Getting That Adrenaline Rush With Extreme Sports

By Damian Papworth

Are you a keen sports person who is looking to try to branch out into other areas and try out other activities? if so, then trying some extreme sports could be just what you are looking for. They might not be something that everyone is going to want to try, but for those who are looking for some serious excitement then they truly are the best way to go.

So what are some common extreme sports that you could try?

Well, one of the best would certainly have to be sky diving. This may not be a sport that people will commonly get involved with on a regular basis and then go and compete at, but it certainly is one of the most extreme activities that you could try. Just think of what you are doing - hurling yourself out of a plane which is travelling at high speeds thousands of feet above the ground. Is anything is going to get your heart pumping it will most certainly be this!

If you want to try to gain a similar sensation of leaping through the air but would rather not pay the high costs that are often associated with sky-diving you could instead opt for bungee jumping. In many ways this is something that is ever more nerve wracking than jumping from a plane, as the sensation of the ground rushing towards you is even more real.

Another great extreme sport is mountain climbing and ab-sailing. This can vary hugely depending on where you are doing the climbing, from simple indoor artificial walls to some really dangerous rock faces. In addition you can use all the harnesses and supports in the world or simply go with a your guts and determination.

Of course there are more standard sports that are widely practiced, but are also thought to be extreme as well. Such things as snowboarding and surfing are both done competitively all over the world and enjoyed by millions of people, and yet are still thought to be extreme due to the dangerous edge they bring.

These are just some of the many extreme sports out there for you to try. - 31489
