buy a bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide and dump it on my wounds :(  It hurt like hell, but that run was tight until I hit that bump!  LoL!  That seldom happens so you won't have to worry about it.  So, I suggest you go downhilling as soon as you get a chance ;)

yo rapid, what kinda longboard you gots? i was really considering getting a sector 9 (www.sector9.com)...but is 130 a reasonable price?


Title: Sector9 or Freeride are good boards. $130 is good price 4 full setup
Post by: AK_Rap1d on September 11, 2002, 07:05:47 pm
Sector 9's are awesome.  $130 is a reasonable price for a full set up, so yeah, that's a good price.  I ride a Freeride.  Me and my friends trade off boards since some of us have the long long boards and some of us got the shorter "speedster" boards.  All in all, the wheels is what matters the most.  The right wheels will make your ride so smooth and so pleasant, while shitty wheels will make everything lame.  The softer the better, so get out there today and enjoy this free sport that gives you one hell of a rush! ;)
