It is crazy to know that there are things more extreme than the ones you have seen, but yes, that’s life, and that’s the world where we live in. This is more bizarre when you realized the existence of crazy things such as extreme sports, but today, when you say “extreme”, you’ll really mean it.
Extreme sports have become something great and if sometimes not so extreme as many people would expect, but now be ready because we’re going to see some cases where people took the word “extreme” into another huge level. Either due to the dangerousness per se or the difficult at the time of getting the things necessary to carry them on, these are the least popular extreme sports in the world.
This one is for all those who don’t have enough surfing or skateboarding in normal conditions and places since Volcano boarding takes these two activities and make them more dangerous and risky. Volcano boarding or surfing consists of a hike up to the slope of volcanoes and then slide down either sitting or standing on a board, sometimes made of metal or wood.
People need to be careful about this, since you can reach high speeds and then fall off the board, being cut by the ashes or even being poisoned by the gasses near the volcano, and all that without having in count the dangers of molten lava. Nicaragua is one of the favorite places to do this activity for the public.
This is another bizarre way to feel the adrenalin in your body. The practitioners of this sport get onto a train in motion, either seized at the sides, below the wheels, or standing on the roof, taking the risk of falling off at high speeds or even touch a high voltage cable. There is nothing much else to say about this besides its extreme risks.
In this one, we only need a board to lie down and “drive” through avenues, mostly with traffic in order to use the cars, trucks and every vehicle as an obstacle. This came up as a modification of the traditional skate, as the drivers find out that lying down they were able to reach more speed and after that, they increased both the width and the length of the boards to use them as a coat.
Zorbing is the recreational practice in which people roll downhill into a sphere, usually made of transparent plastic. Spherism is usually practiced on a subtle inclination, but can also be practiced on a flat surface or even on water for more control of the person. Due to the lack of hills in some places, some operators build the wood or metal ramps to create slopes.
However zorbing is seen as a fun activity, if you want to practice it you need to be careful. Depending on the tilt of the hills, you can reach high speeds which can be very dangerous for the users at the time of braking and this can result in injuries or even more severe consequences.
This might be considered as a show, but it is a sport. With big risks, wing walking consists of, as the name indicates, walking on the wings of a plane. Everything started in the first world war, as walking on the wings was a necessity back then due to the damages on the plane. There are no secrets about the risks of this activity and its consequences if you try to do it without any supervision or protection.
