Some people may not think of some of these as adventure sports, however most of these sports aren't in the Olympics which to me makes it an adventure sport.
- Go Rock Climbing ~ Not really sure however when living in Lake Louise I watched some guys do this which and it made me want to give this a try.
- Go Surfing ~ I was a big Beach Boys fan when I was younger and loved all the surfing songs.
- Go Scuba Diving ~ Not really sure as I have a fear of drowning and can't stand water. Must have been documentaries.
- Go Snorkelling ~ Seeing documentaries of the Great Barrier Reef.
- Go Sky Diving ~ Not sure. Always wanted to do this, I think it might have been from a movie about World War two and seeing them jump out of planes then that first peaked my interest.
- Go Bungee Jumping ~ Also not sure, I guess it always looked like fun when I was a child.
