Forget swimming lengths at 6am, or kicking a ball around with friends after work, these are the sports – the extreme sports – that we want to be doing, right now…
Wingsuit flying
Wingsuit flying or wingsuiting as it is sometimes know, involves getting into a special jumpsuit and flying the human body through the air. The wingsuit adds surface area to the human body enabling significant increase in lift. You essentially take on the persona of a flying squirell, but with a way better view.
Freestyle Powerisers Stilts
This up-and-coming extreme sport probably looks a lot easier than it actually is, but seriously want to give it a go! After strapping these stilts-come-pogo sticks to your feet you’re free to jump and fly about like grasshopper on speed.
Volcano Boarding
Yes, you may have tried snowboarding, or even sand boarding, but have you raced down an active 2,380 ft volcano at the speed of 50 mph with only a board for protection? Probably not – yet. This is considered by many thrill-seekers around the globe as their top extreme sport of choice, and who are we to argue?So head to the foothills of Nicaragua’s Cerro Negro mountain and give it a go for yourself.
