About 8 months ago I became a member of Yanik Silver and his Maverick Business Adventures program not quite sure what to expect – but man – what a ride it has been.

This group of Business Experts, from all types of industries, are brought together several times a year and partake on Extreme Adventures and yet they still carve out a lot of time to Network and hold business strategy sessions that you cannot find anywhere else in the world. People like Michael Filsame, Vic Johnson, Gerald Romine, Carrie Wilkerson and too many others to mention all come together in a very informal “Business Mastermind” setting – but the “Brotherhood” that is created is unparalleled…

Yanik Silver is introducing the Maverick Business Insiders Newsletter Yanik Silver – a Founder of Maverick Business Adventures is announcing the Maverick Business Insiders News Letter on Nov. 6 2008. Yanik says, “It’s for high achievers & business owners who want unique, one-of-a-kind experiences with exclusive business building, high-level networking & powerful connections that occur outside ‘normal’ business settings…while having tons of fun.

Here is what the Maverick Business Adventure site says:

“Here is a chance for you to combine a truly unique, one-of-a-kind experience with exclusive business building, high level networking, deal making & powerful connections that only occur outside the ‘normal’ business settings. Plus incredible fun (that’s even legitimately tax deductible)! Maverick Business Adventures is an “invitation-only” membership exclusively for successful entrepreneurs, CEOs and business owners who want to live life to the fullest, create business breakthroughs and give back through charity and education to empower future entrepreneurs“.

I am a Member of the Maverick Business Adventures and also a part of Yanik’s Exclusive Mastermind Inner Circle and I have to tell you that in just one meeting with the Maverick’s I was able to take some of the private business building strategies that were discussed on our Aspen Business Adventure and parlay those topics into Multiple Thousands of Dollars. Being a member of Yanik Silver and his Maverick Business Adventure as well as the Maverick Business Insider Newsletter opens a huge window of opportunity Until now these business training sessions were private and extremely exclusive.

This is the first and only membership of successful, like-minded entrepreneurs and top achievers to come together to land really live life to the fullest. With the creation of the Maverick Business Insiders Newsletter, Yanik has pulled back the curtain and is allowing everyone the opportunity to receive extreme business building secrets that, until now, were considered off limits to outsiders.

Obviously extreme sports get your attention. The have garnered the attention of the U.S. military who has recognized that anyone involved in extreme sports would be good candidates to recruit for their hard to fill special operations positions like the Army Rangers and Navy Seals.

So what is it that makes a sport extreme? Let’s take a look at some of the most popular ones

One of the main factors that make a sport extreme is the element of risk of injury or even death. In nearly every sport that is classified in this way you will usually find speed, heights, danger, and stunts. I believe the thing that causes people to become addicted to participating in these sports is the adrenaline rush associated with them. Adrenaline is much like morphine when released in the brain and I see people who just can’t seem to get enough no matter how many times they are hurt.

The first of the extreme sports was probably skateboarding. Introduced in the 1960′s as a way to stay in shape when the surf wasn’t up, skateboarding became a sport of its own and soon competitions were formed with riders jumping over cars and doing tricks in half pipes where they would be floating thirty feet or more above the bottom of the platform. There has been a lot of negative press directed at skateboarders but lately skateboarding is gaining mainstream recognition and is being appreciated worldwide.

Snowboarding is another extreme sport with its own radical characters and is essentially skateboarding on snow. Snowboarders perform many tricks that are the same or similar to those in skateboarding and like skateboarding, the sport has caught on internationally. Today, on any ski slope in America, you will find snowboarders.

Sport climbing is a variation of rock climbing that has become very popular over the years and is enjoyed by those who care more about displaying and testing their strength and athletic ability than adventure.

Skydiving is an extreme sport that is much less competitive but highly dangerous. It is the initial jump that is the biggest thrill with skydiving. There are more competitions being formed now in skydiving with groups forming shapes and creating chains for records before opening their shoots.

The attraction to watching sports where the outcome is unpredictable is growing larger, especially with younger children. No doubt as more people begin to participate in these sports they will seem less and less extreme.
