Getting a little bored with soccer and basketball? Looking for something for fun to do on your weekends? Why not try out an alternative sport? Here’s a list of things you might want to try out in Singapore!

Cable Ski


If you love water sports, head down to SKI360! SKI360 is Singapore's first cable-ski park and is found at the East Coast Park Lagoon. Cable-Skiing or Cable Wakeboarding is basically water skiing or wakeboarding using the pull of a cable system that goes continuously around the lagoon. The lagoon has a cable rig set up that allows up to eight riders to be on the water at a time and has obstacles such as kickers, funbox, tabletop, and wallrides for riders to hit! Even if you are just a beginner, not to worry, just bring your suntan lotion and boardshorts and you’re good to go!

Le Parkour

 

Parkour aka PK, is the form of moving through your environment in the fastest, smoothest way possible using only your strength and skills. This can mean anything from simply running from point a to point b, to flipping off ledges and leaping between buildings. The term given to those who practice PK is Traceurs. Traceurs usually run a route with the intent of clearing it in the most direct manner with minimal amount of detours. When you seen the ninjas in modern movies, they are most likely doing a form of PK mixed with another martial art. Parkour sees a lot of jumps, flips, and even wall scaling. Pakour can be done in any environment, and there is no formal training for it.
