Among new-age sports, I’m sure you’ve heard of Parkour (which, I’d argue, is more art than sport).
Another one I came across is called Liquid Mountaineering. That’s a misnomer; it’s Running on Water.
How is it possible, you ask?
Evidently, by running fast enough!
Jesus only managed to walk on water; these guys just pwned Jesus.

From the look of it, walking on water would be much more difficult

@Ruban: You are of course right.
But you assume Jesus used the same strategy as these guys to walk on water.
I assume he used divine powers, which only went so far as to let him walk. [:)]

Made me think of a recent program called “Focused” that I caught on HD Theater. Check these out.

Produced by Matchstick Productions http://www.mspfilms.com, these videos and similar ones of other alternative sports capture the feat in such spectacular fashion that you almost get a vicarious adrenalin rush just watching it!

@V: Oh, that’s base jumping. You’ll find base jumpers at all skydiving locations.
