Star Tripping

Star Tripping

Warning: Star tripping is an activity that can be dangerous if done incorrectly. Please trip within the presence of responsible adults whom you trust.

Star Tripping is a new fad quickly spreading among the teenagers of the United States. The process of star tripping entails a person staring up at the night sky and, while focusing on a star, spins in place 15 times. Another person with a bright light (most popular is a flashlight) will approach the spinning person and shine the light directly into their eyes. This causes the spinning person to experience a short "black out" and will fall to the ground.

There have been no studies performed to study any potential health hazards. There have been several personal experiences that included a "star tripping hangover" which was described as a minor headache (most likely from the bright light). There have also been claims that people were 'addicted' to star tripping; however, there exist no proof to confirm or deny this claim.

About an our or two ago I went star tripping with my 3 cousins. I spun around looking at a star and when he shinded the light in my eyes I dropped. I got really muddy.... Any way I didn't want to get any more muddy so we tried the drive way bad choice... I spun around and when he shined the light I couldn't stop running and fell right in front of his house... Beast time.. But I got a bruised ellbow :cry :cry :cry

I went star tripping last night in my back yard with a few friends. It was so funny! A couple of other people tripped before me, and they were pretty funny to watch. Then, I went, and as I was spinning, I could hear my friend telling me that I was a really good spinner. After 30 spins, he shined the flashlight in my eyes and I just kind of sat down, not knowing where the ground was! I thought it was to my side or over my head. It felt like I just kept falling. It was a really strange feeling, but super fun!

Ya know, you're telling people to get lives despite the fact that you're wasting your own berating them, this seems a bit backwards dontcha think?

I did this at my birthday party with several friends. We all went over and over and it was really fun! Only injury was when my friend tried to catch my sister and accidentally stuck her knee into her stomach...ouch...

Although I have never tried this game myself, my sister has, and it sounds like a lot of fun. I am going to go and gather my friends tonight and give this game a shot! Wish me luck!
