Adventure sports

Some people have fun playing cards at a table or shopping, but other people have fun jumping off cliffs, climbing up ice-mountains or smashing into waves. Adventure sports lovers have a chance to see the beauty of nature. Adventure sports are also called ‘extreme sports’. The word adventure gives us lots of ideas about these sports. They all include adrenaline and danger. Many of the adventure sports involve speed, height and physical effort so you need some special equipment to be safe.

Popular sports such as basketball, football and hockey are team sports, but extreme sports are often individual sports, but this does not mean that the participants are alone. Doing an extreme sport is great way to meet new friends. Many skateboarders, snowboarders and rock climbers have their own clubs and groups. They meet up regularly to practice these sports together and learn a lot from each other. Doing an extreme sport is a great way to be healthy. It is great fun as well.
