Choosing the right extreme sport is often a process of elimination. If you don't like heights, then don’t choose base jumping or other sports that involve heights. If swimming isn’t your cup of tea, then bodysurfing and free diving are not good choi ls important to know how much physical exercise you're prepared to do. If you usually run a mile from anything that involves exercise, don’t try sports that involve physical effort such as free running. If you don't lke using lifts because you don't feel safe, then a sport that relies on equipment’such as rock climbing is a lost cause. Other people are often required in extreme sports and you need to trust the people ‘you're with. If you think working with other people can be a pain in the neck, choose sports like skateboarding or windsurfing that don’t involve them, Finally, there's the risk factor. All extreme sports involve an element of risk, but how much risk are you prepared to take? Remember — don't bite off more than you can chew. Which extreme sports are left on your list?
