I am 5"8
150 pounds
Lean
I’m really good at trail riding dirtbikes also I’m amazing at quads. I would try to do motocross but that’s one of the most costly sport out there. I’m good at snowboarding not great. I’m terrible at bmx (I eat shit) I don’t live in a great location for Action Sports bmx is big here but like I said I’m terrible.
Well what sport? I don’t have a lot of fear I hunt a lot play air soft paintball.

How about Mountain Biking…

What extreme sport should I learn and master?

December 16th, 2012 1 comment

I want to learn a extreme sport so bad and want to be the best I can be at it. I am not rich or have a lot of money and I know a lot of extreme sports consider money. which would be the best for me to learn? I was looking more towards something with water or something i can do all season. such as kite surfing and in the winter switch to kite snowboarding? suggestions please and or advice

"mastering" any sport requires more than just randomly picking something for the reason of wanting recognition in it. People who master skills are those who love the activity so much they do it for their own personal gratification and because it is something they have access to and can spend a lot of time with.

Do you live beside the ocean where there is consistently good surf and also nearby to mountainous areas that have snowboarding opportunities? Can you afford not just the money but the time off from school and work to learn and practice your skills? Excelling in an "extreme" sport requires talent, drive and LOTS of effort. If you don’t have geographic access to the sea and slopes, something like mountain biking might be more within your reach — again, it depends on where you live. And, or course, your individual talents. Nobody else can choose that for you. Most of all, it should be something that you wildly enjoy doing.

choosing the right lense for action sports?

hey, i just aquired a nikon f70 slr camera, I really enjoy it, but i want
to start taking some pics of snowboarding and in the spring skateboarding and mountain biking. right now the lense that is on my camera is a AF NIKKOR 28-70mm, is this good enough, any recommended lenses?

I just answered a similar question in the "camera" section on Yahoo! Answers. But for someone with a D80 and he was using his camera for his kids playing sports. Both are going to have alot of movement and action, so you want to capture the action in a still frame with out the blur.

If its for sports and action shots. A good one for that type of stuff with out breaking your budget is the

AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED

AF-S DX VR Zoom-NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED

both are good for action shots and have fast AF so you can get the snap shots of snowboarders flying over you with out the blur.
