Adrenaline

Adrenaline is the result of many breath taking ski runs, and risky situations in which us, skiers, like to put ourselves into. There is a point in which going down fast in a piste is not good enough, because the "rush" it gives us is not enough, and that is when we seek the "freeride rush". Like with every drug, each time you need bigger doses, and if the "rush" is not enough, you look for more.

When I go skiing, unconsciously, this is what I look for, my adrenaline shot, my drug.

The moment I'm in the edge of the slope and about to go down, that is the moment in which the heart accelerates, and it does because I'm thinking about all the risks that I'm taking just for fun. It is that rush what makes it all exciting, the danger and the pleasure together in one.


So yes, I'm addicted to this sport, and it is the result of a biochemical reaction. There is no return.

Do you feel like me when you practice skiing, or any other "risky sport"?
