Snowbiking

Parkour
For people who like running, climbing and jumping, parkour also called free running, may be the best sport! Runners must get from point A to point B in the fastest way possible, going over obstacles such as walls, trees, benches and even building rather than going around them. It started in France and is now taking London and other cities by storm.
Kitesurfing
What do you get if you combine kiting and surfing? Kitesurfing, of course, the new craze that has taken over the beaches of Hawaii and is now spreading fast around the world! Kitesurfing involves flying through the air at top speed with a parachute above you and a board attached to your feet. It's difficult to learn but very exciting once you do!
