Adventure Racing - There seems to be no set definition of this. It is up to the organiser of the specific race to set what rules there are. It may include any of the following activities: mountain biking, trekking, canoeing, kayaking, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, parasailing, and rope skills such as rappelling, abseiling, and tyrolean traverse. Unusually these are often team events. All-Terrain Boarding - Think of this as off-road skateboarding. The boards have bigger wheels and you can find people doing this up mountains.Base Jumping - This is jumping from "Building, Antennae, Span, Earth" rather than an aeroplane. This is often done by illegally gaining access to buildings etc. People die doing this. BMX - As well as professional shows you can find online video of people riding across the roofs of buildings. Jumping can take riders 20+ft into the air.Bungee Jumping - Jumping off tied to a piece of elastic? No I wouldn't! What happens once you've stopped bouncing? You either get pulled back up or lowered down. Originally it was Indigenous people of the Penecoste Islands in the South Pacific who jumped from bamboo towers on ropes but in 1978 Oxford Dangerous Sports Club jumped from the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, and thus modern bungee jumping was invented!Canopying - Activities in the canopy of trees, such as abseiling and climbing.Canyoning - Often involves following a mountain stream to its source.Cave Diving - This is quite literally diving in pools in caves.

I've even climbed outside a few times.Roller Skating - Thats skating on wheels. Obviously the tame stuff we all do as kids doesn't count, but those inline skaters (have seen people skating on the roads into town... now if that isn't insane I don't know what is)Skateboarding - This is probably one of the most known extreme sports.Ski Joring - A sport in which a skier is drawn over ice or snow by a horse or vehicle.Skiing - sport in which participants travel on skisSkydiving - Jumping form a plane, then performing acrobatics in free fall before activating the parachute.Snowboarding - Skateboarding on snow without the wheels.Snowcross - Motocross with snow and special machines.Surfing - Waves, a board and a lot of falling off.
