      Experience an exhilarating adrenaline rush with this National Public Radio guided tour of the ultimate in outdoor fun. The program includes interviews with climbers ascending sheets of vertical rock, air-boarders skimming the air above Oregon's Cascade mountains, sky divers flying in a vertical wind tunnel, and people running nearly impossible marathons. The active sounds of individuals engaged in their passions fit with their stories--the grunting and groaning of exertion while climbing and the splashing of salt water while watching whales from a kayak, for example. The combination of conversations layered with appropriate sound adds a unique dimension to listening. Those who purchase this audiobook will not only experience achievements they may never know but also contribute to NPR at the same time. J.A.H. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
