Adventures
 There is a little daredevil in
everyone and South Jersey has plenty of places where you can
test your mettle, from a mild thrill to a full-blown
adrenalin rush.
Start gently and work up to full-blown adventure with a
guided bide ride through South Jersey's roads and trails.
Action Wheels in Deptford leads a variety of rides for
all levels of expertise. Join in one of their easy flat
trail outings or a go-for-broke mountain expedition.
For anyone who has ever been accused of driving with a lead
foot, the
Atco Raceway lets you do it legally. Hitch a ride with
professional speed demons for a few laps around the track in
a real race car. Then when you get the nerve to try the real
thing,
Doug Foley's Drag Racing School at Atco will put you
behind the wheel and teach you the maneuvers racers use on
the track. Or learn how to race the dirt tracks at
Bridgeport Speedway. The experts will teach you the
tricks to safe speeding during several racing schools held
throughout the season.
As if leaping out of a plane at 14,000 feet isn't daring
enough,
Freefall Adventures in Williamstown ups the thrill
factor with X-treme skydiving out of a turbine helicopter.
Whether you are an experienced skydiver certified for solo
jumps or a first-timer going for a tandem dive with a
professional parachutist, the company combines safety with
excitement for an adrenalin-filled adventure in the skies.
And as long as the skies are clear, the Black Tie Balloon
Team of Southampton will launch you up above the birds for a
sky view of the Rancocas Creek region. If dangling hundreds
of feet in the air in the basket of a balloon doesn't make
you gasp, the view will.
So whether you are an enthusiastic spectator, enthusiastic
amateur or enthusiastic thrill-seeker, head to South Jersey
where "good sports" can always find good sports.
