Do Not Make These Mistakes About Sports And Adventure -- Discover Interesting Secrets Now

By: Nathan Knightley

How come some people don't feel or experience fear ?. They can do almost any adventure sports in the world without fear. Just thinking about 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 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. The only vaguely exciting activity I have ever done is skiing, which I loved. Adventure sports are not really for me but I would surely like to get over my inhibitions and go for it. I am an armchair sportsman; content to see others take extreme risks.

If I was braver, the thing I'd do first is skydiving. That must be an incredible thrill, 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 thrilling, although I wouldn't want to climb those high peaks like K2. Mountain climbing in Force 10 winds and frostbite eating at your toes 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. Lying there while everyone else is jet skiing, parasailing, wind surfing and otherwise whizzing around makes me feel lazy. 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 sudden drop in pressure to send me plunging 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, just like the ones in the Star Trek movies. These are programmed 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 isn't really there. Nothing is real but it looks 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?
