Some people truly amaze me, they have the courage to try almost anything! And this is why I love the internet and youtube, the world of extreme activities has its stage.
Having the guts to propel yourself off a cliff with only cardboard boxes to cushion your fall has made my video on the week. With a move like this, you have to look fear in the face and smile! Well done, box jumper guy, well done!!
Sometimes Nature comes back and hits you in face… Literally! These pictures will forever capture what happens when nature sticks back. A group went out Carp fishing on a river and one of the shooter was just in the wrong spot at the wrong time.
Though the fish wasn’t that large, the speed in which the impact happened cause her jaw to break. Now that is a fish slap if I have ever seen one.
So as I have been posting to the this blog, I have been searching the web to find out what everyone else is doing? I was not aware of all the strange and unique things that people do for fun. Though I have never tried most of these, I would willing give it a shot.
What surprised me the most was when you type “Extreme” into Google images, on the first page is two different pictures of Extreme Ironing. First of all, what is so extreme about this (minus the chance for you to lose whatever shirt you are ironing to the window) and second, how does it rank so high on Google. I guess I will find out someday. Let me know if you have other unique sports that I should know about.
Before the weather warms up and this activity will be gone for a year. You need to get to the Ice and show it who is boss. I am such a fan of Ice climbing, I love the feeling of paving your own path and climbing something that won’t be there in a few months. It is an amazing feeling.
This is one activity that you shouldn’t attempt if you don’t have a buddy who knows what he is doing. I have seen too many people try this and they are really risking too much because they don’t know how to tame the Ice face. But once you find your pro, you will be amazed by what you can climb.
I have to give props to anyone who is in Motocross, this is one dangerous sport. I mean, I like to play around on dirt bikes as much as the next guy but when you are doing it with people all around you and in a race, that is hard core.
You really have to be one with your bike to attempt the stunts they pull off. For me that is not enough protection for me to try half the jumps do with ease. So well done, anyone who has the guts to pull these tricks off.
Now, this is pretty impressive in my book. Anyone who can do this kind of tricks has got props in my book. Your body needs to be in top shape to have this kind of flexiblity and muscle control. Kudos to these guys.
I remember when I was in top shape and the best I could do was a backflip off of a padded wall in the wrestling gym. These people have more height and skill then I could ever dream to have but well worth watching on Youtube.
Well, it’s that time of year again, time for Thanksgiving and Black Friday, the two busiest days of my life. One day I spent cooking and eating the greatest food on Earth, then I have a midday nap and I get ready to stand out in the cold so that I can get amazing shopping deals. Over this last year, I have seen a lot of toys come out that I want to add to my collection and this seems like the best time to get them at a better price!
I have figure out a way to even get more off on my Black Friday sales. My master plan this year is to get gift certificates that at a discount on sites like citydeals or others and then use them for payment on my items. This is what I call a double bonus, a genius move on my part!
I love extreme sports – because of the rush. The best feeling in the world to me is the rush of adrenaline that I feel when participating in extreme sports. One of my favorite extreme sports is Dirt Bike Racing 
I have managed to learn a couple of tricks. I do crash sometimes – BUT I always get right back up and try again til I get it right!
I have heard of Ocean Kayaking but never done it myself. I can see the attraction though… I thoroughly enjoy kayaking on rivers but I can see the excitement of battle the waves and unpredictability of the ocean. I found this article that gets me excited to try this so I thought I would share it with you.

Obviously there are differing conditions when one chooses to go ocean kayaking, and attempting to go ocean kayaking in rough and dangerous conditions as a beginner is not recommended. There are a number of key factors that must be taken into account prior to kayaking in general. This would include getting some lessons, advice and instructions from a qualified instructor. It is of utmost importance that one does seek instruction as there are techniques and practices that might save ones life when pursuing a hobby or pastime kayaking.
Ocean kayaking can be viewed from various aspects in that one can view the kayak from a manufacturing perspective in terms of the materials used to make the kayak, as well as the desired seating capacity and the ultimate use of the kayak. The most commonly used kayak used in terms of ocean kayaking is the sit on top kayak design. This design is suitable for the occupant to be able to enter and exit the kayak easily on the beach, or even in the waves is necessary. This form of kayak is also safer for the novice ocean kayaking individual, as there is almost no danger of being caught inside the hull of the kayak, as with other designs, in the event of something possibly going wrong in the water.
The materials used when manufacturing kayaks, specific for ocean kayaking that are used by manufacturers have to be solid enough to be able to withstand impact in the ocean, such as from waves and crashing in to the sand of the beach. In the identification of these materials the manufacturers have found that a material should not be too flexible neither too rigid, to achieve a suitable balance for the materials durability within trying oceanic conditions. Hence most manufacturers use a medium density linear polyethylene which provides sufficient flexibility as well as stiffness, providing a longer lasting kayak and tougher material to handle the knocks and bumps of ocean kayaking.
Features that one might look out for in ocean kayaks included benefits such as molded foot wells, molded in graphics that will not peel or flake off leaving an unsightly mess, bungee cords that allow the user to secure items to the hull of the kayak, toggle handles at the bow and the stern; which will enable the user to transport the kayak easily, and if really required the hatch, which can be used to store small items in the hull of the kayak, usually within a bag to prevent it from sliding around.
As with anything in terms of purchasing equipment, one should consider the usage of the equipment, in terms of the toughness or environment that the equipment will be exposed to, whereby one will be able to make an informed decision, with respect to the materials and designs accordingly.
