Your guests will have some extreme fun, when they arrive at this cool birthday party focused around skateboards, BMX bikes and motocross.
When Wendy Simonson's son told her he wanted a birthday party with extreme sports as a theme, she was hesitant. Including skate boards
and BMX bikes at a birthday party seemed too dangerous. We helped
her plan ex-treme sports and skateboard party games and activities, keeping safety in mind.
"The kids loved the relay race so much, they asked to play it
second time...when friends come to play they still ask if they
can have a relay race!"

Silly Board Sport Relay
A wacky extreme relay race!
Before the party collect items that represent different extreme sports.
For example: surfer shorts, bike helmets, knee pads, bike
gloves etc.
Collect enough for each team.
At the party, divide your guests into two teams. Give each team the same set of props, so the level of difficulty will be equal.
Mark a starting line. Place a chair for each team a short distance away from the starting line.
To begin the game, the first person on each team must put on the surfer shorts, hat and scarf (or whatever items you choose) and travel to the chair
using the skateboard. Here is the safe part...they player must lay,
kneel or sit on the skateboard. After reaching the chair, the player runs back to the team (carrying the board) and passes the props to the next player. The game continues until everyone has had a turn. The first team
to finish, wins!
