What a bummer! You had an epic trip planned with some dudes or dudettes…and a wrench got thrown in the mix. You still itch for more adventure. Something to get your heart pumping.
Well, Nerve Rush is coming through this week to give you your adrenaline packed fix. Put on your diapers, boys and girls, because these flicks are so intense you may just pee your pants.
Lets roll!
Endless summer is known as the “ultimate surfing movie.” It follows the adventures of big wave riders as they scour the globe in search of the perfect wave. Director Bruce Bowen follows California surfers Mark Hynson, Robert August, and himself as they ride waves with sharks in Australia, step into liquid in West Africa, the clear waters of Hawaii, and the tropical paradise of Tahiti. With essentially their surfboards as all the luggage they need these three friends embark on an epic quest to find the perfect wave all the while embracing different cultures, people, and growing up a bit while traveling the globe.
Endless summer also features one of the greatest soundtracks you will come across.
“You can’t tell how good a wave is until you actually ride it.
This film outlines the story of former hitman, Chev Chelios (Jason Stathem) who is attempting to turn his life around. A former employer who is seeking vengeance against Chev for hanging up the guns in the middle of a job has injected him with a deadly chemical that will end his days if he does not keep his heart rate from falling below a certain level. Chev spends the majority of the film ramping up his adrenaline with reckless abandonment for his body and safety in pursuit of the men that have kidnapped his girlfriend and are trying to kill him off.
Plus, it’s Jason Stathem people. One of the worlds premiere badasses!
“Well, I’m glad to hear that. Listen, I’ve been fatally poisoned, there’s probably a psychopath heading over there to torture and kill you as we speak, but don’t bother getting out of bed, I’ll be there in a flash… Maybe you could fry me up a waffle or something, kay?”
Parkour, slack-liners, and high flying acrobats have nothing on Philippe Petit. In a feat you have to see to believe the 24 year old French man on August 7th, 1974 illegally rigs a high-wire in-between the World Trade Towers of New York city. As a crowd begins to grow below, Petit dances the line for over an hour. The documentary not only outlines a dramatic act of bravery and courage but also addresses an underlining theme of respect and adoration that Philippe was paying to the city of New York and the buildings themselves.
Philippe was a somewhat misunderstood creative genius as the details, thought process, and carrying out of this artistic crime can sometimes be overshadowed by the sheer guts of the act itself. Man on a wire is consistently ranked as one of the top 50 documentaries of all time.
Life should be lived on the edge of life. You have to exercise rebellion: to refuse to tape yourself to rules, to refuse your own success, to refuse to repeat yourself, to see every day, every year, every idea as a true challenge – and then you are going to live your life on a tightrope.
Pete Nessip (Wesley Snipes) plays a Federal Marshall whom is escorting a criminal computer mastermind, via jet, to his new home behind bars. The plane is hi-jacked by a group of sky-diving terrorists interested in the computer nerds hacking skills and a special air-raid scheduled for July 4th in Washington D.C.
In order to bring down the terrorist group led by a former DEA agent gone rogue (Gary Busey), Nessip must be trained in the art of Sky diving at a rapid rate. Aerial acrobatics and uncanny cinematography ensue as Nessips time is running out.
Tid bit: Nessip is actually an anagram for the leading mans last name (Snipes)
Ueli Steck known as “The Swiss Machine” is regarded as one of the worlds best and fastest free climbers in the world. This documentary not only tells the story of Ueli and his record breaking climbs in the Swiss Alps but also shows the balance between chasing shear adventure and putting your life on the line for it. Ueli defines what human potential is capable of if you go for what you believe in regardless of what society defines as possible. Not a movie to watch while you play PartyPoker in the background — it’ll be hard to take your eyes off the screen!
Dangerous 8,000 foot climbs and stunning scenic views accompany Ulei in his quest to climb some of the worlds most difficult summits faster than anyone has ever done before. Ueli is also an avid trail runner and uses it as a big part of his training. Here he explains the difference between his two loves.
It’s simple. You climb as fast as possible. There is one big difference from trail running. If you make a mistake, you’re gonna’ die! So, in a technical speed ascent, I never push my body to its absolute limit. That’s too dangerous. Of course, while training, I push myself as hard as I can. If you run and you get tired, you run slower. On a speed ascent, if you go over your limit, you fall.
The most recent film to make this list is “The Art of Flight.” This film is the snow boarding version of “Super Size Me,” in that everything is done big. Real BIG. From the shots of giant mountain ranges to the filming of snow boarder Travis Rice and friends dropping in on some of the worlds most dangerous snow covered peaks. Avalanches, injuries, and severe weather conditions add an extra element to danger to a sport that already epitomizes pushing your limits in some of the most extreme elements.
The jumps are getting bigger. The consequences are getting heavier.
Sup Brah! Point Break follows Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) as an undercover agent that the FBI is paying to learn to surf big waves in search of what they believe are a gang of beach bum bank robbers that disguise themselves as the ex-presidents. Gnarly surf clips, a bodacious foot chase, and one of the more memorable skydiving scenes you will ever see highlight this adrenaline junkies dream film. Plus, it features Keanu Reeves and the Red Hot Chili Peppers…. nough said.
It’s not tragic to die doing what you love.
“The Human Spider Returns” is a short documentary in a five part series that features some of the most prominent daredevils in the world, any of which could have been included here. This particular entry in the series introduces us to urban free climber Alain Robert (our second frenchman) who is known as the “French Spider Man” for his insane climbing assaults on some of the worlds highest skyscrapers. Following him for nearly two years the film showcases some of his most epic free climbs and introduces us to the one building that has seem to elude him. The 88-storey Petronas Towers of Maylasia. Bare hands, chalk dust, and Alain’s shear nerve are the only thing that stands in his way.
The limit that he is now searching for is a limit that is close to the limit of life and death.
It’s a wonder how Laird Hamilton, Greg Noll, and Jeff Clark float given the weight of their balls! Along the same lines as Dogtown and Z-boys, Riding Giants not only address the culture and lifestyle of a unique sport but also the individuality and freedom that those involved in big wave riding are proud to represent. Fused in are life and death accounts of surfers tackling what would seem insurmountable odds as they battle what can only be classified and Poseidon like waters.
What are you going to do? I’m going to the North Shore to ride big waves and find out who I am.
Get your mind out of the gutter people. This is the story of Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) an adrenaline junkie with no distinction between life and death. His outrageous stunts and disregard for authority land him in prison where the government soon finds and blackmails him. Hired to help bring down a Russian crime ring, Xander performs motorcycle stunts, base jumps from moving vehicles, and snowboarding tricks in an extreme sports version of James Bond.
Yeah. Cars, boards, bikes. I like anything fast enough to do something stupid in.
If you’re looking for your adrenaline fix this may be it. This film has got you covered. As three extreme sport athletes travel to the Austrian Alps to film a commercial in which they are being chased by an avalanche they accidentally catch a Serbian war criminal on camera. Adventure ensues from white water rafting, big mountain skiing, extreme snowboarding, skydiving, motorcycle stunts, base jumping, and monster helicopter stunts as they try and stay alive. Extreme Ops dials it up a notch to meet all your Nerve Rush fantasies.
Conquers of the useless is what they call themselves. 180 Degrees South is a documentary that shows us in detail world explorer Yvon Chouinard and friend Doug Tompkins as they traveled from sunny California in 1968, to the deep edges of a world less traveled in Patagonia. American adventurer Jeff Johnson follows in Yvon’s foot steps as he traces the exact path Yvon and friend Doug took. Jeff climbs ice capped mountains, surfs unchartered big waves, rock climbs, hits white waters, and sails rough waters in raging storms. Along the way Jeff discovers environmental disasters that threaten the once pure sanctuaries that Yvon encountered years before, as wells as noble heros that fight to preserve them.
Fear of the unknown is the greatest fear of all. But we just went for it.
Known as the Skyliners this is a film that follows a group of friends as they stare death in the face by combining BASE jumping, rock climbing, slack lining, and high wire balancing acts above mountain tops and in between skyscrapers and famous land marks around the world. There is a scence in which one of them does a handstand on the edge of a cliff thousands of feet above the earth. That should tell you enough about how nuts these cats are.
A free man is someone who is true to himself. Who follows his dreams and turns them into reality. You have to put fear to one side, it will always be there, but you have to follow your path. It’s all possible if you put enough energy into it. A free man, to me, is someone who tries to make his dreams come true.
Got a couple of kids that like to jump from couch to couch, seem to break bones every other week, and are always in to mischief? Sit down and enjoy Surf’s Up with them .
The story of young penguin Cody Maverick (Shia LaBeouf) from Antartica that idolizes a big wave surfing Pen Gu legend, Big Z (Jeff Bridges). Important life lessons and extreme adventure and danger ensue as Cody tries to win the memorial “Big Z surf off.”
It’s gonna be amazing. Honestly, it’ll be the best wave of my life, and I hope the cameras are rolling because you’re gonna want to watch it over and over and over and over again. It’s gonna be awesome.
With so many amazing armchair adrenaline junkie movies out there we surely could not get to them all. What are some of your favorites? Post to comments and lets debate.

This is a guest post from Nate Damm who not only is a fantastic writer but, last year, spent 7.5 months walking across America. Yes, WALKING ACROSS AMERICA. I asked Nate to share some of his thoughts and images from the trip. You can reach him at Nate Damm or message him on Twitter.
##
I’m Nate Damm, and from February 26 to October 15 of 2011, I walked across the United States. My route took me from from Lewes, Delaware to San Francisco, California. I walked across/in Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and California. I still haven’t calculated exactly how many miles I walked, but my best guess would be around 3,200.
My training strategy was a bit lazy, as I was living in Maine prior to the walk beginning and the winter temperatures kept me indoors. The plan was to get in shape as I went and take it slow at first. This turned out to be a good strategy, actually, and within a few weeks things were going pretty smoothly.
Logistically, walking across a continent can get pretty tricky. Water and food sources are constantly on the mind of a walker. And on top of that, you have to find a place to sleep each night. I was on a very tight budget, so usually this meant finding a hidden place off the side of the road where I could set up my tent (hopefully) undetected.
A typical day for me would start at around 7 AM, sometimes earlier, sometimes later. A lot of when I woke up in the morning depended on how secure of a sleeping spot I had. If it was a heavily wooded area where I knew nobody would see me, I’d often sleep in. On nights when I was hiding in a shed or in a small patch of trees in a residential area, it would be much earlier so I could get up and out before the sun came up.
After waking up I would first take my tent down and pack everything up, then enjoy a relaxing breakfast. Usually this was something small that required no preparation, such as Pop Tarts and an energy drink of some kind (unhealthy, I know).
I’d shoot for at least 6-8 miles straight first thing in the morning to get a good chunk of my daily mileage out of the way, then slow down from there. Afternoons were usually filled with many breaks and taking time to chat with anyone who was interested.
My favorite time to walk was in the evening around dusk, so I would spend that time watching the sun set and finding a place to sleep. Once I did, I’d set up my tent and usually just sit outside and read or catch up on phone calls. Dinner was usually some sort of canned pasta, eaten cold out of the can. Cooking was just not something I wanted to take the time or energy for.
The typical day was often not overly exciting, but that’s the way I liked it. The pace of an on-foot lifestyle is extremely slow, which definitely can take some getting used to. I grew to love it quickly.
Without a doubt, the best part of the walk was the random acts of kindness that I experienced. Almost daily, and sometimes multiple times each day, complete strangers would stop and help me out in whatever way they could.
Sometimes this was a simple conversation, others it was the gift of a cold drink or sandwich. Many times I would meet someone as I was walking down the road and begin talking to them, and an hour later I would be freshly showered and eating dinner with an entire family, then spending the night in their guest room.
One of my favorite memories of kindness from the walk was from a day in West Virginia. It was around 30 degrees out, and snow was forecasted for the quickly approaching night with temperatures dipping down to 15 degrees. After a 20+ mile day I was cold, exhausted and nervous about camping in such cold weather, as my gear was not meant for temperatures that low. As I was heading out of town to find a place to camp in the woods, I heard a shout from the house to my left. A raspy voice yelled out, “Hey! Ya want some cookies?!” I could not see the person who was shouting to me, but yelled back, “Hell yes I want some cookies!” A man stepped out into his driveway and invited me in, then after talking for a while said I could sleep in his guest room for the night. He took me on a driving tour of the area, including a visit to the farm he grew up on, which was nestled deep in the West Virginia hills on a long dirt road. It was an amazing place that still had water gravity fed into the house from a spring in the hills. He then cooked me one of the most massive meals I’d ever eaten in my life. I woke up the next morning to fresh snow on the ground, feeling quite glad that I hadn’t woken up in it and had made a great new friend in the process.
In Nevada, I randomly met a guy named Rick, and we started talking about life on the road. Earlier in his life he had spent 9 years living in his truck, traveling all over the U.S. and Canada. He put 600,000 miles on his Ford F150 during that time and went wherever he wanted. It was a nice conversation, but eventually we parted ways as I had to continue West.
The next day a truck rumbled up next to me, and it was Rick. He was ready to help me out with car support and camp with me for a few days. Over the following few days Rick traveled with me, would give me water and food every 5 miles or so and then camp with me at night. I learned that he had been a POW in Vietnam, where he was also wounded. He escaped from the POW camp to safety, which was a story that was intense beyond anything I’d ever heard. Around our nightly campfires he shared stories from combat that blew my mind and brought tears to my eyes on several occasions.
He was a cancer survivor, and had also been in a coma for 2 ½ months after suffering a stroke. He had once been given 6 months to live because of a brain tumor, but opted for a very risky surgery which ended up working. Rick was the toughest and most interesting person I’d ever met. One night he told me, “I’m losing my vision, so every night I sit out and watch the sunset. I could lose my vision anytime. I’ve soaked up everything I can, my whole life’s been that way.” Eventually Rick needed to head home, and I needed to prepare myself for my final state border crossing into California.
As he hopped in his truck, Rick looked at me and said something I’ll never forget, “Remember, there’s no end to the adventures unless you put an end to them yourself, you control everything, keep going.”
The hospitality I experienced and stories I heard throughout the walk far exceeded any expectations I had prior to hitting the road.
The last section of the walk was bittersweet. I was excited to see friends and family after a long 7 ½ months on the road, but nervous about what would come next. Walking was the only thing I’d really enjoyed doing in my life up to that point, so I knew it would be a tough adjustment when the time came to settle back into a somewhat normal lifestyle. I did my best to enjoy every moment as much as possible as I wound my way out of the Sierras, through Napa Valley and toward San Francisco.
The final day was a whirlwind and went by quickly. Joined by a fantastic group of friends and family, I made my way over the Golden Gate Bridge and along the rocky coast on a beautiful hiking trail. Before I knew it I was walking through one final neighborhood, down one last hill and then found myself standing in sand. I approached the ocean in front of me slowly and rather calmly, but once my feet hit the water I was struck by the magnitude of what I’d just done. I was a bit more emotional than I’d care to admit, but it was a wonderful moment.
I’m currently living in the great state of Maine. I spend most of my time these days walking (of course), spending time with friends and working on projects like Gadlr and other geeky Internet stuff. Most of this upcoming summer will be spent living in my Subaru and exploring new places, while also visiting many of the people who helped me last year on the walk, which should be a blast.
In April, we wrote briefly of an AT&T contest that called for an adventure filmmaker to hang out with and film Paul Rodriguez, a professional skateboarder. Fast-forward a few months, the winner has been chosen and the video above is a result of winner Andrew Lovgren’s hard and creative work. Shot in southern California.
![Zombie Race / Run For Your Lives [Race Profile]](https://www.nerverush.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/zombie-race.jpg)
Are you ready for the zombie apocalypse?
Run For Your Lives, a 5K obstacle race, prepares anxious humans for a post-apocalyptic world. A world where zombies roam the streets in search of brains.
First organized in 2011 at Camp Ramblewood in Baltimore, MD, Run For Your Lives attracted 12,000 people and in 2012 expanded to 11 more locations. Registrants can either sign up as a zombie or as obstacle race participants. Zombies are encouraged to show up in their own costume, though they are supplied with wardrobe and professional make-up.
At the race in Amesbury Sports Park, I saw cowboy zombies, clown zombies, graduation zombies — you name it.
So how does the race work, exactly? Well, like other obstacle races, participants trudge through mud and physically taxing obstacles. Throughout the course, zombies are positioned to try and steal one of 3 flags that each participant wears. It’s similar to flag football, though much more startling–I had zombies sneak up from behind, dart out from behind trees and leap up out of ditches. Fun stuff.
Participants are placed in waves of 300-450 people, depending on the course. Obstacles are natural and man-made. At the race in Amesbury, I ran through chest deep water and mud, crawled under an electric fence, sprinted through a zombie-infested open field and nearly fell into a trap following a sign through a door that said, “Free Cookies in Here!”
Throughout, but mostly after the race, the Apocalypse Party features food, drinks, vendors, live music and games. Camping is highly encouraged.
With a shot gun, of course. And some duct tape.
Despite a triumphant battle, my third flag was ungraciously yanked from my loins about two-thirds of the way into the course. Of the 5 other members on my team, one person survived! Again…shot gun.
Shot on location throughout Alberta, Canada, this promotional video shows off beautiful Alberta. Didn’t know much about Alberta before watching this video, but now thinking it’s worth a trip. Apparently this is one of many promotional commercials. Time to wade through the rest.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Seattle BASE Clan, a group of BASE jumpers out of Seattle, Washington. They’ve got some gnarly videos over on their Facebook page. This one features jumps in Twin Falls, California and Moab.
Show them some love!

Ian is a 20-something adventurer and explorer participating in the Inca Rally this August.

In a time when dedicated race tracks didn’t exist, and paved roads were rare outside of city limits, rallying was the only way to race from point A to point B; and that’s exactly what racing enthusiasts did. In 1894 for example, the challenge was to get yourself and your car from Paris to Rouen, 79 miles. The winning car completed the time in 6 hours and 48 minutes with an average speed of only 11 miles an hour.
And there it was, the birth of the first rally.
For today’s thrillseeking adventurists, the premise is still the same: get your car, driver, and navigator from one place to another as fast as you can. You may have heard of such world-class rallies as the Dakar and WRC, but did you know about these 7 alternatives for the gut-wrenching traveler?
[youtube id=”DB6wVqTIgIc” width=”600″ height=”350″]
The first ever trans-continental rally was held between Peking and Paris in 1907, an epic challenge between a Prince and a Pauper. 5 cars set out from Peking, and 4 made it to Paris. They set out to prove that man and machine could go anywhere. Fast forward 90 years, and the Peking to Paris rally has been running ever since 1997.
What makes it different? Classes of cars range from 1920 right through to 1975. A 33 day adventure driving vintage and classic cars half-way around the world through some of the most remote scenery on earth.
Dates: 28 May – 29 June.
Entry Fee: Contactfor an information pack.
[youtube id=”77KteGA_Uaw” width=”600″ height=”350″]
The Dakar may have been moved to South America (in 2009) due to security threats in Mauritania. But the Budapest-Bamako keeps the trans-Saharan driving adventure alive. The route takes you from Hungary through Austria, Italy, France, Spain, Morocco, Mauritania, and Mali before reaching Bamako.
What makes it different? A charity rally for those who’ve dreamed about the Dakar, Africa, the Sahara and hitting the open dirt under extreme circumstances. It’s a minimal assistance event, and there’s an adventure (touring) and competition (race) category. A two week drive in hostile terrain.
Dates: 25 January – 13 February.
Entry Fee: Variable, depending on entry date and category.

Organised by The Adventurists, the Mongol Rally is a 10,000 mile race from the Goodwood Circuit (UK) to Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia). There is no set course, you choose whatever path you like. Some teams choose the southern route (Turkey, Armenia, Iran, etc.) and others a northern route (Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan). The ‘unroute’ brings a whole new twist to the race. Picking the course is like being dealt a hand in texas hold em poker, you don’t know what you’re going to get but you have to keep on playing. Driving over mountains, across deserts, and through some of the planets more remote terrain.
What makes it different? The Mongol Rally has rules: tiny cars (1.2L or 125cc bike), under 10 years old, unsupported, with some of the profits going to charity.
Dates: 13 July – 24 August.
Entry Fee: £714. The Mongol Charity Rally, a cheaper alternative, and a pure charity rally.

“7 Countries, 7 Checkpoints, 7 Parties, 7000km in 17 Days!” The Put Foot Rallyis for those who see themselves as explorers, unafraid to chart the uncharted, unfazed by running out of petrol or losing a tyre… in the middle of a pack of lions or herd of elephants. This adventure is for those who listen to the Garmin and Tom-Tom girls solely for their sexy voices.
What makes it different? The PutFoot Rally has checkpoints along the way. The route can be determined by your race team, but for talk you into a common route, they have these 5 checkpoints (parties) including South Africa, Zambia, and Malawi.
Dates: 20 June – 6 July.
Entry Fee: 14,000Rand
Organised by The Travel Scientists , the Central Asia Rally is a road race from Budapest to Tajikistan via the Ukraine, Southern Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Afghanistan. An unsupported rally where you drive whatever you like, with optional participation in charity projects along the way. 18 days and 8,000 kilometres.
What makes it different? There are no vehicle rules, and 3 race categories: Competition (GPS scavenger hunt), Touring (explore the route at your own pace), and Extreme (vehicle over 25 years old).
Dates: 26 May – 12 June.
Entry Fee: Variable, depending on entry date and category. The Silk Road Race, a cheaper alternative, and a pure charity rally.

The Inca Rally is a new contender on the rally scene. Another charity rally. 8,000km from Peru to Guyana following in the steps of the legendary tale of El Dorado. No support crew, and more-often-than-not no GPS. Along the way, racers will climb vertiginous Andean peaks, cruise through vast plains, bask in the Caribbean sun and plunge into the Amazonian basin. There is no official route – just parties, events, and charity visits organised in each capital for the drivers who make it that far.
What makes it different? The adventure begins in Lima, where your haggling skills will be tested as you try to find the best possible machine that your limited pesos can buy. You may break down in the middle of nowhere and the closest spanner may be a lama ride away. You may decide to take a detour and end up in a peculiar rural festival for a few days. Or you may discover new routes that were not on the map. That is the beauty of the Inca Rally; you never really know what could happen.
Dates: 1 August – 21 August
Entry Fee: £200
The Alcan 5000 deserves a mention simply because of the sheer toughness of the event. It’s the oldest, coldest winter road rally in the world. The rally route starts in Kirkland (Seattle) and heads north through Canada to Alaska where it finishes up in Anchorage. 4,490 miles of mostly snowpack, ice, falling snow and blowing snow. A competitive adventure that rewards experience, good judgement, consistency, reliability, and resourcefulness.
What makes it different? Didn’t I say that already? The oldest, coldest winter road rally in the world. Over 90% of the route is scenic touring, scoring is in short sections with equal penalty for early or late arrival.
Dates: 18 August – 26 August
Entry Fee: $2,900
As you may have noticed, not all rallies are created equal. Some race simply for the thrill of adventure, some for profit (with a charity element), and others are pure charity rallies. You want adventure and excitement? Pull a team together, pick one of these multi-country rallies, and get out there!
