Learn More About Adventure Sports

By: Paul Zayer

It's interesting to notice how some people don't feel or experience fear. They can do almost any adventure sports in the world without fear. Just like the stunt man performing in action movies. How come these guys seem not scared of anything? I'm sure that if you ask them to go with you in any adventure sports and they would follow you right away. I am not a daring person. I don't like heights, fast speeds or defying gravity. I like my feet to be firmly on the ground. Skiing is the only vaguely thrilling activity I have ever done and I just love it. Adventure sports are not really for me but I wish I could get over my inhibitions and do some of them. An armchaired sportsman is more likely what I am; happy to see other people take foolish risks.

If I was braver, the thing I'd do first is skydiving. That must be an unbelievable feeling, up so high and free as a bird. You would think some people are doomed as they free fall down into caves and their parachutes open just as it's getting dark. Rock climbing also looks exciting, although I wouldn't like to climb those high peaks like K2. Mountain climbing in Force 10 winds and frostbite eating at your toes doesn't really appeal. The thought of cave diving fills me with dread and I'm also far too claustrophobic for pot holing.

Almost every sort of water adventure sports are offered in beach resorts around the world. I do feel lazy, lying there whilst everyone else is jet skiing, parasailing, wind surfing and otherwise whizzing around. The most activity I indulge in on a beach is a hearty game of volleyball. I may fling a Frisbee from time to time. I want to do something but then it's so nice to soak up the sunshine and there's all that food and drink to consume.

Hang gliding or a trip in a hot air balloon doesn't go along with my fear of heights. Traveling in a wicker basket under a flammable, gas filled balloon is not my idea of a relaxing time. I'm sure it's thrilling but I would be on continuous guard for electricity pylons, not to mention a quick drop in pressure to send me falling back to earth. Adventure sports like that are made for gutsy, optimistic people with good insurance policies.

I am hoping that one day someone will invent a hologram suite, you know, similar to the ones in the Star Trek shows. These are computerized virtual realities, in which you can ski down the side of a mountain at breakneck speed and come to no harm. That's because the mountain is not truly there. Nothing is real but it feels just like reality. In other words, it's all the thrills without the spills. If I wanted, I could do any adventure sports then and maybe even invent a few new ones. Until that time, I'll watch other sport lovers do their hot dog tricks and bungee jump from high places. Does driving into the city and back count as adventure sports these days?
