As we all know stunting is a form of niche gaming type where a game is played in a different manner it was intended to.
The greatness of gta-stunting is that we were given a completely free world with pretty much the perfect amount of realism in the physics engine. In the way it was designed we were quite lucky that some of the real world's limitations was surpressed/ridden of, allowing for things like bumping and grinding etc.
Do you know of any other games that are played/used in a different way it was intended to in the same magnitude gtas has been? Both stunting/ non-stunting.
There has been a few attemps that I'm aware of when it comes to non-gta stunting.
One of the ones I think people don't know of is in the half-life (1) mod "the specialist" which can be described as "matrix/max payne-online".
Some guys did some stunting in that mod with good result: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DfoVKXQ1I8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DfoVKXQ1I8)
thought it was never as big as gtas.
Another one is "speed-running" though that is a more general concept that apllies for all games.
Feel free to share any similar way of gaming you know of on whatever game and platform since this type of sport generally takes a bit more creativity and it can be more interesting to play/watch.

Surfing in Counter Strike, Quake 3 Defrag (essentially Parkour) and I suppose to an extent you could consider sniping in Call of Duty to be quite niche since I doubt the developers expected the sniping to turn out like it did.

by speedrun do you mean defrag?

I think he meant people who complete games quickly ie events like Awesome Games Done Quickly. AGDQ 2015 raised over $1.5 million for the Prevent Cancer Foundation.

There's very few people stunting in the Battlefield series.
This one contains bikes only:

Boats, jets & quads are also common vehicles. Just search on Google/YouTube and you'll discover more.
My temporary Internet connection is too crap, otherwise I'd link some more.

Counter-Strike, Half-Life 1/2, TF2, POSTAL 2, Watch Dogs, Sleeping Dogs, Crysis, Far Cry, Midtown Madness and more. I will edit my post later, just don't remember some games...

Great replies guys, will check those out. Especially the more famous games seems interesting.
Btw, surfing in CS was indeed quite fucking big but I never got the hang of it :P

Halo Trick-jumping is pretty cool
