Extreme pastime. Extreme views. Psychology of extreme situations

Everyone loves to relax and that's a fact! It is more pleasant for someone to lie on the couch, watch their favorite TV show. Someone will limit themselves to going to the park, but for someone more unusual and extreme types of recreation are acceptable. We will talk about them in this article. Active recreation has become very popular among ordinary people. A rare vacationer will be able to refuse the tempting idea to jump with a parachute, or to see for himself all the beauties of the seabed. Plus, it's getting trendy now.

Of course, this is all entertaining, but I would like to dwell on the types of extreme tourism in more detail, since there are a lot of them. Let's start, perhaps, with the most popular type, namely extreme water tourism. This category includes diving, wakeboarding, water skiing, windsurfing, kayaking and rafting.

Diving will leave an unforgettable impression. You will be able to see with your own eyes the life of underwater inhabitants in their natural environment. But do not think that this is not an extreme vacation. In the water, in addition to cute fish, there are also dangerous predators.

Rafting is a fascinating descent down a mountain river in a canoe or kayak. Who has never done this, it is recommended to try, no one will remain indifferent.

Speleology is not only recreation, but also a science. It is very similar to spelestology. You are waiting for breathtaking descents into the caves, the discovery of the unknown.

X-racing is a kind of recreation for the most seasoned. The essence of these races is the alternation of different vehicles, from a bicycle to a horse and much, much more.

Who has not heard about mountaineering. The conquest of mountain peaks always captures the imagination and spirit. This type of extreme recreation requires a certain physical fitness and endurance. Skiing and snowboarding is superfluous to comment on, descending the snowy hills is a lot of fun.

The most common types of air recreation include parachuting, with all its varieties - skysurfing, base jumping, etc.

Do not ignore ballooning and hang gliders. Obviously, ballooning is one of the safest types of extreme sports, but nevertheless, the location at a great height in a small basket will make anyone worry.

Separately, one can single out very exotic types of extreme tourism. Here, space tourism occupies a leading position.

Unfortunately, for ordinary people this type of recreation is not available, due to the high cost, although there are people who give huge sums of money to see the Earth from space. You may also come across such exotic tours as a trip to Chernobyl! Yes, this is associated with a certain risk, but if there is a supply, then there is a demand. In conclusion, I would like to say that any kind of recreation is actually better than just lying in front of the TV. No wonder there is such a saying that movement is life! So live, discover something new for yourself and do not regret the days you have lived. Have a good rest!

Moscow is an incredibly huge, dynamic, saturated city. What is not here! It is great that our capital is constantly developing, offering its residents and guests original novelties. That's for sure, in this city you will not get bored. And if you want a special extreme? Please! We offer you only some of the possible options.

Soaring in a wind tunnel

People have always dreamed of flying. At first they just dreamed, then they built a variety of aircraft. But all of them do not give the feeling of free flight.

And this is where the wind tunnel comes to the rescue. Just imagine: the upward flow of air easily picks you up, and you are already soaring high, high. This attraction can simulate both free flight and falling into an endless abyss. You will really feel the ups and downs at great speed. Believe me, it's worth it!

Try it yourself and realize what mankind has long dreamed of - take a free flight!

There are three airfields in the Moscow area:

This crazy zorbing!

If we take the word literally, zorbing is a dizzying attraction. It is performed with the help of a zorb.

What is a zorb? It is a polyurethane thermoplastic transparent sphere. Its diameter is 3.2 meters, volume is 13 cubic meters. Inside there is a chamber for a zorbonaut passenger. This original item is intended for rolling down from various heights: for example, hills, mountains, etc.

Many are afraid that they will get sick and feel sick. However, the speed of a zorb is far from being as high as, say, that of a washing machine drum. To make a complete revolution, this ball needs at least 10 meters.

So you should not be afraid of anything, if you, of course, are not very prone to motion sickness. Moreover, beginners usually start with short runs and small slopes.

There are several types of zorbing:

Rolling down hills (Hill zorbing);

Aero zorbing, zorbing inside a wind tunnel (Aero zorbing);

Rolling down from snowy and icy hills (Snow zorbing);

Zorbing on the water surface (Aqua (water) zorbing);

Hydro zorbing, rolling in a zorb filled with water from hills (Hydro zorbing).

You can buy or rent a zorb to ride from a mountain convenient for you. And you can ride in a special club:

We dive into the water

There is in Moscow and so fashionable recently diving. For this entertainment, it is not at all necessary to go to Egypt, which has become unsafe, to the Red Sea. Diving under water with all the equipment is possible in our capital. Moscow has a huge number of diving clubs.

Diving clubs are usually open until 10 pm. The cost of one dive is from 500 rubles. Beginners should not be afraid. All clubs have experienced instructors who will definitely tell and show everything.

Here is just a partial list of clubs:

Children of the Underground

No less extreme entertainment is a relatively new sport. These are walks through the dungeons of Moscow. It's no secret that the city has a lot of tunnels and passages located at a very decent depth of 60 meters.

Not so long ago, these underground galleries began to conduct tours. Believe me, unforgettable sensations will last for a long time! But there are not only galleries, but also a lot of bunkers!

There are a huge number of companies in Moscow that sell such adventures in the form of a gift to friends and relatives. Any search engine will give you a lot of suggestions.

There are also diggers exploring abandoned stations and subway lines, as well as other underground passages. However, this type of activity is certainly illegal.

Here are just a few options:

We ride quad bikes

This type of extreme recreation is becoming more and more popular. Previously, such excursions could only be ordered when traveling, for example, to ski resorts. Let's say Andorra offers a great mountain tour with quad biking and dog sledding. Moreover, everyone is put on ATVs, even those who have never been behind the wheel.

Now such entertainment is available in Moscow and the Moscow region. Feelings, frankly, unforgettable and incomparable. Especially if it's a relatively wild trip.

The feeling of a newcomer who has never been behind the wheel is very funny. At first, the unit twitches disobediently, roaring menacingly, or. On the contrary, it slows down at the most inopportune moment. Then, the person and the machine get used to each other and the ride goes more smoothly. And the impressions are simply breathtaking.

Here are some places where you can go in the suburbs:

We fly on a hang glider

Who has not dreamed of experiencing the feeling of free soaring on a hang glider! This feeling of complete freedom in the air, not associated with a bulky aircraft, cannot be compared with anything. But, unfortunately, this requires mountains. After all, it is there that you can make a jump and catch a suitable upward flow of air.

But there are no mountains in Moscow! But there are hang gliders. This is a cross between an airplane and a hang glider. There is, of course, a cabin and an engine. But the cabin is open - a mass of air that you can "touch". The flight takes place not at a relatively low altitude and not at a very high speed. You can slowly enjoy the journey and the fresh breeze.

There are several companies in Moscow offering such flights. Here is some of them:

Ropejumping is a jump on a dynamic climbing rope from a great height. You can jump off a tall building, tower crane, or bridge. A person is put on a special climbing system. The rope is attached at one end to this system, the other - to the place from which the person was going to jump.

One step - and you fly to the water surface or concrete surface. The entertainment is certainly not for the faint of heart. Bridges are considered the most convenient and simple bases. It is with them that a beginner should start.

Here are some teams organizing such jumps:

There are many more teams that have their own pages on social networks and even their own websites. When buying a certificate for a gift, the cost of the jump will be about 2000 rubles. However, if you go directly to the organizers, and not to intermediaries, the price may be different.

Airsoft - let's fight?!

Airsoft is a team fighting game. They shoot here from copies of quite real military weapons. Only copies - although accurate, but pneumatic. They are made of light alloy and plastic. In the role of bullets - lead or rubber balls of various weights and calibers.

Airsoft is hard, regular and soft. In accordance with the names, weapons and bullets of varying degrees of complexity and severity are used. Military-tactical games are held according to the scenario, which is developed in advance. In a team game, a task is simply worked out.

At the same time, you should dress in camouflage appropriate for the season. But, in extreme cases, a regular tracksuit will do. Shoes - according to the weather: boots, sneakers or combat boots. And be sure to stock up on a mask that protects your eyes.

Buying weapons and bullets is not a problem. In Moscow, there are a lot of online and offline stores specializing in this topic. We do not indicate prices - a specific kit depends on the team and the style of play.

There are several airsoft clubs in Moscow:

Playing paintball and airsoft. Their address is not indicated on the site, but there are phone numbers. They have different venues.

The cost of renting a site is from 650 to 900 rubles for 4 hours.

Wakeboarding is riding on water on a special board, a wakeboard. This board is towed by a special boat. It is loaded with reinforced ballast and creates a great jump wave for riders. There are many different beautiful and exciting tricks in this sport.

There is another option for wakeboarding - cable. Here, instead of a boat, a rope-towing ring installation works. Instead of a wave for jumping, special springboards are used, which are covered with plastic.

There are several wakeboard clubs and schools in Moscow:


In the modern world, it is difficult to surprise anyone with your photographs against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower or the Egyptian pyramids - these popular attractions have long lost the effect of novelty. However, there are still many truly extreme destinations for tourism. Today we will talk about 10 amazing places on Earth, having been in which you can then all your life surprise friends with stories.

Antarctica

Since childhood, we have been surrounded by a romantic halo of stories about polar explorers who have been living for years at autonomous stations in Antarctica, conducting scientific experiments, collecting information about this harsh continent, and also taking care of its “indigenous inhabitants” - penguins.



However, it is not at all necessary to go on long and far from always safe Antarctic expeditions, because you can also visit the southern continent as a tourist. Many travel companies provide their customers with a similar service.



Those wishing to visit Antarctica can sail to the shores of this continent on a cruise ship or even fly to one of the stations as part of a thematic tour.



Price. A cruise on a liner with a disembarkation in Antarctica will cost a fan of extreme sports at least 1800 US dollars (start from Patagonia). A ten-day expedition across the continent costs much more - from $5,000.

North Pole

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the leaders of several expeditions argued among themselves which of them managed to visit the North Pole first. At the moment, the American Robert Peary is considered the discoverer of this point on the globe, it happened on April 21, 1908. However, it is unlikely that this brave man, who reached the pole, enduring incredible hardships and applying superhuman efforts, could have imagined that after a century tourist trips would be possible there.



However, anyone can now visit the North Pole to admire the endless fields of ice, as well as travel around the world in just a few seconds.



You can get to the North Pole quickly and safely by plane, icebreaker, or even by cars specially prepared for such an expedition.



Price. A trip to the North Pole on an icebreaker will cost a tourist 21 thousand US dollars, by plane - 18 thousand.

Climbing to the top of Chomolungma is an activity for the strongest and most experienced athletes in the world who have been preparing for this achievement for many years. However, almost anyone can touch this event without long training and hardships, because there are tours to the base camp on Everest.



The base camp is the main stronghold on the path of climbers to the Top of the World, it is located at an altitude of 5545 meters. There, brave athletes undergo acclimatization for several days, prepare equipment for the ascent and wait for good weather to start.



Ordinary tourists can also visit here. To do this, they will have to walk for several days through the most beautiful places of the Himalayas in Nepal.



Price such a tour, in comparison with the conquest of Antarctica or the North Pole, is small - it starts from 1250 US dollars.

North Korea

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is one of the most closed countries in the world. This is a real reserve of the totalitarian communist system, which in other parts of the world went down in history in the middle of the twentieth century.



It is impossible for an independent tourist to get to North Korea; visiting this country by foreigners is carried out exclusively in the form of groups organized and approved by the leadership. A traveler who has arrived in the DPRK cannot even walk alone through the streets of Pyongyang - only together with guides who will control him so that he does not film something that could discredit the bright name of the DPRK.



Tourists in the DPRK are expected to visit places sacred to the Korean Revolution, including the mausoleum of Kim Il Sung. Guests of the country are taken to the mountains and the sea, they are taken to an exemplary kindergarten, to a mass sports and dance show, and they are also allowed to go down to the subway, however, without a trip to another station.



Price. For a tour to North Korea, a tourist must pay from 1450 euros.

This type of entertainment for the inhabitants of the Navarre region in Spain became known to the whole world thanks to the work of Ernest Hemingway, who lived in Pamplona for a long time and wrote the work “The Sun Also Rises” about this city.



Every summer, Pamplona hosts the San Fermin Festival, during which traditional bull races take place through the streets of the city. The inhabitants of this settlement, and more recently, tourists who want to risk their lives, dress in special clothes and try to run at least a few meters next to the angry animals, while remaining unharmed.



Practically during each such race (and they take place daily during the nine days of the festival), there are brave souls crippled or even killed by bulls. However, this is a very small percentage of the thousands of adrenaline junkies running around.



Price. Participation in the San Fermin Festival is free. Those who want to run with the bulls daredevils need to pay only for the trip to Spain itself, as well as an overnight stay and meals in Pamplona.

Exclusion zone of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant

On April 26, 1986, perhaps the worst technological disaster in the history of Mankind occurred on the border of the Ukrainian and Belarusian SSRs - one of the reactors at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded, releasing a huge amount of radioactive substances into the air.



Since then, the cities of Chernobyl, Pripyat and many smaller settlements have been empty, resettled, and nature in them takes away what man had previously taken from her. Once paved roads are now overgrown with thick bushes, and trees make their way even inside the concrete boxes of houses.



Now in the Exclusion Zone around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, you can only meet station workers who control this facility and build a new sarcophagus over it, a small number of self-settlers (old people who returned to live in these places without permission), as well as tourists.



Price. Tours to Chernobyl are carried out from Kyiv in an official way from the station management. The cheapest option will cost an extreme tourist $50.

Afghanistan

Over the past three decades, the name “Afghanistan” has not been associated with the word “tourism” among the vast majority of the inhabitants of the planet. However, there are daredevils who dare to travel to this troubled country.



Some even travel to Afghanistan on their own, but most still prefer to use the services of professional guides who show tourists the most interesting and safe places in the country, organize accommodation, meals and trips to a state almost unknown to foreigners.



Price an organized tour to Afghanistan starts from 1200 US dollars.

Way of Saint James

The airport of the city of Santiago de Compostela in the north-west of Spain in the historical province of Galicia is known for the fact that several times more people depart from it every day than arrive. The fact is that this settlement is the final exact Way of St. James - the famous Christian pilgrimage to the relics of the apostle.



More than 200 thousand people come to Santiago every year. But these are not only religious pilgrims. Most of the people walking along the Way of St. James are ordinary tourists, because this trail has become the most popular walking tourist route in the world.



The Way of St. James is not a single route, but a whole network of footpaths throughout Europe. The most popular part of it is the so-called French Way - a trail from the Pyrenees 750 kilometers long. But there are also many alternative routes. The most recent marked point is located at a distance of 4053 km from Santiago in the Polish village of Medyka on the border with Ukraine.



Price. A monthly pilgrimage along the French Way, together with a flight from anywhere in Europe, will cost about 1000 euros.

Space flight

In childhood, almost all boys dreamed of becoming astronauts, but only a few managed to achieve this goal. At least for now. But Mankind stands in the way of a real cosmic breakthrough - mass travel to the Earth's orbit.



The first space tourist was the American millionaire Dennis Tito in 2001, who paid the Russian Space Agency $20 million for his flight. But in the very near future, this amount may be reduced by almost a hundred times, because several private companies promise to start regular tourist flights to space at once.



The most famous of these endeavors is Virgin Galactic, which flies into suborbital space (above 100 kilometers) on SpaceShipTwo space shuttles.



In the fall of 2014, a shuttle in the Mojave Desert, but already this winter, its clone was put into operation.

Price flight on this ship is 200-250 thousand dollars. True, commercial flights from Virgin Galactic have not yet begun.

Hitchhiking to Vladivostok

In their youth, a huge number of people who want to see the world, but do not have enough money to do so, hitchhike. Some keep this hobby into adulthood, turning it into the main hobby of life.



It is these people, truly passionate about hitchhiking, that can go in this way almost all of Eurasia - to Vladivostok. The journey there from Moscow takes more than a month one way, but the people who made it really get to know Russia in all its beauty and squalor.



A hitchhiking trip to Vladivostok is not as dangerous as it might seem at first glance. The overwhelming majority of the inhabitants of Russia are wonderful people who are ready to help the traveler standing on the side of the road in every possible way. The extreme in such a trip comes from harsh climatic and living conditions, large distances between settlements and the lack of a normal road surface for many hundreds of kilometers of the road to the Far East.


Of course, not all people are ready to make even one of these trips. But this does not mean at all that the road to the End of the World is closed to them. After all, you can travel without even getting up from the couch. For example, using the Google Street View service, which allows you to get even into.

We spend our days in constant hustle and bustle. After all, this is the only way we can survive, trying to keep up with the quickly escaping time. And the long-awaited vacation seems just a fabulous dream, which may not come true if another collapse at work suddenly happens.

So rest with such a rhythm should be worthwhile. Relaxing on the beach or active and expressive, the choice is yours. But the main thing to remember is that you need to restore all the forces spent during the year. So think over your holiday with special care.

If you want to get away from everyday life, forget about all the problems, in general, get into another world. How about extreme tourism? Yes, it was his: with a storm of emotions, risk and unforgettable impressions. You just look at the familiar world with different eyes, as you would not dare before.

An ordinary vacation will not open up so many new and unrealistic things for you. Learn to overcome difficult obstacles, discover hidden abilities in yourself that you didn’t know about before. Alas, but living in urban reality, we lose our dexterity, turning into robots, repeating the same work every day.

Types of extreme tourism

Now there are many types of extreme recreation: skydiving, diving, windsurfing, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, climbing and others. In general, extreme options are varied. And every day there are more and more. But before you go on a risky journey, you need to go through a small course of preparation.

The old-timers of extreme recreation are skiing and snowboarding. Rushing down steep slopes, inhaling the frosty air with your chest and feeling a surge of strength - that's what attracts lovers ski holidays .

Getting more and more popular diving. In order to indulge in this sport, you need to get a certificate from a diving school. Preparation is very important, because you can face critical situations, and after completing the training course, you will be absolutely calm. And where do diving enthusiasts go? The most popular places today are Egypt, Thailand, because they are washed by warm seas with beautiful inhabitants and coral reefs. The mysterious and alluring water world has always attracted many travelers.

For class rafting you need to find turbulent rivers and a team of like-minded people. Many specially go in search of such rivers, not knowing the exact route. Of today's types of extreme water recreation, windsurfing and just surfing are also popular. They differ in the type of board, in windsurfing a board with a sail and stabilizer fins is used, and in surfing just an oval-shaped board. Floating on the waves, you will feel lightness and a sense of long-awaited freedom.

For those who prefer hiking or, in other words, trekking, there are many fascinating and beautiful routes, though you will have to spend a lot of effort, because crossing a river or hiking in the mountains is a difficult test. As an alternative to hiking, there are cycling, dangerous mountaineering and cave trips.

Speleotourism is a journey through natural caves. Traveling through naturally occurring caves involves a lot of risk. First of all, you need to find an experienced guide who will know the main entrances and exits of the cave.

Of the recently appeared exotic types of extreme recreation, the most famous are trips to the north and south poles. More and more people want to visit extreme climatic conditions and see northern animals.

Ethnotourism also belongs to the category of extreme - to visit the jungles of the Amazon or learn the life of African tribes - an activity not for the faint of heart. Often the guide is a local resident who knows all the nearby places, the language of the local population, customs and traditions. And travelers, taking a map and a compass with them, are laying new roads and paths, plunging further and further into tropical forests or African savannahs.

Space flight- this is the most expensive type of extreme recreation. See the human world from space, enjoy the beauties of the earth and feel the unusual weightlessness.

So, we can say that extreme tourism is an expensive form of recreation that attracts more and more people. All over the world, more and more new types of extreme sports are constantly being invented, as well as already known ones are being developed and improved. For example, well-known Skydiving from an airplane can now be done the same way from bridges, skyscrapers, rocks.

To extreme types of recreation, some include backpacking- travel light and with a minimum of money in your pocket.

On the territory of Russia, one of the promising places for tourism in extreme conditions are Altai, Kamchatka, Krasnodar Territory, Sakhalin.

Remember that whatever your vacation is: passive, active, emotional, adventurous, quiet or full of adventures and unexpected meetings, always get a surge of strength, emotions, unforgettable impressions from it.

Just allow yourself to forget the routine of everyday life and believe me, after the rest you will immerse yourself in your work with great pleasure, because new yet unknown journeys will await you. Do not stop at one type of recreation, experiment, try the most unusual types of extreme sports. Discover new places, traditions and customs of other nations.

We can say with confidence that life in our time is quite monotonous. Moreover, unlike the rural, pastoral monotony, the melancholy and boredom of cities harms not only the spirit, but also the body. Day after day we do the same job, watch TV or visit social networks, sometimes go to the gym to keep fit. Over time, all this becomes boring, especially since the life of a successful modern person is not limited only to work and casual leisure. A successful person differs from the rest by the fact that he knows how to use and uses his time with benefit and not without interest. And extreme sports often become part of such people, helping them not only to fully relax and unwind, but also to reveal their potential to 100%!

Are you ready to stand on the same level with those who have already achieved success? What do we conclude from this? Right! We say to extreme sports and recreation - yes! Next, I will tell you about what kind of extreme pastime may suit you, and you read and shake your head, because everything that I tell you is extremely important and interesting.

Types of extreme recreation

So, first of all, I would like to say that an extreme vacation is a vacation at the peak of activity. So, if any recreation is divided into active and passive, then extreme is included in the group of the most active! Often, in order to divide the types of extreme recreation, two categories are distinguished:

  • 1. Extreme tourism - which includes rafting, rock climbing, mountaineering, caving and so on. All of the above is somehow tied to tourism, which will require you to have a certain physical fitness and a lot of time;
  • 2. Extreme sport - this includes crossfit and power extreme. This category differs from tourism in the presence of a competitive element, as well as special requirements for the training of athletes.

We will talk about all these varieties of extreme sports in life further, revealing in detail each of these categories so that everyone can choose exactly what is interesting to him. But first, we want to dwell on another extremely important aspect of extreme recreation, which many underestimate and, subsequently, regret about it.

How to make every day memorable?

Surely you were expecting that now I will tell you about how important it is to enjoy every moment of life and all that ... yes, this is all important, but the advice that I wanted to give you is much simpler: shoot and take pictures! Yes Yes! Constantly, whether you are kayaking or playing lighter tag, turn on your camcorder and record it all. Believe me, your humble servant did a lot of interesting things in his life, but, alas, he did not think of filming at least part of his adventures on camera. Do I regret it? And what do you think? Instead of remembering past exploits while watching them or showing the children in the future what a daredevil I was, I will have to confine myself to a verbal description, and what ... memories tend to fade.

Therefore, so that you do not repeat my mistakes, I want to introduce you to an interesting gopro online store, which you will find at xtreme-sport.ru. Here you can find simply gorgeous cameras for a wide variety of extreme types of recreation, as well as a bunch of accessories for them. To be honest, the child in me woke up when I saw a quadcopter in their store ... really!? Having a radio controlled helicopter is a childhood dream of many!

But I will not deviate from the topic and let's get to the point.

So what to do on an extreme vacation?

So, let's go in order, and in the end I will tell you about several more types of extreme pastime that cannot be attributed to either tourism or sports.

  • — Rafting is nothing more than kayaking on rough mountain rivers. Especially common in the south of Russia, as well as in the Urals. This is due to the presence in both of these regions of a large number of mountains and, as a result, mountain rivers. Not suitable for everyone, due to the risk of injury and the need to have a steel character, coupled with an excellent reaction. Otherwise, you will simply be thrown onto the stones, which is not very pleasant.
  • - Rock climbing - everything is clear here: with the help of special equipment (wedges and rope) you climb mountains. Popular is the safe type of rock climbing in specialized clubs, where you will climb a special wall using insurance. By the way, the figure of climbers, both men and women, is truly a model, so if you want to always be in shape, this is a great choice for you!
  • Mountaineering and caving are two sides of the same coin. You either climb mountain peaks or descend into deep caves respectively. Of course, this requires not only experience, but also special physical and psychological preparation. You will need to be patient and always know exactly what to do next.
  • - Power extreme - the sport of real, brutal men who are ready to pull trucks, break chains and bend rebar. Power extreme is, of course, in some way a show, but the show is as real and spectacular as possible. Do you want to become big and at the same time popular? Those who watch the foreign series "Game of Thrones" based on the novel of the same name by George Martin will be surprised when they learn that "The Mountain", one of the key characters of the series, was played by the famous strongman from Iceland, Hafthor Bjornson. Draw your own conclusions.
  • - CrossFit is a more casual version of power extreme, which is suitable for active people. It will make you strong and hardy, preparing you for any adventures and life situations. It is very popular abroad and is gaining momentum in Russia, and all because crossfit (functional training) is available to everyone, and most importantly, it is practical and useful!
  • Lighter tag and paintball- types of extreme recreation that imitate fighting with firearms. In a laser tag, you hit opponents due to the reaction of sensors on your armor to a laser beam from your weapon, and in paintball everything is simpler - balls with paint. This is exactly the kind of vacation during which you will blow off steam and go home will be utterly pacified. Its advantage is that it does not require any preparation, paintball tournaments are arranged even for children.

That's all, my dear readers. I told you as best as I could about all the legal, interesting and safe types of extreme recreation that I know at the moment, and you must admit that any of them is better than gatherings in a bar or aimless walks around clubs. Be strong in body and spirit, rest properly and remember that the best rest is the one after which you want to have a good rest!
