Speed riding is all about skiing and paragliding to exhilarating. Someone described speed riding as ‘falling down a mountain with grace’. Obviously this activity can be dangerous as coming down from a snow-covered mountain at 60mph might be risky. On the other hand, though, the combination of skiing and flying makes it as safe as only possible. Any time you see an obstacle, the only thing you need to do is to yank on a cord and the paragliding canopy above your head.

Finland is said to be home of the weirdest sports championships. The participants are ready to do almost anything to win the crown. As summer in Finland is short, Finns came up with silly but full of adrenaline activities in order to celebrate this lovely part of the year. The most of the year in Finland is dark, cold and rainy, so they wanted to celebrate the short presence of the sun and warmth.
