Luis Enrique Quotes

What makes climbing great for me, strangely enough, is this life-and-death aspect. It sounds trite to say, I know, but climbing isn't just another game. It isn't just another sport. It's life itself. Which is what makes it so compelling and also what makes it so impossible to justify when things go bad.

This is a crazy sport.

This sport's crazy.

Anything that's slightly dangerous and gets the heart rate going is my kind of workout.

I'm an adrenaline guy. I like to do stuff that gets my blood pumping, like roller coasters or jumping out of planes. I'm into all that crazy stuff.

I love to go bungee jumping, jump out of planes, ride motorbikes, do kickboxing. I love all that stuff.

I jumped between two seven-story buildings in Los Angeles, launching from one rooftop to the other with ramps.

I base jumped off one of the highest buildings in the world.

Extreme sports tricks are becoming increasingly complex, the courses ever more challenging and crashes all too common.

Those extreme-sports kids today are good, but they have it easy. Try falling off of a motorcycle going 70 or 80 miles per hour on asphalt. Believe me, nothing equals it.

I do freestyle jumping. Been doing since I was eight years old and can't quit. I'm addicted. I've broken many bones, but I ride with confidence. It's my thing - there's no high on earth like it. It's my hobby and I really enjoy it.

I don't think people would climb mountains or jump off bridges with parachutes or kayak Class V rapids if those things didn't offer the brief and horrible illusion of imminent death. They would just be complicated, time-consuming endeavors that we'd steer well clear of because they got in the way of real life.

At least 50 times. I've jumped off a building, jumped off a cliff in a car. I've been in bedrooms when women came in with knives and guns.

One of the things that's interesting to me is I find things like caffeine and stunts actually relax me. When they're putting a bit of gel on my arm and lighting me on fire, or when I'm about to go into a high-speed car chase or rev a motorcycle up pretty fast, I find everything else around me slows down.

I've always been addicted to adrenaline.

I felt good when I did a stunt, and if it was really dangerous - like if I got out on a horse or a bull that was rank, or jumped out of this building on a bag - I felt great.

I was always an adrenaline junkie, always competitive, always a speed freak.

I'm doing some more dangerous stuff on a weekly basis than professional stunt men are doing.

I wouldn't say I do that much extreme sport - maybe one day.

I ran a marathon, completed a mud run and jumped from a plane.

I have run with the bulls in Pamplona. I have raced with Mario Andretti in Indianapolis. I have climbed the Great Wall of China. I have jumped out of airplanes over Kansas.

I know it is a dangerous sport but this is something I like.

I'm an adrenaline guy. I need to feel it.

I never went bungee jumping. The closest I did was I was born.

The bigger the game the better. I'm an adrenaline junkie. I feed off big crowds and noise.
