I Have No Interest In Any Sports,

especially ones that involve heights, 


or hobbies for that matter like sky diving, especially extreme skydiving, a sport that makes you hurtle to the ground faster! welcome to the world of speed skydiving, which is recognized as the fastest non-motorized sport on Earth. Competitions begin with skydivers jumping out of an airplane between 13,000ft and 14,000ft (3,962m to 4,267m), then turning 90° from the direction in which the aircraft is traveling, alternately left and right, next, competitors go into free fall head-first towards the earth, while trying to be as aerodynamic as possible, competitors can reach speeds of over 500 km/h (310 mph), World speed skydiving champion Kyle Lobpries compared the sensation of speed skydiving with what slipping into a wormhole in a sci-fi movie must feel like, “where all the stars get blurred and turn into lines.” “You get to a certain speed in the dive where you start to wobble,” speed skydiver Maxine Tate told CNN. “And you have to push through that wobble, being very relaxed, but still maintaining body form and not reacting to the wobbles. It’s a real mental and physical game.” As it happens I commented to a friend only a few days ago, and I quote, “If at first you do not succeed with sky diving, it is too late to take up another hobby!”.
