What kinds of sport are they?
• A. The sport is enjoyed by people of
all ages and both sexes. Everybody
who enjoys the water and can swim
and have no health problems, can
learn to do it. Your need is the desire,
plus basic studying and in-water
training. You need an apparatus which
helps you breathe under the water.
• B. This kind of sport is for people who
like extra risk on the rivers. They use
unsinkable boats for their trips down
the rivers. The sport has become the
modern day centerpiece for outdoor
enthusiasts.
• C. It is a land alternative to surfing. It
was developed in California in the
1960th and became a craze in the
1970s. The sport is practiced on a
board mounted on wheels. Since
1980s it has become an extreme sport
rather than a hobby, because they
practice ramp and rail.
• D. It is jumping from a great height
while attached to a long piece of
elastic that it is short enough to
prevent the jumper from hitting the
ground.
• E. People climb glaciers with ice axe
and a great deal of other equipment.
They must have physical and mental
strength and the ability to work
closely with other team members in
the most dangerous situations.
• F. It is jumping with a parachute out of
an airplane for recreation or in
competitions. Competitive events
include jumping for style, landing with
accuracy, and making free-fall
formations.
• G. It is the latest adventure experience
from New Zealand. It involves rolling
about in a ball, three meters in
diameter. People hurtle downhill at
speed of 50 kms per hour. The sport
requires no more skill than a hamster
running in its wheel as centrifugal
force keeps the man pinned inside.
