skipping

paintball

There are varies types of alternative sports. Examples of alternative sports

• paintball


• skipping or rope jumping


• bmx mountain biking
  
• dirt biking


• river/whitewater rafting


• cup stacking


• rock climbing


• mountainclimbing


• skateboarding


• rollerblading


• sailing
  
• wakeboarding

and much much more.

For me a definition of an alternative sports are sports that include a nature elements into it (eg.mountain climbing) or a entire different sports using conventional equiptment like cups for drinking.(eg cup stacking).

Alternative may not sounds interesting to some people for example cup stacking but I can tell u this that not all people can do cup stacking that fast.

This question had been featured in one of a local tv programme called "octo live" and they challenge local basketball national players to compete with them and they admit that cup staking is not easy.

From my point of view many more alternative sports will be created in near future as people are more creative and adventurous in doing activities.

Whether it is alternative sports or plain old sports, I guess both of them have many same qualities examples:

• Both can make a person mentally and physically fit.
  
• Need commitment

• Both neat years or dedication to be good in what your are doing

• Be sure that sweat are involve

• Have fun in what ure are doing is the most important thing.
