If you’re a daredevil and love it when your blood is racing around your body, pumping at the speed of light, you might be interested in exploring some new activities that are sure to thrill and excite you. There are lots of possibilities to explore here and some are definitely going to give you the thrill ride you seek. Let’s explore some of the best options.
Skateboarding, Snowboarding, And Surfing
Don’t get the wrong idea here, these not exactly the same sport but there are similarities. For instance, every option on this list requires you to have the right level of balance and control over your body. You will also be using your body to move the boards in similar ways regardless of whether you’re racing down a half-pipe or surfing the wave. Usually, if you’re good at one of these sports then you’ll be able to master the rest of them. While this isn’t always the case, it’s quite common to do all three if you are given the opportunity.
You can get started by exploring different snowboards, surfboards, or skateboards. Be aware that each option is dangerous and there is always the risk of serious injuries when you engage in an activity like this. If you’re not careful, you can end up with some nasty bruises and even a few hospital trips. That’s why it’s recommended that you take some lessons rather than just jumping in solo.
Base Jumping
This is often considered to be the most dangerous sport in the world. It’s appeared in a variety of blockbuster films, most notably the Mission Impossible and James Bond franchises. This is more dangerous than skydiving or bungee jumping. Essentially, base jumping requires you to jump off a ledge, cliff, or building and then open your parachute. The danger here comes from the amount of time you have to react. There are literally seconds to open the chute and this doesn’t give a lot of time for things to go wrong. It can also be coupled with wingsuit flying which is also dangerous. Here like a bird, you’ll be riding the currents. If you hit the wrong current you could easily crash or lose your height completely.
Pothole Diving
Finally, you might want to consider pothole diving. This is based on jumping through holes in the ground into underwater caverns and then swimming around to find a way out. This often includes diving underwater and shimmying through tight spaces. As such, it’s certainly not for those who feel claustrophobic but it’s definitely a thrilling ride for anyone else who might like to explore underground.
Could one of these sports be right for you? You might think that you’re in the wrong area of the world for an activity like this. But don’t be so sure. You might just find that there are a group of avid adrenaline junkies just like you around the corner from your property who love these activities and are always looking for new people to join their adventures.
