Top 7 world extreme sports events that you can visit (and maybe take part in)

Extreme sports and games are everywhere, from the most classic to the weirdest and most original. For example, there is a community dedicated to extreme ironing where participants go to remote locations with ironing boards and unplugged irons. Ironists, as they call themselves, have recorded themselves ironing in caves, underwater, hanging from cliffs, and water skiing.

Most people are into “conventional” extreme sports, though. If you want to see people enjoy the most extreme moments to the fullest, these are the best events to attend. Perhaps you’ll want to join them next year!
