FAQ
Do extreme sports need expensive equipment
Yes. Extreme sports equipment can cost thousands of dollars. These activities are affordable for those who don't have the means to pay a lot.
What is the origin of extreme sports?
Parachuting was one of the earliest extreme sports. Parachuting was invented during World War II. 1942 was the year that saw the first parachuting jump.
Parachutists would jump from airplanes or gliders. They flew very fast to the ground. They opened their parachutes.
Parachute jumps could be deadly. Many parachutists died during these events. Paragliding gained popularity after the war.
In 1948, the first paraglider flight took place near Lake Garda, Italy. Paragliding's popularity has only grown over the years. Today, thousands of people participate in paragliding each year.
Para-gliding differs from parachuting in one crucial way. Para-gliders do not land on the ground. They land on water.
How does the sport of parasailing differ from parachuting?
Para-gliding is a form of flying above ground using a harness and a small sail. This harness allows you fly. It will keep you safe when you are falling through the sky.
Flying requires no special equipment. Simply attach yourself to your sail. You then take off. As you rise in altitude, the wind pulls against the sail. This helps to lift your spirits.
You glide along the ground and keep moving forward. Your momentum propels you forward until you reach its end. You release your grip at that point and return to the earth.
If you're ready, reattach your sail.
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.
Who takes part in the extreme?
People of all ages and abilities participate in extreme sports. Extreme sports appeal to children just as much as it does to adults.
Younger children can play games such as tag, dodgeball, and capture of the flag. You can also join a team and compete against other kids.
Adults can either participate in team sports or individual sports. There are plenty of ways to find a team to play on.
It's likely that you'll need to ask someone who has done it before to help you get started.

How To
How can I get started in Base Jumping
Base jumping (also called free-fall Parachuting) allows participants to jump from fixed objects (usually cliffs), including bridges, towers and buildings, with no equipment attached. The participant uses their parachute safely to land from the object. It is similar in nature to skydiving. You don't need a parachute and you don’t need to hold your breath until it opens.
A wingsuit is the most common type base jumper. A wingsuit is two pieces of fabric joined together. The chest, arms and legs are covered by one piece and the legs by the other. The jumper wears special boots that allow him/her to stand upright during flight. Jumpers pull the straps that attach to their feet tightly during descent. The material covering the legs will bunch up and create a large pocket under the body. The jumper can open his/her parachute if the air pocket is large enough and land safely.
Base jumpers can use powered suits in order to accelerate their speed through the air. The two main components to powered suits are a backpack filled with batteries and a undercloth that houses a jetpack. These packs have small rockets that can shoot hot gases at high speeds. This creates thrust, which propels the jumper forward. These suits can be noisy and heavy.
Some people who want to try out BASE jumping don't know what they're getting into. It is important to understand the risks involved in BASE jumping before you attempt to learn. 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 may not be always dangerous but it can still prove dangerous if done incorrectly. These safety tips will help you avoid injury when BASE jumping.
Start by practicing safe BASE jumping techniques at a lower hill. Always take time to familiarize yourself with the terrain before jumping onto a larger hill. Also, be aware of weather conditions. If the wind isn’t blowing, don’t 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. You should also ensure you have the correct gear. Make sure you have a helmet, goggles, gloves, and a full suit with a harness. Fourth, have a plan. If something goes wrong, ask someone to help you. Never, ever jump alone. Always have someone to watch over you.
