On this blog we have covered a number of new and innovative extreme inventions, some of which really do look like they pack a real buzz. Some of which are just ridiculous (uh um), but I have to say, this interesting little thing from Hungary is probably one of the better new extreme sports toys to be unveiled. The Gauswheel, invented by 2 Hungarian engineers has become the must have item amongst the urban crowd in the country’s capital. It is said that the product ‘provides you with a similar experience of skiing as those techniques are required to be able to use and enjoy the device even short of snow-capped peaks just throughout the squares of Budapest.’ Now, I think that they are trying to say that the Gauswheel offers you the chance to feel as if you are skiing on dry land. Check out this video to witness what it has to offer:

A new initiative in Sunderland is taking advantage of the building excitement of the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The city is determined to feel involved with the huge occasion, and are providing a scheme called ‘Active Sunderland’, which aims to give everyone in the city a chance to try out new activities, many of which are extreme sports. Everyone in the city, regardless of age or ability, can get involved.
Active Sunderland is organising a number of sporting festivals, projects and activities in the hope of inspiring young people to become more involved in sport and possibly become future Olympic athletes.
From next month there will be chances to take part in everything from extreme sports like rock climbing and kayaking, to taster sessions from sports clubs and master classes from the city’s elite coaches and athletes.
In 2012, Active Sunderland Olympic Month will run from July, 27 – September, 9 to coincide with the games.

A new extreme sport insurance category?
A stuntman from England has invented a new sport that will host it’s first ever world championships this summer. This sport is called horse boarding and involves a rider being town along at speeds up to 35-mph, on a board, by a rope attached to a galloping horse. The horse also has a rider. The sport does look somewhat cumbersome but does seem as though it could offer a great thrill for the rider and a great competitive race.
I’m sure that horse boarding is not yet on the list of extreme activities that Ansell offers great insurance cover for but I’m sure that it could be in time. Get in touch now if your interested in any similar activities such as skate boarding insurance, horse riding insurance, or any extreme sports insurance. To read more about this new sport take a look at this article:
