Nowadays
many people are looking for alternative winter sports other than normal skiing or snowboarding. Dangerous
sports and activities certainly give incredible adrenaline and new experiences.
As a result, these new forms of physical activity have more and more fans.
Below are
some examples of strange new winter sports.
If you are
interested, there are fine video from Norway :
You can try
speed flying also in Poland. Here you have a link to No limit Speed-Flying
School https://www.facebook.com/nolimitpl .
Ice Diving is a specyfic type of diving
where the dive takes place uder ice. Ice diving can be a more beautiful alternative of scuba
diving. For me, this activity is very very scary.
Generally you have one entry and exit point. Professionals say that it is
dangerous sport but it’s worth it.
equipment like a dry suit with hood, thick termal undergarments, gloves, regulators with freeze protection and a stabilising jacket etc.

Snow Kayaking – in short, kayaking on the snow.
Snow is also water, but in a different
state of aggregation J Snow kayaking is a little extreme version of sledding. You
need a slope, a kayak and paddles, maybe a helmet. Paddles give you more control than in a
standard sled. After many hour of practise, you can start adding wax to the
bottom of your fantastic winter device to be faster and faster.
Unfortunately most ski resort don’t allow snow kayaking. Sometimes in season resorts organize competitions and events for snow kayakers.

Have you ever heard

I cut my brow ridge badly at the end of the season while skating on my fresh new blades(till this point I always rented skates), sold the skates to a friend of mine.
I was ice skating few times since than, but skates offered to rent around ice rinks are horrible(very uncomfortable), I got to buy new ones.
I love snowboarding. But normal snowboarding, witout any freestyle factor:P I was in Livigno about 3 weekns ago and it was super cool. According to your previous presentation, Livigno fitted my natural body clock, because the party - apres-ski - started at 16:30 insted of 11 pm. :P
There is interesting video about what can be done under ice :

Speaking about diving, I couldn't not mention free diving. For me it sound really extreme. Look at this video:

I think I will never try any of mentioned extreme sports(or any other extreme ones). I have too much to lose :)
I don't know too, it looks like you need ski for start and land only. But after all I could try both, why not. Most interesting for me is ice diving. I wanted to try it this year but I don't have time and there is no snow and ice and winter :)
In winter I ski and ride snowboard. In summer I dive. Maybe I start ice diving soon.

Most people in my family are scuba divers and my father used to ice dive. I’ve seen some cool photos of him in the ice. I also remember that when I was very little he used to paraglide. I don’t practice any extreme winter sports but I ski (I was from a very early age).
From all mentioned I find ice diving the most creepy, really it terrifies me! I really cannot imagine being stuck under thick layer of ice....
According to snow kayaking - it must be fast as hell :o It must be really hard to find proper slope...
I personally have never tried any of these and I guess I am not enough courageous to even try :)
All in all it is nice to find out about new kinds of sport. Great post!
I have never heard about any of this sports, but they look really amazing. Sure, they are dangerous, but they definitely create unforgettable memories.
I can’t say I practice any winter sports, especially extreme ones. Ocasionally I go skiing or snowboarding with friends. However, during this trips, I spend more time catching up with old buddies and goofing off, than actually skiing.
The snow kayaking looks unusual, not to mention that i had never assumed that such sport can exist. But it is amazing and feels a bit safer in comparison to speed riding. Considering that i don't like water sports, snow kayaking are now my favourite form of kayaking.
I've always wanted to become diver so I would like to try diving and ice diving ;)
have made really cool movies, I love to watch them and I am impressed what people can do, how
brave are they.
I reccomend this new clip on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKP7jQknGjs !!!
Connected to sports what you mention in your presentation... Speed Flying or Speed Riding looks the best one what I could try. I have practiced skiing sinse I was about 10 years, but never I have never heard about do this with parachute.
I just dream about ski down on extreme track after drop from helicopter. But need pro skill first... ;)
It must be so exiciting. I have never before heard about this spotr( I think about speed flying).
Your presentation is really interesting. I heve never heard about ice diving and snow kayakindg as well. Wrrr, I cold :P It’s totally extremly sport.
Ice diving might be really cool but risky. Under ice must be awsome views that take our breath away.
Snow Kayaking sounds for me like big fun. Of course when we are cautious and think about our safety. Maybe I try to do one of these sports, but now I will choose tradycjonal winter sports that mean snowboarding. Snowboarding can be extreme sport too. Someone "jump" from helicopter with snowboard and ride on wild ski slope where noone has riden yet. Extreme sports are something like detox to our body. People want to feel adrenaline.
ON the subject of not typical winter sports I've also heard about yachting on a frozen lake. It looks cool: http://www.redbull.com/cs/RedBull/RBImages/000/000/611/771/photo610x343a/0312_USA_IceSailing.jpg
During winter I prefer to be covered in blankets and sit in front of a fireplace. But from time to time I go skiing. It's not extreme, but still it brought me a broken leg;)
I don't like the idea of extreme sports. It looks good on a video and everybody needs an adrenaline rush from time to time, but most of these sports are really dangerous and it is so easy to get killed... Here's a video with the "most insane ski line EVER": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDEaAOcDKnA - I am terrified even looking at it.
The other thing about extreme sports is that they are as addictive as drugs or alcohol - there's a reason people who practice them are called adrenaline junkies.
Even though it is fascinating to watch extreme (winter) sports, I would never do something like that.
It's really hard to find the rigt one, because you can often loose the wind. I think, but I can be wrong that actually there are some pretty good slopes for that in Poland and Czech Republic
