Heather Wright

Writer

When Heather is not participating in extreme sports you can find her working the events across the country, or writing about these amazing adrenaline rushes. She loves to go skydiving, snowboarding, parasailing, hang gliding, dirt boarding, off-roading and hiking. “It’s the best way to face my fears and continue to grow into the person I choose to be. When fear is out of the way… you can do anything. But I learned you can also do those things with the fear.”

Why Action Sporter?

Whether you are a beginner action sports enthusiast or someone who has been in the game for some time, there are limited resources for your questions and answers. I decided it was time to answer the questions people were asking, but most importantly provide these answers from extreme sports enthusiasts who have experienced such activities first hand.

This is why I created Action Sporter! This is the place to go for your action sports answers.
