25. Riot Tourism

Ok, here’s the disclaimer: Beastsheds does not support riots, molotov cocktails, burning effigies, or anything of the sort. With that said, however, this rapidly growing pastime was just too crazy to keep off the list. People actually scour the world looking for riots to join. What you do with this information is up to you.

24. Yak Skiing

If you ever make it out to Manali, India you absolutely have to check this extreme sport off of your bucketlist. Participants start out on skis at the bottom of a large slope while they are attached by rope to a yak that it is at the summit. On the yak’s end the rope passes through a pulley system connected to a tree. The brave soul at the bottom then shakes a bucket of pony nuts to attract the yak’s attention just before being catapulted up the hill at breakneck speed. The one piece of advice offered to every willing participant: don’t shake the bucket before you are attached to the rope.

19. Waterfall Kayaking

There’s not really much to explain here. You need a kayak…and a waterfall.

18. Shark Surfing

There is a lot of dispute out there right now as to whether this has actually been done yet or not.

15. Experience Weightlessness

On the topic of zero gravity, why not just go all the way? Although it comes with a hefty price tag, With space tourism on the rise this may become a feasible addition to your bucket list in the near future.

13. Underwater Golf

While most of your high school buddies will retire on the beach and spend their days playing golf next to the water, allow us to make a suggestion – play golf under the water. Seriously though, having started in a Chinese aquarium underwater golf is just another way to set your eulogy apart from the others.

12. Zorbing

10. Break a Record

It sounds hard right? Wrong. Here’s the secret, you don’t actually have to break a record to break a record. You can just make up your own…the most neon green paperclips ever attached to the back bumper of a 1993 Chevy Impala tricked out with bulletproof spinners…that’s all you.

9. Find Waldo

Once and for all, but don’t stop there. Tie that striped joker down in the middle of the white house lawn and leave him. Enough children have already wasted their precious childhoods trying to find a ridiculous red suit. You’ll be a hero to the masses.

No seriously, stop just talking about it and actually kill two birds with one stone.

It’s one of the only two places on Earth where you’ll be facing the same direction no matter which way you turn. And besides, you’re on top of the world. That in itself should be enough.
