TOP 10 ADVENTURE SPORTS IN THE WORLD PRESENTED BY: KHYATI CHAUHAN 17202166
Top 10 adventure sports
1. Heli-skiing • Heli-skiing is down-hill snowboarding with an exciting twist. Forget the normal ski lift, Heli-skiing is accessed by a helicopter. The skiers are taken to the mountains onboard the helicopter and are then unloaded with a guide.
2. Volcano Boarding • Volcano boarding involves zooming down an active Volcano at a high speed of 90km/hr and using your heels to steer & brake.
3. Downhill Mountain Biking • Downhill mountain biking is extreme no doubt, but quite a popular adventurous activity. This involves biking down the hills with suspension bikes that quickly glide over rocks and treeroots.
4. Fresh Water Cave Diving • Scuba diving is just too simple a task for the thrill seekers, that’s why they notch it up a bit with fresh water cave diving. Factors such as visibility, strong water currents and lack of proper equipment make this such a risky sport! Crazy stuff!
5. Sky Diving • Made popular thanks to films like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, sky diving is one activity that is on everyone’s to-do list. The thrill of jumping off a plane at 10,000 feet is like nothing else in this world!
6. Bouldering • That’s rock climbing minus all the safety equipments and ropes. Yes, the normal rock-climbing adventure with safety precautions is just not enough for some people! Bouldering is a big sport all over the world and is practiced on heights ranging from 20ft to 30ft.
7. Kite Surfing • An extreme combination of water boarding and paragliding, kite surfing involves the surfer moving through the waves and propelling himself forward with a controllable power kite.
8. Ice Climbing • Ice climbing usually involves ascending frozen waterfalls or other ice formations on the rocks with the help of ropes and other special equipment. Colorado’s Ouray Ice Park was the first and most popular park devoted exclusively to this extreme sport.
9. Micro Flying • Flying in a two-seater has its own thrill. No wonder then that this sport is quite a popular one. The season for micro flying in India is from October to March and the best sites are Mysore (old airport), Jakkur (Bangalore) and Tambaram (Chennai).
10. Bull riding • This dangerous sport involves staying on top of the bull while the large animal tries to throw you off. According to the American tradition, the rider needs to stay on the bull for a complete 8 seconds. You can also opt for a far less risky sport - mechanic bull riding in various places around the world.
