Amy Cobb Women in Extreme Sport

A South Beach siren who recently went against all moral decency and scandalously posed in her birthday suit for Playboy, professional surfer Amy looks as much fun to ride as the very waves themselves. Plus she’s tall – like model tall – 5’11 to be precise, which is all well and good; but we’d rather see her cold and wet than pouting down a catwalk.

Gretchen Bleiler Women in Extreme Sport

Four times X Games gold medal winner Gretchen Bleiler is simultaneously extreme, talented and ball-achingly hot. The halfpipe snowboarder has been entertaining crowds at winter events for the best part of a decade, and apparently cannot get a good enough fix of adrenaline through snowboarding alone; in her spare time she surfs and mountain bikes. She somewhat predictably lives in Aspen and is unfortunately very happily married. However, luckily for us that didn’t stop her from posing in FHM wearing deeply inadequate winter clothing.

Megan Abubo Women in Extreme Sport

What is it with hot surfing babes being big on the breast cancer thing? Hawaiian stunner Megan Abubo is a keen advocate of awareness charities, and despite our sarcastic nihilism, we have to admit that’s a pretty damn good thing to do. Clearly she has a heart that matches the sheer golden beauty of her exterior. Megan has been a highly regarded female surfer since the late ’90s and even keeps fans regularly updated with a lengthy blog. Be warned, however: if you aren’t into surfing or girl stuff, it reads like the financial section of a Wall Street newspaper. A smarter plan is to relentlessly Google her name and drool over the fine images of her riding the waves in obligatory swim suit.

Maeghan Major Women in Extreme Sport

Striking blond Maeghan Major may not know how to spell her name, but that doesn’t seem to have gotten in the way of her success. An X Games winner in wakeboarding, the Missouri girl certainly doesn’t lack drive or passion for her adrenaline-inducing hobby, spending much of her life out on the lake being dragged around by a baseball-cap toting meathead in a boat. Had she not been a scantily clad beauty with bullet nipples, Maeghan claims she would have loved to have been a lawyer – and to be honest, the more courtroom officials that look like her the better.

Serena Brooke Women in Extreme Sport

Serena Brooke is another Australian with an altruistic side. Along with raising awareness of issues such as breast cancer, she happily cavorts around the photographer’s studio finding out how much less she can wear on camera than she can in the sea. Plus, she tackles waves as one of the biggest – and hottest – award-winning female surfers in the southern hemisphere. What’s more the Aussie beauty is clearly tough and a glutton for punishment, having undergone 25 stitches under her chin alone, numerous smashed teeth, a broken big toe and a broken hand. However, proving that in life nothing is perfect, she’s sadly a hippie.

Danica Patrick Women in Extreme Sport

Is NASCAR an extreme sport? It is achingly lame to watch, but we certainly couldn’t handle partaking in it. Either way, in car terms Danica Patrick has everything: textbook chassis, fine curves and a bangin’ system. What’s more, irrespective of her fine body, this babe is hardcore – she survived a 12-car pile up and also had to be reprimanded by security during a race to prevent her beating up a rival male driver – and is even tipped for Formula 1. More women like this in racing, please God.

Alana Blanchard Women in Extreme Sport

What else need be said about the audaciously sexual Alana Blanchard? She was voted hottest surfer in the world by a handful of surfing magazines and – as if life weren’t unfair enough as it is – she treats nerdy photographers to hours of one on one bikini time in support of various surf related companies such as Rip Curl sportswear. If there is a God, he did a damn good job with Alana – but couldn’t he gift us with a leaked sex tape?

Tara Dakides Women in Extreme Sport

Tara Dakides is an extreme sports girl who’s done it all. The pro snowboarder has dabbled in the Gumball rally, motocross, surfing, gymnastics and even skateboarding – a sport which inexplicably seems to churn out only the butt-ugliest of ladies. As well as being co-owner of her own snowboarding company, the bright star has gone head to head against Tony Hawk and won numerous gold and silver medals. And she is smokin’ hot.

Lana Papke Women in Extreme Sport

Another surfing beauty, this time native to Hawaii, wise sage Lana Papke is always keen to enlighten us with reflective pearls of her eternal wisdom. “Every girl has stories about getting hit by a wave and losing her bikini,” she claims. ”My trick is to always wear a thong that can’t fall off.” Profound. Probably best she sticks to looking nice and playing in the sea

Elysia Ulrich Women in Extreme Sport

Unlike most professional sports personalities, Elysia Ulrich is not only astoundingly tough; she’s smart as well. The dirt bike extraordinaire is about to embark on a degree in international business, and still rides at breakneck speeds whenever possible despite having suffered a broken back. Suffice to say, she must be made of stronger stuff than half of us, and hotter stuff too: her picture perfect bikini clad body is cropping up more and more on the internet as her fame grows.

Niki Gudex Women in Extreme Sport

Putting paid to the myth that all Australian women are hairy-assed blond alcoholics with man hands is the delightful Niki Gudex. Born in England before swiftly emigrating with her family in the ’70s, downhill mountain bike expert Niki possesses what might best be described as a charitable love of exposing her fine lady shapes for a braying male audience, frequently posing in her undies for the purposes of revealing her extreme sport endeavors to the world. Or something like that. Whatever the reason, I think we should all take a minute to thank the sweet Lord that Aussie weather is stiflingly hot – and so is she.

Lottie Aston Women in Extreme Sport

BASE jumping has to be one of the most foolhardy sports on the face of earth. It’s just riskier parachuting for impatient folk with a penchant for staring death – and the rapidly approaching pavement – in the face. So it goes without saying that if you add a smokin’ broad to the affair, you’re going to create one of those situations where sheer morbidity mysteriously becomes fascinatingly hot. Lottie Aston is one of these broads. Blonde, cute and the ex-partner of a BASE jumping legend who died on a leap, she has every credential.
