Sergio Garcia’s Extreme Golf

We know that golf isn’t the most extreme sport in the world, more a leisurely walk with sticks and balls. However, Sergio Garcia showed off his own, extreme version of the game last weekend.

Sergio, who shanked his tee-shot into the trees, would have expected his ball to be lying in an awkward position but it turned out to be slightly trickier than just playing out of the rough. The ball had actually lodged itself up a tree.

See how Sergio managed to get out of this predicament here.

Maybe the PGA or whover runs golf should think about adding more obstacles like this, slap bang in the middle of the course. Who deosn’t want to see golfers climbing trees to take their shots?

Extreme Exercising

Do not try this in your gym.

Firstly, you may do some serious damage to yourself. Secondly, you’re likely to annoy every other person in the gym by showing off and hogging the equipment.

However, this clip does showcase some seriously impressive techniques and incredible strength. The guys featured in the video come from a miriad of different extreme backgrounds.

Making up the video we see techniques and agility that Damien Walters (Stuntman), Tim Sheiff (Free-runner) and Greg Townley (Tumbling champion) in the gym that these extreme athletes use when they’re plying their trade outside in their chosen fields.

We’re then treated to some spectacular tumbling action to round off the video.

Who thought you could backflip with weights?

Taking extreme videography to the limit

The quest to find the perfect waterfall brought together kayakers, photographers and thrill-seekers to the fearsome canyons in the Mexican region of Tlapacoyan.

Daredevil kayakers Erik Boomer, Tyler Bradt  and Galen Volckhausen were given the task of riding the rapids of the river, whilst photographer Tim Kemple captured the action from some stunning vantage points. As well as expert kayaking skills, this video also required some highly professional photograhy and videography techniques to encapsulate how dangerous and beautiful this extreme sport can be.

The most breath-taking scene required Tim to lever and suspend himself directly over the waterfall to capture the momet the kayakers took the 35 metre high drop, down the the bottom.

This short film called ‘Cascada’ shows off this extreme quest in all of its glory.

Here at Ansell we provide cover for the most extreme of activities, including kayak insurance and adventure toursim insurance.
