Do you want to start an action, extreme sport or adventure? Like driving race cars, or climbing Everest, or diving with sharks, or in Egypt's deadly Blue Hole, etc. but have no idea how? I realized that trying to learn by watching RedBull or Nat Geo videos is far from ideal. Although they are greatly entertaining, they only feature professional athletes with years of experience, training, amazing resources and lots of time -- things a regular guy like me don't have. If this sounds familiar to you, this podcast will get you covered.
If you are like me and prefer the outdoors than a casino, then here are two tips for great motorcycle rides around Vegas: The Red Rock park loop and through the Valley of Fire.

DalleMule argues that these decisions, which he terms "LEAP decisions," are not impulsive, but rather involve a complex interplay of logic, emotions, assertiveness, and permanence. He presents insights from intervi...
I learned to ride motorcycles 9 months ago. I had never been in anything with an engine and 2 wheels before. But it is the most amazing feeling. I am completely addicted and want to get better, on and off the roads. Doing a track day, I believe, it the best way to improve your skills and become a safer rider -- even for those who do not want to race. Here are some tips of how to do it.
I have always been afraid of hang gliding. Maybe because while growing up in Brazil in the 80s, it was common to hear tragic stories of hang gliders dying in "Pedra da Gavea", a famous cliff in Rio de Janeiro. But I found a way to take classes, get the training, and bypass my fears. And I loved it!

You watched Free Solo with Alex Honnold or Dawn Wall with Tommy Caldwell and want to rock climb? I hope so! Climbing is awesome.

Although it was not the main plan, I had the chance to paraglide in the Austrian Alps and it was just amazing. I know I am putting this short podcast under Skydiving, BUT I am thinking paragliding could be a good, soft intro to skydiving, for those too afraid to jumping off a plane for the first time. Plus, paragliding is just awesome by itself!
Diving in the Great Barrier Reef was in my bucket list for a long time and it was very worth it -- the only challenge is getting to Australia! I will give you some tips I learned doing my research before I got there and what I learned after I dived.

This is just a description of what I did and how I did it -- I do not recommend anyone to follow my steps and dive in caves without proper training. Listen at your own risk!

In this episode I will talk about diving with sharks. The different ways to do it and how. This is something super close to my heart, as I am part of the Maritime Aquarium (CT) dive team and regularly dive with sharks to maintain the tank, do presentations to customers, and generally take care of our seven '8-foot babies'. Also, my daughter runs an org called teens4sharks (www.teens4sharks.com), dedicated to protect, conserve and educate about sharks. So sharks run in the family!
