Five Totally Rad Outdoor Equipment That Will Excite Your Inner Kid
Posted on by Beckworth & Co
A lot of us live fairly tame, even mundane lives where nothing exciting can happen for days or even weeks. This unavoidable consequence of modern life can be torturous to those who are “born to be wild”. These children at heart find it difficult to sit still, they’re always daydreaming of being outdoors and clear blue skies. They hate to be confined and are always longing for an adrenaline rush, the wind hitting their face, their hair standing on end.
The good thing is when you’re already an adult, nothing can stop you from doing extreme outdoor activities during your free time. It’s likely that you are now bigger, faster, and stronger than your kid self. Plus, you no longer have to ask your parents to buy you equipment! If -you want to relive the excitement of your childhood days (provided that your hips and knees can still take it), here are five absolutely rad outdoor equipment you should buy.
Kites have always fascinated kids of all ages and genders and now that you're an adult, you can get an oversized one that can even pull you on your skateboard or paddleboard! If a parafoil is too much, then what you need is a stunt kite so you can catch some air while keeping your feet on the ground.

Complaints
Impressive wingspan
Good control, great starter stunt kite
High quality construction
Needs lots of wind to be able to get off the ground
Some customers complained that their kits broke after a crash
The pogo stick has been around since the 60's and it is always a hit with every kid. If you haven't tried it yet, you definitely should, it is insanely fun once you get the hang of it!
Compliments
Complaints
Inexpensive but fun
Feels sturdy and well-built
Weight limit is a bit higher than others

Might not bounce for kids under 80 lbs.
A customer said the unit fell apart after a few days of use
If you thought skateboarding is extreme, then you haven't tried mountainboarding yet. With an all-terrain mountainboard, you won't need a half pipe anymore, you can conquer any mountain slope and only you get to decide your limit.
If you ever wanted to play sumo to let some aggression out, a zorb ball is what you need to get. You can also use this if you want your kid to run around freely without getting into an accident.

Complaints
Durable, can withstand rough play
Fairly safe
Easy to inflate and deflate

If you ever wondered how it feels to have superhuman legs, you merely need to get a pair of jump stilts. With something that will allow you to jump-run like a video game character, it's difficult to find a reason why you should not get one.
