Which 2 extreme sports I would like to try in the future and whyMikaella
Extreme sports•Also called action or adventure sports.•These activities usually have a high level
of danger and risk.•They boost your adrenaline.•They often involve speed, height, a high
level of physical exertion, and highly specialized gear.
ListSKY • Bungee Jumping• BASE Jumping
• Skydiving• Indoor Skydiving• Hot Air Ballooning• Paragliding
CLIMB• Mountaineering• Rock Climbing• Ice Climbing• Mixed Climbing• Free Climbing• Bouldering
Which two extreme sports I would like to try•Sky surfing
Sky surfing•A type of skydiving•The diver wears a board attached to his feet
and preforms surfing style aerobatics during the free fall.
•The boards used are smaller than actual surfboard.
•The attachment to the feet is normally made removable, so that if the skydiver loses control or has difficulty opening their parachute, the board can be jettisoned.
•It requires practice.•The jumper must learn to control the
board and their body position so as to open the parachute in time.
•More advanced aerobatics such as loops, rolls and helicopter spins, are more difficult still and are tackled once the basics have been mastered
Ice climbing•Usually, ice climbing refers to roped and
protected climbing of features such as icefalls, frozen waterfalls, and cliffs.
•Mixed climbing involves both ice climbing and rock climbing.
•You pick your equipment according to the slope and texture of the ice.
Why I picked these•I like heights•You can do sky surfing with friends•I like the feeling of flying•I think it is nice climbing
Dangers•The parachute might be broken and wont
open•There might be a problem with the ropes•You might be afraid and wont be able to
leave•While ice climbing a wild animal might
attack you
Thank you for your attention!
