One of the few photography competitions that I enter is the Red Bull Illume competition which only runs every few years. This is the rules page.
What’s nice about this is it has a list of the sports which the competition covers. Customarily I’d be hitting on the kitesurfing because that’s who/what I am. However, lately I have been trying to find a decent list of extreme sports to see a) how many I’ve tried and b) how many I have left still to try that I want to try.
I reckon this is a good list.
This is the list of stuff I have, actually, at some stage, tried.
- Beach volley ball
- BMX biking
- Kayaking
- Kitesurfing
- skateboarding
- skiing
- surfing
- windsurfing
In addition to those ones I have cableskiied and whitewater rafted. And I also do indoor climbing now.
Of the ones I’d like to try:
- bodyboarding
- cliff diving
- free diving
- mountainboarding although I don’t really have any excuse there…
- bouldering – not much of an excuse there
- skydiving
- snowboarding
- snowkiting
- ice climbing
I did, for a while, want to try hang-gliding and also missing from the list canyoneering, but I ran into the Wall of Fear that I can’t quite over come at this stage. Hang-gliding was fine until I saw people stepping off cliffs in Australia one day. That was the day I realised I couldn’t do it.
The climbing has been a mess this week. It hasn’t happened. I am going to get such a slagging when I go back in on Saturday.
