Do you know of other extreme sports? Describe them.

I've heard about other sports such as:
BASE Jumping: is very extreme activity that includes a parachute to jump from fixed objects, with unopened parachute like skydiving. The acronym “B.A.S.E.” stands for: Building, Antenna, Span, Earth – four categories of objects from which B.A.S.E. jumper can jump.
Canoeing: extreme canoeing. These extreme guys race specialised canoes and kayaks down a dangerous whitewater rivers. There is also such a class like Extreme Canoe racing, that includes much more complicated rapids, leave it for real pros.
BLOBBING: they take a giant air bag, set it in the middle of a lake, put a person on one end, and have someone else jump onto the other end. The higher/heavier the jumper, the bigger the liftoff!
PARKOUR: Also known as freerunning, parkour is the art of moving over obstacles as quickly and efficiently as possible. No equipment needed; parkour can be practiced practically anywhere. The bigger the obstacle, the greater the risk.

Have you ever tried an extreme sport or done a dangerous activity?
Unfortunatelly I had never had the opportunity to practice any of these sports however I would like to have a go.
If you have, describe your experience.
If you haven't, would you like to?
I would like to try parachuting and sky diving I think it is a marvelous experience.
