An adrenaline junkie is determined to try every extreme sport — aged ten.
Mary Jones became obsessed with adventurous activities after paragliding on holiday in Turkey at just four years old.
The little daredevil has since tried skydiving, bungee jumping, caving, climbing and wakeboarding — a water sport where you stand on a board pulled by a cable or motorboat.
Mary was even crowned winner in the under-nines category at the Wakeboard Cable World Championships last year, and took top spot for the under-tens only months ago.
Her dream is now to become a professional wakeboarder — with hopes of representing Team GB.
Dad David, 37, and mum Ladda, 32, of Basingstoke, Hants, say they are “really proud” of risk-taker Mary.
David said: “She became obsessed with extreme sports when she was little.
“Mary’s mum won’t do bungee jumping. But Mary has no fear. We do worry for her but she’s always in very good hands.”
Mary added: “I just really enjoy it. Next I want to try kitesurfing and off-road motorbiking.”
