A need for speed and unique experiences has led to the\ncreation of several sports made to satisfy adrenaline fanatics. You\u2019ve probably\nseen videos of people skateboarding downhill or riding on street luges, but if\nyou\u2019re looking for something more, you\u2019ve come to the right place. Here\u2019s a\nshort list of the 5 sports that are too extreme even for the X Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wingsuit Flying<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wingsuit flying is probably the closest humans can achieve to flying without machines. This sport is a variation of the \u201ctraditional\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paraskiing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Oh, so heli-skiing \u2013 the sport involving jumping out of a helicopter\nto ski down steep mountain slopes \u2013 isn\u2019t interesting enough, is it? Some\npeople have cranked their adrenaline dial all the way to \u201care you out of your mind?!\u201d\nby mixing regular skiing or snowboarding with parasailing. The result is racing\ndown a snowy mountain while getting enough lift to send you floating. Some people\nbounce up and down while others stay afloat during the entirety of the run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volcano Boarding\/Surfing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Really, how is a sport \u201cextreme\u201d if it doesn\u2019t involve an\nactive volcano? Volcano boarding or surfing is exactly what it sounds like \u2013 a person\nstraps on a snowboard or skis and goes down the side of a volcano covered in\ncool cinders. Oh, there are also plenty of sharp volcanic rocks on the mountain\nthat can totally rip your legs to shreds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freediving<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Scuba diving can seem pretty intense, but with a series of\nsafety apparatuses strapped onto your back and face, how extreme can it get? People\nhave taken scuba diving to crazy by jumping into the blue sea without oxygen\ntanks, masks, and other safety equipment. A pair of flippers and goggles (optional)\nis all it takes to start freediving with the fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highlining<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even the most hardcore extreme sports fanatics will say no to walking a tight rope, but the craziest of the bunch find a taut rope a mere cakewalk in the tea park. To make it more challenging, people have taken to highlining \u2013 walking a slack rope \u2013 where they can showcase their awesome balance and even awesomer falling skills. Thankfully, highlining typically isn\u2019t done very far off the ground, but some nutjobs have highline across tall buildings and mountains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
