A typically British sporting event took place over the weekend, the Lawn Mower Grand Prix.
Minus the elegant backdrop of Monaco or the scantily clad ladies, this particular racing extravaganza takes place in a pub garden, accompanied by the inevitable bad day of weather. All the same, it looks likes great fun and the contestants certainly seem to enjoy the experience. My personal favourite was the driver, ‘Unidentified Racer’.
The races are split into 3 different different categories; slow, bit faster and slidy (that’s what it looks like to me).
Enjoy the action:

The world was gripped to their screens this week to see the daredevil skydiver, Felix Baumgartner, fall an incredible 24 miles from the edge of space, back down to terra firma. The feat captured the imagination of the the masses, as the stunt received widespread coverage in the mainstream news here in the UK. If you watched the jump live you would have seen the incredible images of Felix standing on the edge of his capsule with the curviture of the earth appearing dauntingly behind him, standing on the edge of the capsule and then, he jumps.
For a moment I thought he was out of control, his body spinning around and the coverage going silent, but then he regained control and reached the speed of 834mph, becoming the first human to break the sound barrier outside of a vehicle. This was a truly extreme act which we won’t be seeing challenged for many years, if not decades.
After Felix’s unreal world record, there must be some of you out there that want to take to the skies and pretend you’re jumping from the edge of space! Well, here at Extreme Activity Insurance we provide cover for the next best thing – Skydving insurance in the UK.

A brand new piece of equipment said to allow you to swim like a dolphin, diving in and out of the water, has been developed for your thrill-seeking pleasure.
We think it allows you to act like Iron Man!
The Flyboards have been shown off in the Gold Coast of Australia this week, as the prototype is ready to go on general sale.
The device attaches to any jetski and the pressure of the water allows the user to fly up to 10 metres above the water.
If that trailer has got you a little hot under the collar, wanting to try out this futuristic beauty, you may want to be aware that it will set you back a cool £7,000 to own one. I’m sure, however, there will be plenty of these about at extreme water sport destinations though, very soon.
