FAQ
What is extreme sport?
Extreme sports are skydiving.
These thrills are very popular as they offer adrenaline-pumping thrills with no danger.
Participating in these extreme sports often regard as fun challenges rather than dangerous activities.
The most common extreme sport is skiing. Skiing has been around for thousands of years, but it was not until the early 1900s that it became a significant form of winter recreation.
With more than 4,000,000 new skiers each year, skiing is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world.
What is the difference between parachuting and parasailing?
Para-gliding involves flying above the ground using a harness attached to a small sail. The harness lets you fly. It keeps you safe when you're falling through the air.
To fly, you don't require any special equipment. You simply attach yourself to the sail. Then you take off. The wind pulls the sail against you as you climb in altitude. This allows it to lift you.
As you glide along, your momentum keeps you moving forward. Your momentum will propel you forward until the cable ends. The cable ends and you are free to let go of your grip, and then you fall back to Earth.
Once you are ready to go again, attach the sail to your body.
Parasailing is rapidly growing. 2013 saw more than 1,000,000 people partake in parasailing. It was almost double the number that did so in 2008.
What are some extreme sporting activities?
These are just a few examples of extreme sports events.

BASE jumping -- This extreme sport is dangerous. The BASE stands for building, antennae, span, and earth. This involves jumping from a cliff, and then gliding down with a parachute. Before BASE jumpers can attempt this stunt they must pass rigorous testing.

Paragliding -- Paragliding is similar to parachuting, except that paragliders fly through the air instead of falling to the ground. Paragliders often launch from mountainsides. The pilot then controls the plane by using the ropes attached to the wings. He can pull the rope attached to his harness if he wants to land. The parachute will open automatically.
-
Surfing -- Surfers use waves of water to travel along a sandy beach. Surfers stand up while surfing. The board is used as a surfboard. The board allows the surfer propel himself forward. He paddles back into deeper water when the wave recedes.
-
Snowboarding -- Another extreme sport is snowboarding. Snowboarders use special boards to glide down hills. They also use special bindings to secure their feet to the boards. Snowboards come with wheels to make it easier for riders to slide down the slopes.

"Riding Down Hills" - To ride downhill, you must first learn how to stop yourself from falling. To do this, push your legs against the ground while simultaneously pulling your back leg up. Next, kick your front leg forward. Keep doing this until your speed is reached. The faster you travel, the harder you must pull your legs up and kick them forward. Once you've reached the desired speed, you let your legs come together and relax. If you need to slow down, just do the same thing.
Once you are able to stop yourself falling into the ground and you have figured out how to stop it, you can determine how fast your goal speed is. There are many ways to measure speed. Some people prefer counting laps around the mountain. Other people prefer looking at the distance between each turn. To practice speed control, you can either time yourself or count laps. Practice makes perfect!
Once you've mastered speeding up and slowing down, it's now time to learn how to turn. To turn, you must simply lean to the side you desire to move towards. You will fall to the ground if you lean too much. You won't be capable of turning if you lean too much. Once you can turn well enough, you can begin learning tricks.
