Top 7 world extreme sports events that you can visit (and maybe take part in)

Extreme sports and games are everywhere, from the most classic to the weirdest and most original. For example, there is a community dedicated to extreme ironing where participants go to remote locations with ironing boards and unplugged irons. Ironists, as they call themselves, have recorded themselves ironing in caves, underwater, hanging from cliffs, and water skiing.

Most people are into “conventional” extreme sports, though. If you want to see people enjoy the most extreme moments to the fullest, these are the best events to attend. Perhaps you’ll want to join them next year!

1. The Dakar Rally, Dammam, Saudi Arabia

The Dakar Rally is an annual off-road endurance rally. The event was originally staged from Paris, France, to Dakar, Senegal, and now changes locations each year. The rally is open to amateur and professional entries.

The 45th edition of the rally returns on December 31, 2022, and will run until January 15, 2023. The track is different from all the previous ones, so it’ll be interesting to see how drivers will handle the new 14-stage race. 

2. The International Festival of Extreme Sports (FISE), Montpellier, France

The FISE is the largest freestyle sports event in Europe. It hosts competitions for skateboarding, BMX, wakeboarding, rollerblading, parkour, and slopestyle mountain biking. And the best thing about the event is free admission for all; you just need to get a digital pass.

The professional event will begin in early February 2023, and the rookie event is scheduled for March 2023. 

6. Calcio Storico Fiorentino, Florence, Italy

The event takes place every year in June in different cities across Italy.
