Ever wonder where Wakeboarding ranks in the extreme sports fanbase? Just how popular is the sport compared to other extreme sports? Well, we did some research and found out. The Sun-Sentinel recently posted an article on the growing fanbase in extreme sports, and you would be surprised what was on the list. Everything from wakeboarding and inline skating to ultimate frisbee and cardio kickboxing. Although, I don't know that I would consider those extreme sports they are more popular than lacrosse, beach volleyball, fast-pitch softball, rugby, field hockey, ice hockey and roller hockey! Of the list of 14 extreme sports, wakeboarding ranked number 10, with a fan base of 3,521,000 in 2007 (meaning that many people above the age of 6 participated at least oncein 2007). The article blames the rising fuel costs for the lower ranking. While, inline skating got number one with 10,814,000. For the full article check it out here. Extreme Sports Growing fanbase
