The extreme “sport” you’re not likely to see at the X-Games

HERE AT MATADOR SPORTS, we profile all sorts of extreme sports, from the conventional to the not-so-much. So let us be the first to introduce you to the newest, most adventurous of adventure “sports”: extreme skipping.

Remember, don’t try this at home: it takes a hell of a lot of practice to skip like these masters.
