A need for speed and unique experiences has led to the creation of several sports made to satisfy adrenaline fanatics. You’ve probably seen videos of people skateboarding downhill or riding on street luges, but if you’re looking for something more, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s a short list of the 5 sports that are too extreme even for the X Games.
Wingsuit Flying
Wingsuit flying is probably the closest humans can achieve to flying without machines. This sport is a variation of the “traditional” sky diving where the jumper dons a specially made suit that turns them from a four-limbed human into a flying squirrel. These suits have wings along the sides of the body, starting from the wrists and ending at the feet, and a third wing is a flap of material that connects both legs. The wings have air pockets that reduce the speed of their fall from a helicopter.
