Skyaking
This extreme sport is exactly what it sounds like: Skydiving and kayaking. Invented by Miles Daisher, this involves jumping from an airplane, flying at a height of 13,000 feet and then sailing on a lake while you are in a tiny boat, with a paddle in your hand. Would you dare to try it? This might read easy but is not actually so.
Muni (Mountain Unicycling)
Have you ever thought, while riding a bike on a dangerous mountain path with every possibility of imminent death, what it would be like to lose one of your bike’s wheels? That is exactly what this extreme sport feels like. Any takers? We sure are interested. However, make sure you have high levels of stamina for this one out there.
Free-cliff diving
This sport is straightforward. All you have to do is find a cliff facing a water body and jump feet first into it. The only problem is, you won’t be using any sort of breathing apparatus or scuba gear like fins. You have to hold your breath, until you resurface. Well, if you are thinking extreme sports, it will not get simpler than this. Perhaps it is just the starting point for addiction to more advance categories of extreme sports.
Extreme Ironing
Ever wondered what it would be like, to combine a really cool sport, with an absolutely dull household chore? At last, it has happened, in the form of extreme ironing. In this extreme sport, all you have to do is neatly press a garment, in an insane situation, like on top of a mountain, or while you are water skating. No sport will get more insane than this, ladies and gentlemen. Trust us; this sure has a lot of takers too.
Wife Carrying Competition
This extreme sport will show how far you are willing to go, for the love of your life (literally!). It is fairly simple. Just carry your wife on your shoulders along a course of over 250 meters. It is held in Finland, every July as an annual event. If this doesn’t say true love, then what will? As Rabindranath Tagore said, “There are two kinds of adventurers; those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won’t.” Make your mind up, on what kind of extreme sports lover you want to be.
All these sports are made to set the new benchmark for craziness. Apart from being crazy, they are fun and creative too. Therefore, if you are looking for some excitement and fun, these extreme sports should definitely be in your bucket list. What’s life without a little fun anyway?
