With summer upon us and holidays on the horizon here are some amazing ideas that will ensure you have a fun-filled break wherever you go.

Captured in a compilation video are a number of activities being performed and enjoyed by people seizing the moment – regardless of how nerve-racking they appear to be.

Featured is a man performing tricks on a surfboard while another man skateboards down a road – with his hands – in what appears to be New Mexico.

Is your summer as awesome as this?

Another thrill-seeker flips from a bridge and lands in the water below while a man records himself and his friends riding in a helicopter, while he hangs from the side of it.

In addition to the jumps and dives into water, footage of people showcasing their genuinely impressive skills in a range of water sports is also captured.

One man flips in the air while hoverboarding above water, another skis from a ramp after drawing a large crowd and a group of men slam-dunk a basketball after performing a choreographed routine.
