Are you into extreme sports? I love extreme sports, and live in the International capital of adventure and extreme sports: Queenstown, New Zealand!

We are spoilt for choice here, and to show you some of the best of our extreme sports, and from around the globe, I'll present some fo the most popular extreme sports types for you to look over.

Extreme sports come in all sorts, some people apply extreme facets to exisiting sports (ie extreme fishing) and some sports are just extreme in their own right. Take for example, mountain jumping. This is a classic example of an extreme sport that has evolved into its own niche, and replicates virtually no other sport on earth.

Here are the extreme sport catergories that I think cover nearly all extreme sports you can do:

-Individual extreme sports

-Team extreme sports

-Assisted extreme sports

-Pioneering extreme sports

Individual extreme sports are things like downhill skiing, spearfishing, base jumping, drag racing, wakeboarding or any other sport where its simply and individual against the elements of the sport. Individual extreme sports are one of the most common types, because people can experience the euphoria and adrenalin in their own hands, all for themselves. Its an incredible feeling!

Team extreme sports are done by 2 or more people, and cover things like white water rafting, group skydiving, luging, and paintball. In a team extreme situation, the elements are shifted, as its upto the performance of others in the team to bring it all together as one. It can be an amazing rush, and is a perfect way to get involved in extreme sports.

Assisted extreme sports, involve doing something that is setup in a predetermined fashion, and the experience or rush, is pretty much the same each time. Think along the lines of a skydive, pretty much you rely on the plane taking you up, and the free fall is near the same each time you do it. Thats nothing to take away from the rush, as its still as amazing the 100th time as it is the 1st!

Pioneer extreme sports can be the true extreme pinnicle for the true enthusiest. In these extreme sports, your up against the elements in a different way each and every time you try it out. Think along the lines of a shark dive...will that shark behave the same way each time? You bet not! Each time the experience is different, and this is part of the extreme rush. Many of these sports are built on this concept, and this is what drives people to discover new adventure sports with every passing year.
