Adrenalin sports: Quad biking

If you want to get more active, but find conventional sports like football and tennis a bit boring, how about trying something more extreme? We've taken a look at the top six adrenalin inducing sports, so that when you're active, you're having the most exciting time possible!

Brad Pitt

Maddox and Brad Pitt


Quad biking
Quad bikes are four-wheeled bikes, especially made for all-terrain riding. They look like a tiny car, and work like a motorbike, but they're very powerful, hard to handle and turn over very easily!

Ozzy Osbourne had a bad accident while quad biking back in 2003. Ozzy ended up on a ventilator (a machine to help him breathe) and broke his collarbone, eight ribs and a vertebra in his neck. He recovered, but he was lucky.

Brad Pitt is also a fan of the sport, and has introduced son Maddox to quad biking too - with the six year-old wearing a safety helmet of course. Lots of outdoor pursuits centres run courses in quad biking, which is a great way to try out the sport. But take it seriously, listen to the safety instructions and don't mess about - it's not worth ending up like Ozzy.
