FAQ
Is there an extreme sport in football?
It all depends on who you ask. Over the years, football has been played by millions around the globe. Many argue that it is not a game but an entertainment. Others say that it is as much a sport as any other. And some people believe that football can be considered the ultimate sports.
Truth lies somewhere in-between these extremes.
Football is an extreme sport; however, it is also a game that requires skill, teamwork, strategy, endurance, speed, strength, stamina, power, tactics, sportsmanship, and luck.
What are some examples of extreme sports?
Here are some extreme sporting events.
-
BASE jumping -- This is the most dangerous extreme sport. The BASE stands for building, antennae, span, and earth. This involves jumping from a cliff, and then gliding down with a parachute. Before they can attempt this stunt, BASE jumpers must pass stringent tests.
-
Climbing -- Another extreme sport is climbing. It involves climbing rocks faces, trees and cliffs. To prevent falling, climbers will often use protective gear.
-
Freestyle skiing -- Freestyle skiing is considered by many to be the ultimate extreme sport. Freestyle skiing mixes snowboarding and ice-skating. Freestyle skiing requires speed, agility and balance.
-
Paragliding -- Paragliding looks similar to parachuting but paragliders glide through the air rather than falling to the earth. Paragliders often launch from mountainsides. The paragliders then pilot the plane using the ropes tied to its wings. The pilot will pull the rope that is attached to his harness to help him land. The parachute opens automatically.
-
Surfing -- Surfers ride waves to reach the ocean floor. Surfers generally stand upright while surfing. They hold onto their boards with both hands.The board acts as a surfboard. 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 special boards to glide down hills. To secure their feet to the boards, they also use special bindings. Snowboards typically come with wheels so riders can glide down slopes easier.
-
Skateboarding -- This is a combination skateboarding and rollerblading. Skaters use special skateboards to navigate city streets, including rails and ramps. In place of rollerblades, skateboards are utilized.
-

Alpine skiing is the most difficult. Cross-country skiing makes it easier. Downhill skiing is the easiest. Freestyle skiing mixes all three.

How To
How do I get started with Base Jumping?
Base jumping, also known as free-fall parachute, is a sport that involves participants leaping from fixed objects (usually cliffs), like bridges, towers or buildings without any equipment. To safely land, the participant jumps from the object. This is similar to skydiving except that you don't need to use a parachute and you don't have to wait for it to open.
A wingsuit jumper is the most popular type of base jumper. A wingsuit is two pieces of fabric joined together. One piece covers your chest and arms while the other covers your legs. The boots are specially designed to allow the jumper stand upright during flight. The jumper pulls the ankle straps tighter during descent. This causes the fabric covering his/her legs to bunch up under his/her body, creating an air pocket. The jumper can open his/her parachute if the air pocket is large enough and land safely.
Base jumpers often use powered suits to get through the air quicker. A backpack containing batteries and an under-cloth jet pack are the two main components of powered suits. These small rockets shoot hot gas jets at high speeds from these packs. This creates thrust and propels the jumper ahead. These suits can be noisy and heavy.
BASE jumping is not for everyone. Make sure you fully understand the risks associated with learning BASE jumping. There are several ways you could die doing this activity: falling off a cliff, hitting an obstacle head-on or upside down, or colliding with another jumper. BASE jumping, while not always dangerous is dangerous. However, it can be very dangerous if done improperly. Before you attempt to BASE jump, make sure you follow these safety tips.
Start by practicing safe BASE jumping techniques at a lower hill. Before jumping from a bigger hill, you should take a few moments to become familiar with the terrain. Pay attention to weather conditions. Make sure the wind doesn't blow in your face when you jump. Foggy skies can also be a problem. If you are unable to see 10ft ahead, it might be best to wait until the clouds clear. Make sure you have all the necessary gear. You should have a helmet, goggles and gloves as well as a complete suit including a harness. Fourth, ensure you have a plan. In case something goes wrong, you should ask another person to come along with you. Never jump by yourself. Always have someone to watch over you.
