Brian Potter has been sandboarding for the past seven years. He loves it because he can do it pretty much anywhere. If there is sand, he can sandboard! He says, “Itaskm a real speed freak and I find nothing more exciting than to take out my board and whizz down the sand dunes." The general idea of sandboarding is the same as snowboarding People simply strap a board to their feet and slide down a hill. Brian says. “This summer Itaskm going to enter a sandboarding competition. I here will be around 500 entrants, from all over the world. If I finish in the top 50,1 will be pretty proud."
Carla Murphy is known in certain circles as a taskzorbanauttask. This is because she spends some of her free time inside a large inflatable1 plastic ball called a “zorb". “Zorbing is so much fun.
B
I just cantaskt get enough,task she says. Zorbing involves rolling down a steep hill strapped inside the ball, along with up to two other people The ball can reach speeds of up to 50 or 60 kmph if the hill is steep enough. "Ittasks fantastic. You bounce around as if youtaskre weightless But ittasks safe, too Even if you hit a rock, you will not get hurt, because youtaskre totally protected from bumps and knocks by the zorb Anyone from 6 to 60 can do it." Carla explains.
This bizarre activity originated in New Zealand and now there are centres all around the world Carla thinks ittasks great "When we start rolling, we just start laughing and we cantaskt stop."

Paul Lynch has been practising ice climbing for several years, and he cantaskt get enough. "My parents took me skiing in the Alps when I was a child and ever since. Itaskve been addicted to the mountains But if I hadntaskt moved to Canada a few years ago. I never would have fallen in love with ice climbing." Now, he spends most of his free time climbing ice in the Canadian Rockies. He has even climbed frozen waterfalls. "If I had a lot of money. I would never do anything else." he says Basically, ice climbing involves swinging an axe into the ice above your head and pulling yourself up on it. "You need a good quality helmet, ropes and special boots for ice climbing; it can be dangerous if you dontaskt have the right equipment. And of course, ittasks very physical, so you really have to be in good shape to stay safe." says Paul.

Harriet Bolton didntaskt really like sport at all until she discovered something both new and unusual. "I was listening to the radio one day when I heard something that I thought must have been a joke The DJ was talkinq about underwater hockey! If this was actually a real sport, I would have to find out more about it. I thought. To my surprise, there was a local team in my area and before I knew it, I was part of it!"
Underwater hockey was invented by a British diving dub in 1954 and was originally called "Octopush". Players wear masks, flippers and snorkels during the game. "The rules are really simple. You just have to slide the puck into the opposing teamtasks goal," Harriet explains But unlike water polo, where the action takes place above the water, underwater hockey is played at the bottom of the pool For this reason, underwater hockey is not much of a spectator sport. "If you want to watch an exciting game, you will have to choose something else. People watching from outside the pool can only see lots of splashing and flippers!" says Harriet

The general idea of sand-boarding is the same as snowboarding. People simply strap a board to their feet and slide down a hill. Brian says, "Last year, I entered the International Sandboarding Championships in Germany There were around 50,000 entrants and I came 100th, so I was pretty proud."
