Craziest thing you've done by choice?

JohnCleary · 19-07-2010 06:00PM #1

Apart from Yore Ma of course.

I'm taking the plunge and going to walk the "El Camino del Rey" next month. I'm absolutely bricking it. I've read about it and watched many video's of it in the past but always assumed it was in some far off land. Turns out i'll be holidaying within a few miles of it next month so feck it, i'm going for it

That's not crazy, just don't fall off and you'll be grand

Edit: It looks like something out of Uncharted

Going to Argentina tomorrow to meet a woman I met online. Will find out if she has a penis or not (thanks for getting that into my head, fellow boardsies :rolleyes:)

Ran with the bulls at the San Fermin festival in Pamplona in 2008.

I had heard that it's closed to the public normally, and especially at the minute as the local government are doing it up. I'd be interested if you post back when you've done it saying how you got on, as it's one of those things I'd like to have a crack at once in my life.

monkeyfudge · 19-07-2010 06:11PM

Always been a bit fascinated with El Camino del Rey.

Best of luck with it.

If we don't hear back we'll assume you're dead.

Cullen82 · 19-07-2010 06:17PM

Derryleigh · 19-07-2010 06:18PM

Drive the car blind drunk with a fella sitting on the roof.

goodluck with that, I hate heights and really struggled watching that video. I had my hands over my eyes when he approached the holes with only the steel beam.

I ran up and down the eiffel tower when I noticed the small holes in the steel stairs so I would die there.

Sugar Free · 19-07-2010 06:46PM

That looks like great fun op!

I'd love to do the bull run as well one day.

I haven't really done anything crazy at all, unless voluntarily walking around in -110C for three minutes in nothing but shorts and runners counts.

Scuid Mhór · 19-07-2010 06:46PM

i posted in this thread. now everyone on boards.ie will think i'm a hardcore poster.

zuroph · 19-07-2010 06:47PM

I once filmed myself sitting onto an upturned glass jar. Didn't end well..

Ray von · 19-07-2010 08:20PM

Nevis 134m bungy jump in New Zealand and i'm afraid of heights!

I once ate a red Skittle smushed into the hole of a spearmint Polo sandwiched between two black Wine Gums.

Mental, I am.

Brendog · 19-07-2010 08:45PM

I ate a bowl of special K....

without any milk

Dempsey · 19-07-2010 08:47PM

Never heard of it until now but it looks mental!!

Didnt look like the guy was bothering with his safety harness as he was passing out lads. The fúcking nutter!

Saw this video then, I dont think I could do this, even if my life depended on it I would fill the togs! :pac:

The craziest thing I ever did was a tandem jump from 14,000 feet which I would consider tame compared to that walk

kwestfan08 · 19-07-2010 08:49PM

I once whored myself out.

For thanks! :P

Don't get drunk before you walk it :P Looks like a lot of fun, though I'd be bricking it too!

Sea Sharp · 19-07-2010 09:25PM

I drank a glass of orange juice right after brushing my teeth.

Takeshi_Kovacs · 19-07-2010 09:30PM

Yeh El Camino does look like something that deffo get the adrenalin going, but lots of rock climbers experience much crazier stuff especially free climbers

Takes fair balls do that, watch at 2.35 for some sketchy manuveurs..

Also BASE jumping is something i really admire as well, takes serious guts to walk up to the edge. One of my fave vids is this one with a couple jumping off a cliff on Baffin Island

P.S. that girl is awesome :P

Way back when I was an AH mod, I check up on you and found out where you live.
Then I kept track of you and where you went for the next few years.
See you in Spain.

Crazy enough for you, or do we have to meet in person?

Praetorian Saighdiuir · 19-07-2010 09:37PM
