Everything About Sport And Adventure - Find Worthwhile Ideas

How come 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 you see in action movies. These guys are not afraid of anything or what? 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 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 go for it. An armchaired sportsman is more likely what I am; content to see others take crazy risks.

The thing I'd do first is skydiving if I was braver. That must be an unforgettable thrill, 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 thrilling, although I wouldn't want to climb those mountain peaks like K2. Climbing a mountain in Force 10 winds and frostbite eating at your feet doesn't really interest me. I'm also far too claustrophobic for pot holing and the thought of cave diving fills me with dread.

Beach resorts all over the world are geared up for every sort of water adventure sports. Lying there while everyone else is jet skiing, parasailing, wind surfing and otherwise whizzing around makes me feel lazy. 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's 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 constant guard for electricity pylons, not to mention a sudden drop in pressure to send me plunging back to earth. Adventure sports like that are made for plucky, optimistic well insured people.

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