‘Adrenaline Sports Live!’ to Host Several Adventure Firsts in the Middle East! 

‘Adrenaline Sports Live!’ will be taking entertainment to an all time high with a stunning array of the latest sports and adventure pursuits on offer this November in Abu Dhabi. The region’s finest display of sports and outdoor activities promises to have something for everyone.

Visitors to the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre will be able to witness for the first time events and displays of activities such as zorbing (harnessed inside a gigantic, three metre high inflatable sphere for the ride of a lifetime), blokarting or land karting at 90 kilometres an hour, and wake-surfing.

Harnessed inside a nine-foot-wide inflated plastic sphere and sent rolling down the launch ramp, Zorbing is for anyone who’s ever wanted to travel at just under 40 kilometres an hour inside a huge inflatable ball. For the ultimate in joy rides with friends inside a harness-free ball that can be filled with enough water to make everyone slide around, it’s no surprise that everyone’s wanting to become a Zorbonaut.

The newest adrenaline sport to make its way to the Middle East from New Zealand, blokarting on a light, wind-powered go-kart can see you reach speeds of up to 90 kilometres an hour. Simply catch the wind in your sail as you power along inches above the ground. Blokarting is an amazing thrill designed and is the perfect adrenaline packed experience for all ages and abilities.

The latest sport for those who love the beach, wakesurfing combines surfing and wakeboarding. Wakesurfing avoids towropes once a rider is standing behind the boat – instead he or she surfs on the artificially created wave. The sport has already attracted three million fans in the US alone and is set to take the Middle East by storm.

To be displayed alongside dozens of other adrenaline sports, including Zap Cats, 4X4 rock driving, jet skiing, climbing, abseiling, wake boarding and more ‘Adrenaline Sports Live!’ is set to get pulses soaring across the Gulf.

“The region has such a young population and they’re keen to get involved, to have a go at something new,” said CMPi UAE’s Group Director, Chris Fountain. “They crave different challenges, and what’s on offer at ‘Adrenaline Sports Live!’ Is an alternative to the norm, not just for people who enjoy their sports but for anyone who wants to have a fun day out. We want people to come down to, participate, and discover a love that could last a lifetime.”

An industry worth over a billion dollars worldwide, Middle East sports fans and fun seekers have yet to enjoy the latest in adrenaline highs from around the world. With experts on hand, visitors will be able to talk to the professionals about their passions and get hands on at ‘Adrenaline Sports Live!’

“Everyone’s looking for something new, whether they’re into their sports or not. We’re delighted to be showcasing new activities to the region, sports that have been thrilling the public in the US, Europe, and Asia. We’re sure that visitors to ‘Adrenaline Sports Live!’ will feel the same way and that they will embrace these new alternative pursuits,” explained Farshid Rahimkhani, Managing Director of Dream Days.
