When I think of extreme sports, I think of something that is fun, slightly unsafe and gives you an adrenaline rush. There are two things that I had always wanted to try -- scuba diving and skydiving --and I had the opportunity to give both a shot a few years ago. While it was an amazing feeling to conquer them both, I have decided I'd like to try something different this summer. I know there are tons of other extreme sports out there, so I set to find out which ones are popular among our users.
Have you ever heard of parkour or zorbing? Parkour is where you move from one point to another as quickly as possible and overcome obstacles. People who participate in this extreme sport like to jump on rooftops from building to building. Zorbing, also know as sphereing, is when a person is put into a huge sphere ball and then rolls down hills or ramps. Looks like fun!

2. Want to know why skateboarding isn't listed in the top ten "most searches extreme sports"? Because skateboarding isn't an extreme sport, it's an art form--and also because skaters are too damned busy actually skating to search out info about doing what we love to do.

3. I thought Parkour sounded like driving from the description, well... until it got to the jumping from rooftop to rooftop part.

9. Surfing has always been my favorite relaxing past time...but I enjoy De-Pantsing People...Now that should be a sport.
1) You walk up to some one
2) Drop their drawers then run off
3) They are suprised and everyone notices them
4) If you can get away you have succeeded !
THE SPORT OF DE-PANTSING

18. Why isn't skateboarding on the top ten most searched? I'm pretty sure it's more popular than rock climbing or bungee jumping as far as internet searching goes. Not that those two sports aren't cool. I'm just suprised my fav (Skateboarding) didn't make the list.
