There will be no need to be bored alone or in a company.

The long-awaited warmth is returning outside. And that means you can’t sit still. Active entertainment for late spring and summer is just a lot. We decided to remind you about some of them, so that you will have something to do outside.

Cityfrisbee is a frisbee game within the city, using its infrastructure and street elements that are fun to “interact” with. Anything you want to do, you can try. Simply tossing a skeet from one end of the street to the other at range, or experimenting with multi-level bounces. It will all depend on your throwing skill, and then come into play with throws and kicks, throws from behind your head and back, etc.

Riding on the pumptrack

The asphalt is now dry and you can go out to roll around on the usual boards, bikes and scooters. For the last few years, the culture of riding on the pump track has been gaining momentum and developing quite strongly. Hardly anyone will be surprised by the lumpy platform of concrete, which can be found in the parks of the city. Your task will be to drive a whole lap, it is not so easy. We tested it, and we failed.

Longboarding

With this type of board culture, you need to familiarize yourself with it first. At the very least, you’ll need a board and a couple of lessons with an instructor or someone who already rides confidently. There’s nothing complicated about riding itself, but a couple of introductory lessons will definitely come in handy to avoid stiffness in movement and abrasions and sprains. And then – just get on your way. Parks, embankments and streets will open up to you from a new perspective.

Streetball

Street ball games have always been a street classic. It couldn’t be otherwise: American culture has played its part. Hip-hop, baggy pants and graffiti-painted playgrounds have been imprinted in our heads. Street basketball is the quintessential lifestyle. Drive, emotion and sport in its purest form. What does it take? Basically, nothing unique: a ring on the wall, a minimum of markings and a ball. If you haven’t tried it, now’s the time. The street knows how to overcome fears, indecision and sadness.

Nordic Walking

If you are not a fan of light extreme, but your soul and body require physical activity, Nordic walking may interest you. From the equipment you need only walking sticks and suitable shoes. And then it’s just a matter of getting used to the pace.
