The two Point Break Movies (1991 and 2015) have a lot of interesting concepts like gangs of surfers fighting the system and recklessly globetrotting. I really like that they also promote the benefits of doing extreme sports. Of course, they have their distinctive flavors, but the newer one is particularly intriguing because it features various extr...
Namely, this list started as a fictional construct on the big screen. However, after the success of the movie, it caught people’s imagination and transformed into reality. Many have begun preparing for outstanding and mind-boggling stunts. So, the list is now perceived as an embodiment of extreme challenges that invite daredevils to return to Mothe...
Let us start with the Emerging Force. This is one of the two ordeals that were not shown in the movie, but we know exactly what kind of adventure it includes. Basically, it is a rafting “excursion” that takes you to treacherous Inga rapids of the Congo River. Now, just like most exploits on this list, this one is incredibly dangerous. Yes, kayaking...
Birth of Sky is a base jumping feat from the highest point in the world— Mt Everest. We do not see it in the movie, but it is definitely something that has been done in practice. That being said, this stunt has been officially recorded only once, when a Russian BASE jumper Valery Rozov made headlines. Of course, you do not have to climb the highest...
Our next ordeal is Life of Water. In Point Break, protagonists surf a massive 60-foot wave on the French Coast and live to tell the tale. How very convenient for them. Yet, make no mistake: this is big wave surfing at its finest and also deadliest. One additional problem for those who would like to try it out is that in those French Polynesia water...
This one is an exhilarating wingsuitexploit. The flight shown in the movie made history— it was the first time 5 fliers navigated the narrow ravine is Switzerland, which is simply called “Crack”. So, believe it or not, it was not the CGI you saw on screen. The reason why no one did it before is that it is a very dangerous place to experience in a w...
This one is not your typical ski hill. It requires you to find an unridden line and slope down it like a pro. You also need a helicopter to drop you off somewhere that looks formidable enough. All of this should suggest that it takes an expert snowboarder to complete such trails. I mean, even going out of bounds of a ski resort could prove to be qu...
The seventh ordeal is also one of the two that involves Angel Falls, the highest waterfall in the world. As seen in the movie, it dares you to climb a steep cliff face without any safety gear. After you have mastered the six lives on previous ordeals, this one comes at a crucial step, one that takes you to the enlightening summit of your life. Well...
If you want to experience Awakening Earth, then you go on a skydiving adventure and perform sky-to-earth BASE jumpinginto Caves of Shadows in Mexico. This stunning wonder of nature is the deepest natural cave shaft ever discovered and it is certainly awe-inspiring. It is hard to imagine another place that would do Awakening Earth justice. You might...
One of the riskiest on the list is the last test, the Act of Ultimate Trust. It also takes place at the Angel Falls in Venezuela and entails an act of jumping off without the rope. Sounds like a thing someone with a death wish would do, does it not? Bodhi and Johnny Utah survived landing in a raging river below and it is technically possible to rep...
Ono Ozaki was an eco-warrior in Point Break (2015) who created The Ozaki 8 trials to nature as a challenge to extreme athletes.
