  • Hobo toss
  • Extreme Triathalon. It starts from as many giant transport helicopters as are needed for contestants. Then they parachute into the water until they swim to shore where their mountain bikes are which they must take through a rugged and demanding trail. Finally they have to run through a challenging obstacle laden course with ropes to swing across chasms (safety net on the bottom) and ropes to climb stiff ridges to the top and other challenges to be finished with a straight away open tract of about 500 yards to the finish line.
  • With the current resurgence and gaining popularity I have to say flat track roller derby. Sure it's a team sport, sure it's all women....but before skateboarding, before inline skating there was roller derby. Of course today's roller derby is not scripted or theatrical as the old school roller derby that was popular in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Modern roller derby is considered amateur (with a very few exceptions)and trust me when I tell you the women who skate modern roller derby ARE Athletes. The game is real...the injuries are real. If you don't believe me...attend a game. These women skate hard, hit hard and play hard......and they pay for the opportunity to do it! That is a true love for the sport....you buy your own gear and pay dues to work your ass off, get bruises and possibly broken bones....and yet....you can't stay away from it. Are modern derby girls extreme athletes? You bet your ass WE are!
