Adventure-Blog: Wild-Adventure News Ten wild adventure sports you've got to try: October 8, 2007 by Molly Feltner  Hiking, canoeing, biking, and other classic outdoor activities will always have their place, but for true adventure addicts, the new and the extreme have an undeniable lure. New adventure sports are constantly being dreamed up as athletes modify or combine classic sports. Other wackier sports emerge straight from the imagination. Here's a look at some of the world's more recent extreme adventure sports, and where you can go to try them out for yourself. Zorbing: Whether it's being the first person to summit Mt. Everest (Sir Edmund Hillary, 1953) or inventing commercial bungee jumping (A.J. Hackett, 1988), New Zealanders are true adventure pioneers. Kiwis are also behind one of the oddest extreme sports out there—Zorbing. Essentially, Zorbing entails getting strapped into a giant rubber ball and then rolling downhill at speeds of up to 30 mph. No special skills are required and it's quite safe. Zorb Limited even boasts that of the 100,000 or so people who've tried the sport, no one has ever puked inside the ball. Luckily for us Americans, you no longer have to fly to the other side of the planet to go Zorbing. The first-ever U.S. Zorb center is due to open in a few weeks just outside Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee. Adventure Blog Comment: Wild adventure is an adventure that, though safely designed, yet takes your heart out of your body as you perform its action. But if such an adventure is a real adventure also, and not only a safely designed one; you really need all your total attention into its action from one moment to another. Your mind doesn't find a single second to give any thought to it. Whatever is done is done by brain only then. And when brain does an action without any interference from the mind, the action goes impeccable. This is what a real wild adventure can train you in!
