Let's Go For a Ride

The verb 'ride' is defined as "to move along in any way; be carried or supported". Life is a ride- metaphorically speaking. What are the other types of rides? There are many objects that can move or carry us, such as cars, bikes, balloons, but often ride implies a thrill. Here are some thrilling ways to ride.1. Skateboarding:Skateboards themselves are pieces of plywood with a pair of wheels. Riders stand on top of them and glide along pavement. This is very difficult not only due to the balance involved but also because of the fact that you are not strapped in. In the 1960s skateboarding became very popular and by the 80s they were being mass produced across the States. They are more of a sport then a mode of transportation. Serious skateboarders hang out in skate parks and challenge themselves by performing tricks off of ramps.2. Biking:Bike riding is a very enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. It's a great activity to do with friends, family, or on your own. If you're interested in exploring a new city or area, a bike is a great vehicle to take. Some people like to ride inner-city bicycles and use them as their mode of transportation. Others prefer off-roading with heavy mountain bikes. Like skateboarding, bike riding can be done as an extreme sport. BMX bikers for instance, ride off enormous ramps and are judged based on the tricks they are able to perform in the air.3. Hot air ballooning:For those of you looking for a thrill without having to do any work, why not go for a hot air balloon ride? Hot air balloon rides are the perfect way to explore the skies of a city. Take someone for their birthday, anniversary, or just for fun and enjoy a champagne toast in flight. Balloon pilots are well trained and will take care of everything for you.4. Horseback riding:Horseback riding is one of the world's oldest pastimes. Traditionally horses were used to travel short distances. People would either saddle up and actually ride the horse themselves, or they would attach a buggy, which they could sit in. Today, horseback riding is done mostly as a pastime. While some people who live in rural areas do it for fun, others are much more serious. There are riding competitions all over the world, including the Olympics, with many competitive categories to choose from.So there you have it, a few examples of thrilling rides. Some old, some new, some extreme.
