Canada vacations can provide some of the most enjoyable breaks from work. Especially if you're in a warm country Women's Carl Nassib Jersey , the colder climate can make a nice change for once; you might not want to live there, but as a vacation destination Canada can really deliver. The way the world is with so many countries at war, the socially indifferent and politically free Canadians can be a very welcoming community. And Canada has so much to offer, what with all its history Women's Emmanuel Ogbah Jersey , places to visit, cultural activities and sport activities such as White water rafting. Then there's its spectacular countryside offering all kinds of activities for all.
So where could you visit during your vacation in Canada?
There are so many great places in Canada to visit, that you'd have to make a number of trips just to see the most interesting parts. Canada is the second biggest country in the entire world after all, from Alberta to Quebec to Ontario to British Columbia Women's Corey Coleman Jersey , there is plenty to see. Then add to that Manitoba, Vancouver Island, and Newfoundland (not actually a part of Canada, but very close by). Probable the first places on your list to visit should be the best known internationally tourist attractions; the incredible Niagara Falls Women's Zane Gonzalez Jersey , the equally grand Jasper National Park and the spectacular Banff National Park.
Ok, so what activities will you be able to participate in while in Canada?
Obviously hiking in such a grand environment would be spectacular, but if you're one of those people who need a little more action you definitely won't be disappointed. Some of the best locations for white water rafting can be found here and then there are other water sports such as kayaking and boating to consider. One of the best places to participate in these activities would be the longest river in Canada, the Mackenzie Women's Howard Wilson Jersey , which begins in the Northwest Territories and eventually ends at the Hudson Bay.
If water sport isn't for you, you could always visit some of the wilder regions where fishing and hunting activities bring in an abundance of pro and non pro sportsmen. And you could also go and see a hockey game at one of the most well known Canadian hockey Stadiums. Then there's the French Canadian cuisine, you just have to try some of the specialties like the gallettes, the maple syrup and galumpkies.
If all this doesn't interest you Women's Larry Ogunjobi Jersey , why not consider actually getting away from all the tourist attractions and sporting activities and take a closer look at the Canadian culture. Meet the people, participate in their cultural activities, take a look into their history (interestingly free from international trouble). This is something few tourist actually do, but it is the only way to really get to know a country and its culture.
Whether it's just the pure beauty of the Canadian wilderness that interests you or it's the pure adrenalin you seek from speeding down a river in a raft or the challenge of climbing Canada's highest mountain situated in the Canadian Rockies Women's David Njoku Jersey , Mount Robson, in British Columbia, Canada has something to offer all of us. The only question is will you let the opportunity pass you by? Skateboarding is an amazing sport that not everyone is able to do. Even those that have been skating for quite some time may find it hard to do complicated moves. Therefore it is important to give some recognition for those amazing skateboarding records out there. While other people will continue to strive to beat them, the bar has been set quite high.
Rob Thomson took 2 ? years to skateboard and it took him 850 days. He holds the record for the longest journey taken on a skateboard. This is approximately 7 Women's Jabrill Peppers Jersey ,500 miles that he covered along this incredible journey. He completely worn out three pairs of shoes, plenty of skating wheels, and two decks by the time he was finished as well.
Ted McDonald wanted to get a record for his skateboarding trip too, but he didn?t have the same amount of time to put in. He skated though for 24 hours and completed 242 miles barefoot. At least he didn?t go through multiple pairs of shoes like Thomson did right?
There are a couple of individuals out there that also hold multiple records. Danny Way has a few of them that are definitely worth mentioning here. First Women's Myles Garrett Jersey , he successfully accomplished jumping the Great Wall of China, a feat that no one had done before on just a skateboard. Second, he holds the record for the longest jump ever, and at 79 feet it is going to be very hard for someone to take over this title.
Rob Dyrdek holds more than 20 skateboarding records according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Most of them he was able to accomplish in 2007 when the Guinness Book of World Records held such a competition. Some of the events he is the top dog for include the longest 5050 rail grind at a distance of 100 feet Women's Nick Chubb Jersey , 215 ollies in a row without stopping, and the highest skateboarding jump into water using a ramp which he set with 10 feet and 8 inches.
The highest ollie recorded and verified is at 44 ? inches by Danny Wainwright. There have been videos out there circulating of other people doing ollies that could be up to 50 inches. However, they haven?t been verified and so they don?t get the credit some feel they deserve.
For more than a decade Gary Hardwick has been able to maintain the record he set for the fastest speed. He reached 63 miles per hour in 1998 while racing in Arizona. There is a separate record for doing the same thing with a jet pack on. This goes to Billy Copeland and he was able to reach a speed of 70 miles per hour this way.
