these are all about the gnarly rides and
epic sales welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten extreme sports
for this list we’re looking at
recognized extreme sports that involve a
bit of skill technique and intelligence
so with all due respect to the Running
of the Bulls which involves running and
attentiveness that event didn’t make our
list number 10 bull riding play the game
you take the pain you know the dangers
and you you’re willing to pay for them
to do what you love doing so you think
you’re a tough guy eh well let’s see you
last eight seconds getting your ass or
twig and berries headed to you on top of
a raging bull some people get their
kicks by running away from such feats
whether you’re an American rider or one
overseas there’s nothing quite like the
intensity of preparing for and executing
this challenge you step off one of those
bulls you’re ten foot tall and
bulletproof it takes a certain breed to
sustain this kind of lifestyle
and while people flock to events to see
bull riders do their thing there’s not
much they can do when the bull hits the
fan then all of a sudden you’re from
perfect to horrible
number nine volcano surfing I push off
moments later I’m s turning down the
pumice the advent of this 21st century
extreme sport has been credited to
Zoltan East von and it involves a bumpy
ride to the dark side of an actual
volcano that’s right a couple thousand
years ago the poor residents of Pompeii
were essentially buried alive thanks to
Mount Vesuvius and now adventurers fight
back against volcanoes so to speak by
getting all up in their business
times have changed of course but one
must always be aware of getting all
carved up by chunks of ash and flying
debris oh yeah the explosive lava is
something to think about as well number
eight ice climbing it’s a hundred meter
vertical ice shield nearly rock-hard
because the Sun never hits it
we all know that mountain climbing is
for pansies right so that’s why this
slippery sport has gained such momentum
in recent years we’re kidding of course
as both rock and ice climbers are
equally adventurous and crazy whether
you prefer alpine ice or water ice the
basic laws of nature apply when climbing
up a frozen waterfall one does not
simply ice climb one comes ready with
all the appropriate gear prepared for
perhaps the most exhilarating feeling in
the world and maybe a nasty fall number
seven high lining
some of you may already Highline on a
daily basis but probably not quite like
this my name is Philippe Petit I’m a
wire Walker featured in the 2015 film
the walk highlining is the form of
slacklining that is done at challenging
heights this sport requires some
intellect when setting up the anchor
points and of course one must be in
tip-top shape and be able to focus – as
the ultimate fail would be plummeting to
your certain death it’s only been since
2010 that slacklining has really become
popular particularly in the form known
as trick lining and it builds on the
examples of past high wire artists for
more creative expressions of freedom
number 6 skateboarding alright so
skateboarding probably doesn’t seem that
extreme these days at least not if
you’re at the Bart Simpson it’s faster
than walking skill level but every
self-respecting skater knows that some
broken bones are necessary if you want
to call yourself the real deal we don’t
really need to explain the essence of
this extreme sport as YouTube has become
a haven for countless skateboarding
fails and also some rather impressive
feats the activity is something of a
gateway sport for extreme individuals
and a culture in its own right you
either skate or you don’t
number five creaking also known as steep
creaking
sure one may enjoy kayaking or canoeing
but that doesn’t necessarily mean you
enjoy literal downward spirals off
waterfalls but if this does sound like
you then you’re a creek er Congrats on
having a name what do you need besides a
kayak and a Deathwish well a first aid
kit might come in handy and you’ll
certainly need a throw bag and face mask
those living in the Appalachians have
come to know creaking all too well and
there’s nothing like experiencing a
first descent whether it’s your own or
with somebody else
beware of chicken heads and SIVs and
always Creek with confidence number four
ice cross downhill also known as
downhill ice cross I’m high in my life
right now nothing like it the average
person typically struggles when trying
to lace up a pair of ice skates and even
more so with the actual act of skating
but if you grew up playing hockey and
know how to maintain a certain balance
then you’ll find some value with ice
cross downhill call any mode do you
think they can go any faster than me
here’s what happens
skaters shoot down a wall to track and
try not to break their asses it’s just
like downhill skiing except with sharp
skates and hard ice as you can imagine
the average ice cross downhill fail will
make anyone wins especially if you
happen to be executing the failure in
question number three motocross got
always jumps up speaking of ice the one
and only Vanilla Ice once reigned
supreme in this extreme sport as he was
reportedly a three-time Grand National
Champion in Dallas go ninja go go ninja
go ninja go you could say that motocross
was the next step up for skaters during
the 80s along with BMX riding numerous
sub competitions have emerged from this
vehicular activity whether it be
freestyle Supercross or whatever
competitors come up with next some fly
high while others keep it low but
motocross has long been a favorite among
your more liberal motorcycle enthusiasts
number two free climbing no I did
now the big question are you an aide
climber or a free climber not sure well
if you’re the former you’ll need some
help reaching your destination but if
you’re the latter then you’re on your
own
literally you know you commit you’re
like I’m doing this here I go
but then after like a couple hours of
being all committed you’re like man I’m
tired sure
free climbers take the appropriate
measures to prevent you know death but
the point of it all centers on the
trendy concept of Do It Yourself there’s
always that one glance down it’s out of
the corner of your eye because once you
like make the turn and look you’re like
oh man like I am high when you’re a kid
you climb trees but if you’re an
experienced free climber you reach a bit
higher some question the motivation of
free climbers which does make sense but
perhaps you just don’t understand the
feeling of exhilaration it’s sort of
like asking a gymnast what they’re
thinking about while they’re doing the
routine ideally they’re just executing
it perfectly before we unveil our number
one pick here are some honorable
mentions
it feels good to be out here to be back
on the trail
Mickey files number one wingsuit flying
also known as wingsuiting
if you’re too scared to skydive or
base-jump and you definitely won’t be
wingsuit flying with the suit itself
emerging in various forms since the late
90s one may actually transform into a
bird man a bat man or even a squirrel
depending on your stylistic preferences
while practicing this sport of course a
parachute will be needed for a safe
landing and you may also need a hefty
set of balls or a sturdy pair of ovaries
with the arrival of jet-powered Wing
suits in recent years there’s no telling
how this extreme sport will evolve for
space oddities in the coming decades do
you agree with our list what’s your
favorite extreme sport you just have to
hang on and you know figure it out and
fight for more mind-blowing top 10s
