While most hobbies are pretty mundane, some folks thrive on pursuing more outrageous adrenaline-packed activities. Here are 15 of the craziest things that adventure-seekers get a real kick out of doing:
1. Cliff Jumping
Jumping from extreme heights into water below is a thrill-seeking hobby for some daredevils. They’ll brave leaping from towering ocean cliffs, waterfalls, or elevated bridges into rivers, lakes or the sea. Caution (and common sense) gets thrown to the wind!
2. Storm Chasing
Instead of sheltering from severe storms, storm chasers armed with video cameras excitedly pursue tornadoes, hurricanes, and lightning storms. They plot to intercept Mother Nature’s most dramatic outbursts in order to witness the action up close. Talk about some wild weather!
3. Volcano Boarding
This extreme sport invented in Nicaragua involves climbing an active volcano carrying a basic plywood board. At the top, volcano boarders strap boards to their feet and literally surf or skateboard down the volcanic rock slopes back into the crater. Molten lava provides the ultimate extreme backdrop!
