“Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.” - J.K Rowling


The usual monotonous routine of waking up, going to office and coming back home, over and over again, week after week, can get to you. Hence, we need some adventure in our lives. The best way to feel that rush of adrenaline pumping through every vein of your body, and the beads of sweat breaking at your brow is by undertaking an adventure sport. We have spoken in the past about how the Swift owner is fearless and a risk taker, and how these qualities would greatly help any Swift owner looking to attempt an adventure sport.

We have also spoken about more popular adventure sports like sky diving and bungee jumping in a previous post. However, let’s now take a look at those unheard, crazier then crazy adventure sports which would make even the most brave and bold people flinch.

Volcano Boarding: Just the thought of a volcano instantly gives one the feeling of chaos and destruction. Ever imagined what it would feel like to race down the throat of an active 2,380 ft volcano high at a speed of well over 80kmph? Head to the foothills of the Nicaragua’s Cerro Negro Mountains to find out what this new craze is all about.

Limbo Skating: Limbo Skating is basically the art of skating below cars, however impossible a task this may seem, it can be done. Wonder kid Aniket Chindak set the record for limbo skating below beneath 57 cars when he was just six years old.

Cliff Diving:  Cliff diving takes the relatively simple task of diving to a whole new level. As the name suggests, cliff diving requires one to perform an acrobatically perfect dive into a water body, being meters above the ground. Such an experience would definitely last a lifetime. Cliff Diving originated in Hawaii thousands of years ago when the king asked his men to dive into the water from high cliffs without causing a splash, in order to prove their loyalty towards him. This sport has now become the rage and people from all over are flocking to get a taste of what it’s all about.

These are just a few of the many crazy adventure sports which are becoming popular by the day. Keep coming back to this space in order to learn of more crazy and wacky adventure sports you can try a hand at.
