Like to live dangerously eh? The King's Gambit, Bird's opening, Stonewall attack, Blackmar Diemer Gambit. for white, Dutch Defense for Black. There really aren't too many other openings for Black where you can reasonably get away with pushing your f pawn early, but some people insist that the Latvian gambit , kind of a King's Gambit for black, is a good opening but I really doubt it. you can find links I am sure.
F-Pawn Repertoire
Sort:
For Black there is the Schliemann against the Spanish
I think you mean aggressive f pawn pushing right? If so, the Bird is not for you. There are many f pushes in e4 opening sidelines.
1... e5 2. f4 you get the king's gambit.
1... c5 2. f4 you get the grand prix
1... e6 2. f4 you get the la bourdonnais though I don't know if it is what you are looking for. You must look into it.
1... d5 you don't have any good f pawn pushes as far as I can tell.
1... c6 you have 2.d4 d5 3. f3 but again I don't know what the general style of this opening is.
Hope those point you in the right direction.
1. e4 d5 2. d4 transposes into the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit, and if accepted with ... dxe4, you play 3.f3, which is an f-pawn push. Now don't ask me whether the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit is good.
I like this Bird setup
You are not alone, I'm a huge fan of f-pawn pushing too, in my opinion it is a very strong pawn if used correctly. after castling, I almost always play f4, or sometimes before castling (KGA-Bishop's Gambit) is my regular opening, I am considering to study Bird and play it with regularity

My opening of choice as White for the past year has been the King's Gambit. I doubt I'll stick with it much longer, but I think I've learned a lot about what you can get away with and still keep your King safe. Sometimes in f4 games the King will seem wide open, but Black still can't get at him and wastes moves trying to.
Depending on what Black's up to, I often play f4 against the Sicilian, not right away like in the Grand Prix, but within the next couple moves after the exchange on d4 and having brought out my Queenside Knight.
I have decided to start a repertoire with lots of f-pawn pushing. What would be some good openings to consider? Links to websites and/or chess.com articles confronting these openings would be apprceciated highly.
Thanks,
