In case skydiving isn't daring enough, a twist on the extreme sport ups the ante. Skyaking combines the extreme altitudes of skydiving with the vehicular and aquatic aspects of kayaking.

According the Telegraph, Idaho resident Miles Daisher says he has "jumped out of four different aircraft, including a helicopter." He has tried skyaking in multiple continents and is in his eighth year of jumping from altitudes reaching 13,000 feet.

Scroll down to watch Daisher in action.

Awesome, except.... this is nothing new. Pretty sure the X-Games way back when had skydivers jumping out of airplanes in or on every piece of extreme sporting equipment that was unrelated to skydiving and could fit in the back of a plane.

I think it would be much better if he were riding an ostrich on the way down-skostriching. Or an alligator-skalligatoring. How about in a race car-they could race down to land -they could bill it as Skmashcar.

Skyaking is a great name, but I like the snow board sky diving better, it's way more radical.

That would be awesome provided the horse doesn't have a heart attack on the way down as they're not typically use to jumping from aircraft.

Before seeing the video, I was going to post, "K'nut's", but after viewing it, it is pretty cool. However, I wonder if he has to file a flight plan?
