00:06Oh God. Oh God, yes. Oh my God.
00:13Trapeze. To me, that's the world of Ringling Brothers or Cirque du Soleil.
00:17But it's one of Sergey Brin's many high adrenaline passions,
00:20even featured in this Google Glass video.
00:23How does it feel to soar like that?
00:25I'm really going to try.
00:26I'm Business Insider's Madeline Stone, and I'm going to find out.
00:30I'm feeling pretty nervous. I'm scared of heights,
00:33so I'm really hoping I can just get myself off the platform.
00:36It doesn't look too tall from here, but I'm sure it'll be different once I'm up there.
00:42I try really hard to convince myself to climb up the ladder and get to the platform.
00:48She brings the bar over to me and tells me to grab on.
00:52Oh God. Oh God, yes. Oh my God.
00:56And I'm trying really hard to convince myself to jump off,
00:59and then suddenly I am, and I'm flying through the air.
01:03Ah!
01:06Legs up!
01:08All right. Look up at the bar.
01:11Ah!
01:13It was a lot of fun. It actually was. I'm like shaking.
01:18Like just getting yourself to jump is an exhilarating feeling.
01:22I want to do it again because I couldn't get my legs up.
01:29I could see how you could get addicted to the rush of adrenaline that comes when you're flying.
01:34I don't know if I'll come back as often as Sergey,
01:37but maybe I'll come back and bring a few friends sometime.
01:40For Sergey Brin, it's not just trapeze.
01:43It's skydiving and biking and ultimate frisbee.
01:47I think it really says a lot about him as a person
01:49and his need to push his body and find that source of adrenaline
01:52to always be challenging himself.
01:54Two.
01:55Three.
01:56Three.
