An adventure can be discovered among most anything. From kayaking the beautiful rivers of Costa Rica to mountain biking Jamaica to scuba diving the bluest waters of Australia’s coral reef, there are amazing adventures at every corner of the globe. Dan Fitzgibbons of Minneapolis seeks to discover most of those -- alongside his family -- and explore as much as this world has to offer. But some adventures are taken to the extreme and push the boundaries between sport and insanity, including new twists on old adventures. Some say “you only live once” and others argue that you’d still like to live. Among some recent adventure sports that individuals are trying -- cautiously, thrilling and insanely -- are volcano boarding, tree camping, cliff face camping, bungee jumping, mountaineering, storm chasing, paramotoring (similar to parasailing, but with a motor attached), hovercrafting, base jumping, extreme ironing (ironing while skiing, surfing or hang gliding) and wing walking on airplanes. Although some of these are more passive, including camping techniques, they push the limits on locations significantly. In 2018, are we moving closer to danger than adventure or are we setting our sights highers? It’s a fine line, so Dan Fitzgibbons argues. Comments are closed.
