Lunar Golfing
The epic moment of history was when mankind stepped foot on the moon. In 1971 when Alan Shepard the commander of the Apollo 14 and spent 9 hours on the moon exploring the surface, he legendarily knocked a couple of golf-balls with a 6-iron he had snuck in his spacesuit. Due to the lower gravitational pull of the moon’s surface he was able to drive the golf ball further away more than the professionals on earth could ever do.
This was a seed of reality that drove investors into thinking about Lunar-Tourism, offering golf trips on the land of the moon. It can be one of the coolest sports in far-future.
Iceberg Jumping
As the polar districts keep on heating up melting the snow-covered mountain peaks, it has grasped the attention of travelers; the Arctic associations have observed a noticeable change in tourism due to climate change.
Combine the upsurge of tourists with the increment in ice floes as gigantic bergs separate in the hotter temperatures, and the extraordinary game of iceberg-jumping appears to be everything except unavoidable.

Car racing is one of the oldest but still thriving sport. It has been evolving but the future might unveil a brand new level of car racing. The flying cars might just be the first of these energizing new tech-sports that you get the chance to participate in. The prototype of the flying car which is coined as Roadable-Aircraft exists. One of these prototypes has just taken its first flight and accomplished up to 65 mph and takes about 30seconds to convert into an aircraft. Once the prototype is improved and perfected the race-flying-cars will be the next step.
Soccer Off the earth
Soccer being the heart-throb sports for the whole world might change its face in the future. The sports news has observed that scientists have been experimenting with the idea of Low-Gravity soccer to be played “Off” the earth and they managed to construct a football that might be suitable in low-gravity. They equipped it with gyroscopes that compensate for the dearth of gravitational pull.
Space-Diving
Gasping at the space-dive in the Star Trek movie has made everyone wish to experience it in reality. Space diving or space jumping is an act of jumping from the Karman line, where the atmosphere of space starts. A handful of most daring people have tried to space-dive and some of them were successful.
