We like to introduce to you the 5 cities in the US which are perfect if you love the extreme. There is something for everyone – climbing, biking,  surfing, skiing…1. Charlotte, NC

Charlotte isn’t just another quiet little town down south. Extreme sports fans can enjoy climbing and whitewater rafting at the U.S. National Whitewater Center. There are also incredible mountain biking trails in Brevard, NC. 2. Denver, CO

This City is so close to the Rocky Mountains! It’s a paradise for passionate climbers: from alpine to bouldering, single-pitch to multi-pitch. The mountains are also perfect for hiking, biking, and trail running, and of course for skiing and snowboarding in the winter. Longmont at the Mile-hi Skydiving Center is the spot for going skydiving. 3. Las Vegas, NV

Not only gamblers will enjoy this City!  The desert offers climbing opportunities at the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, and Bryce Canyon National Park. Whitewater rafting or kayaking the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon are also great adventures. You need to book a rafting trip in spring for the perfect temperature. 4. Paia, HI

Located on the north shore of the island of Maui, Paia is an awesome spot for surfers and other ocean explorers. It’s the ideal place for wave-jumping and kite surfing. 5. Austin, TX

This city is made for every kind of extreme sport, for example climbing at the Barton Creek Greenbelt or off-roading and dirt biking at Austin Del Valle Motocross Park. It also offers opportunities to try out fly boarding. Austin has it all!
