What are some extreme activities?
Here are some examples of extreme sporting events:
-
BASE jumping -- It is one of most dangerous extreme sports. The BASE stands for building, antennae, span, and earth. It involves jumping off a cliff and gliding down using a parachute. Before BASE jumpers can attempt this stunt they must pass rigorous testing.
-
Climbing -- This is another extreme sport. This involves climbing rocks, trees, cliffs, or other structures. Protective gear is often worn by climbers to prevent falls.
-
Freestyle skiing -- Freestyle ski is often considered the ultimate extreme sport. Freestyle skiing blends snowboarding with ice skateboarding. It involves speed, agility and balance.
-
Paragliding -- Paragliding is similar to parachuting, except that paragliders fly through the air instead of falling to the ground. Paragliders are usually launched from mountainsides. The pilot then controls the plane by using the ropes attached to the wings. The pilot can then pull the rope from his harness to make the plane land. The parachute will open automatically.
-
Surfing -- Surfers use waves of water to travel along a sandy beach. Surfers are usually upright when surfing. They hold onto the board with both their hands. It allows the surfer a way to propel himself forward. When the wave recedes he paddles back to deeper water.
-
Snowboarding -- Snowboarding is another form of extreme sport. Snowboarders use specialized boards that glide down hills. They also use special bindings that secure their feet to their boards. Snowboards usually come equipped with wheels so riders can roll down slopes more easily.
-
Skateboarding -- This is a combination skateboarding and rollerblading. Skaters use unique skateboards to navigate ramps, rails, and other obstacles on city streets. You can also use skateboards in place of rollerblades.
-
Skiing -- Skiing has been around since the beginning of winter sports. Ski originally meant "snowshoe". Skiing is still very popular because it's an excellent way to exercise.
Skiing has evolved to include many more types than it did when it first began.
There are alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, and freestyle skiing.
Alpine skiing is the most difficult. Cross-country skiing is more accessible. Downhill skiing, however, is the easiest. Freestyle skiing can combine all three.
