A. Volcano boarding
Racing down an active 2,380 ft (725,4 m) volcano at the speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) with only aboard for protection is considered by many thrill-seeking sports fanatics as the coolest sport. Thousands of travelers go to the foothills of Nicaragua’s Cerro Negro Mountain every year to take part in the new sporting craze. Suffers, dressed in protective jump suits, knee-pads and helmets, can reach speeds of up to 80 km/h (50 mph) on their specially constructed plywood (фанера) boards. Since it’s creation, in 2005, the volcano boarding has attracted more than 10,000 participants.

B. Train surfing
Usually an illegal sport, train surfing involves riders climbing or “surfing” on the outside of a moving train or subway. The practice is a serious problem in South Africa, where many young people have been killed or injured. The “sport” was made popular in the 1980s in Germany, where it was called “S-Bahn surfing”. The phenomenon was then forgotten, but in 2005 it was rediscovered by a gang from Frankfurt, Germany. The leader of the crew who called himself “The train-rider” surfed the InterCityExpress, the fastest train in Germany.

C. Cliff Diving
Cliff Diving is defined as the acrobatic perfection of diving into water from a high cliff. This dangerous sport originated from a Hawaiian Islands in 1770. The local king demanded that this men jump off high cliffs and dive into the water feet first without a splash, to prove their courage and loyalty. Today, after centuries, the activity has expanded into a sport that is marked by immense courage, focus, thrill and risk. Cliff diving is one of the riskiest kinds of diving. Certain standards have been set to minimise the risk factor. Some of this include determining the height of the jump (23-28 metres for men,18-23metres for women), an ideal entering speed of 75-100 km/h, and a free fall time seconds.

D. Underwater hockey
A little-known sport, underwater hockey is what some drivers like to do during the winter months when the outside water is too cold for diving. The sport was intended in Great Britain during the 1950’s when some British divers were looking for ways to stay fit during the winter. The game is played using nothing more than snorkeling equipment and of course the stick, protective gear and gloves. The game is played at the bottom of the pool using a puck (шайба) weighing over one kilogram. The sport is tough and tiring. It is becoming increasingly popular around the world and some countries have formed national teams which take part in world championships.
