Extreme Wheelchair Sports

Many individuals that find themselves living life in a wheelchair begin to feel as though they can never perform any of the extreme sports they used to love ever again. How can an individual snowboard or water ski in a wheelchair? The truth is that most of the extreme sports in the world that are highly popular already have adaptations for individuals that have lost some or all of their lower body mobility.

Extreme wheelchair sports is an umbrella term encompassing several sports redesigned to be actively performed by athletes in wheelchairs. These sports can be anything from sit skiing to skydiving. There are no limits. Every year people that are living the wheelchair life compete in extreme power wheelchair motocross contests, trick riding contests, and even use specialized wheelchair based water skis. Whatever sport the human mind can conceive an individual in a wheelchair can achieve.

There are many world-wide organizations that act as focal points for this relatively new version of wheelchair sport. Such organizations as Extremechairing and Wheelchair Junkie are very popular and show the would be extreme wheelchair athlete just what can be accomplished. Whether the extreme athlete desires to climb sheer mountain surfaces, snowboard on some of the most treacherous slopes in the world, or leap off a bridge via wheelchair bungee or base jumping, it doesn't matter. There are athletes the world over that are constantly working on ways to improve their sport and bring their love of extreme challenges into their world with or without a wheelchair.
