5 Bucket-List Experiences For Adrenaline Junkies

Adrenaline junkies are always looking for their next adventure, and unfortunately finding ways to accelerate your heart rate can lead to redundant activities if you dont know where to look. Its time to put away the bungie cord and the parachute, because bungie jumping and sky-diving are so last year. They have already been done by just about everyone, including a 92-year-old former US president.

If you love adventure and a spike in adrenaline, here are 5 better ways to get your next fix.

Flying in a Doors-Off Helicopter

Flying in a regular helicopter over your favorite city is no longer going to be seen as an adventure after you try it with a doors off helicopter! FlyNyon offers the experience of a lifetime as the wind whips through your hair over your favorite city.

They even have something called the adventure seat, for the real daredevils. The adventure seat requires riders to unbuckle from the middle seat and sit on the ledge of the chopper with their feet hanging out over the skyline. Talk about a rush!

Learning to Race Cars on a Speedway

Nothing will scare the you-know-what out of you as easily as racing a car over 100mph on the famed Laguna Seca Raceway. Lucas Oil School of Racing has teamed up with Cooper Tires , to make you feel like a badass on the raceway, as well as teach you more about how to operate your own vehicle. Here you will learn to tell the difference between the quality of tire brands (we thought Cooper had the best grip), giving you the confidence to hug turns faster than you ever thought possible.

With nothing holding you back after you graduate race school, you have free reign of the racetrack. Before you leave, you will race your fellow classmates around the track to see who was the fastest and who improved the most. If you are bold enough, you may just take home the Ricky Bobby award, because if you arent first youre last!
