187,000 Views - Click for Larger Image If the NBA is boring you, it’s time to get into new extreme sports, like fireball soccer, rocket packs, ostrich racing and flipping wheelchairs.  Adrenaline Rush focuses on the top 20 new extreme sports, and NONE of them resemble the NBA in the slightest. Other new extreme sports include skydiving from space, batman rope, jet boarding and the Flybar Elastomeric extreme pogo stick.  Most of these are not sports you’ll find on tv, so if you truly are looking for an NBA replacement, try professional pillow fighting.  Via: trendhunter
