Adventure Sports - Are You The Type For The Thrills Without The Spills?

It's interesting to notice how some people don't feel or experience fear. They try every adventure sports known to mankind without any efforts. Just like the stunt man you see 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 be ready to follow you into action within a minute. I am not very brave. I don't like heights, fast speeds or defying gravity. I need 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 do not suit me but I wish I could get over my inhibitions and do some of them. I am an armchair sportsman; content to watch others take stupid 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. Some people free fall down into caves and their parachutes open just as it's getting dark and you think they are doomed. Rock climbing also looks exhilarating, even though I wouldn't want to climb those mountain peaks like Everest. Mountain climbing in Force 10 winds and frostbite eating at your fingers doesn't really interest me. The thought of cave diving fills me with dread and I'm also far too claustrophobic for pot holing.

Beach resorts all over the world are geared up for every sort of water adventure sports. I do feel lazy, lying there whilst everyone else is jet skiing, parasailing, wind surfing and otherwise whizzing around. A hearty game of volleyball is the most activity I indulge in on a beach. I may fling a Frisbee from time to time. I think about doing something but I always end up soaking up the sunshine and there is also all that food and drink to consume.

My fear of heights precludes me from hang gliding or a trip in a hot air balloon. Traveling in a wicker basket under a flammable, gas filled balloon is not my idea of a relaxing time. I'm sure it's exciting but I would be on continuous watch for electricity pylons, not to mention a unexpected drop in pressure to send me falling back to earth. Adventure sports like that are made for brave, optimistic well insured people.

I am waiting for the day when someone invents a hologram suite, you know, like the ones in the Star Trek movies. These are programmed virtual realities, in which you can ski down a mountainside at maximum speed and come to no harm. That's because the mountain is not really there. Nothing is real but it looks just like reality. In other words, it's all the thrills without the danger. If I wanted, I could do any adventure sports then and maybe even invent a few new ones. Until that time, I will observe others do their hot dog tricks and bungee jump from high places. These days, does driving into the town and back count as adventure sports?
