1. SHOVEL RACING:
LIMBO SKATING:
Shovel racing, which involves sitting on a
shovel and racing down an icy hill, made
its way to the very first Winter X-Games in
1997. There was a hectic crash that
severely injured a competitor, which
meant that shovel racing's first X-Games
appearance was also its last.
2. WIFE CARRYING:
Originated in Finland and made its way to
North America in 1999. The sport involves
a man carrying a woman on his back,
running through obstacles along the way.
If the man drops his partner, their team
must add five seconds to their time. The
team who finishes the course with the fastest time wins.
3. ELEPHANT POLO:
Elephant polo is just like regular polo,
except on an elephant — it even
requires the same equipment. This sport
is popular in Nepal, India, and Thailand.
4. CYCLEBALL:
Cycleball is a competition between two
teams of two, played on bicycles with no
breaks. Their goal is to get the ball into the
goal using only their wheels and their
heads. Players are allowed to use their
hands on defense, but not on offense.
5. CHEESE ROLLING:
During cheese rolling, a large cheese
wheel is rolled down a steep hill, and
competitors race after it. The first person
to make it down the hill wins the cheese
6.
Limbo Skating involves using roller skates
to limbo under objects, and many
people have found a way to move
under objects just inches off of the
ground.
7. MOUNTAIN UNICYCLING
Most people struggle to ride a unicycle, so
the idea of traversing a mountain side on
one seems a step too far, and it is a
particularly difficult extreme sport to get to
grips with.
8.- CREEKING:
It is like canoeing and kayaking, but
Creeking involves descending steep
low-volume white-water that includes
waterfalls, slides and unexplored
canyons.
9.- POWERBOCKING:
Performers are capable of jumping up
to around five feet off the ground and
can travel at speeds of up to 20 mph,
as well as taking strides as large as nine
feet.
10.- WING WALKING
Typically, the individual will be
strapped to the top wing of a vintage
biplane where you will then be swept
through the skies at speeds of up to
135 mph and you will often have a
pilot that will perform a range of
acrobatic manoeuvres too.
