FAQ
What is the origin of extreme sports?
Parachuting was one of the earliest extreme sports. Parachuting was created during World War II. The 1942 parachute jump was the first.
Parachutists were able to jump from both gliders or airplanes. They flew fast down to the earth. They then opened the parachutes.
Parachute jumps could be deadly. These parachutists also died. Paragliding gained popularity after the war.
1948 saw the first paraglider flight near Lake Garda in Italy. Paragliding is a growing sport. Every year, paragliding attracts thousands of people.
Parachuting is one of the key differences between paragliding and parachuting. Para-gliders instead of landing on the ground, land on water.
Is football an extreme game?
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. Some say it is just as popular as any other sport. Others think that football is the ultimate sport.
Truth lies somewhere between these extremes.
Football is an extreme sport. But it's also a game that requires teamwork, strategy as well as skill and ability to manage speed, strength, stamina and power.
How is parasailing different from parachuting?
Para-gliding is a form of flying above ground using a harness and a small sail. You can fly with the harness. It protects you from falling through the air.
Flying doesn't require any equipment. You simply attach yourself to the sail. Then you go off. As you ascend, the wind pushes against your sail. This makes it lift you.
As you glide along the ground, you keep moving forward. Your momentum carries you forward until you reach the end of the cable. The cable ends and you are free to let go of your grip, and then you fall back to Earth.
If you're ready, reattach your sail.
Parasailing is a rapidly growing sport. In 2013, parasailing was enjoyed by more than 1 million people. This is nearly double the amount who did it in 2008.
What is the appeal of extreme sport?

Let's get started with some definitions.
"Snowboard" - A board attached to your feet used for riding down hills while skiing. It typically has two edges (front and back), which form the board's shape. To control speed, the edge at the front is longer than that at the back.

"Skiing" - Riding down hills on skis. This can be done on natural terrains such mountains or man-made, like ski resorts. Skiing requires special equipment, including skis, poles, bindings, boots, jackets, gloves, hats, goggles, sunglasses, socks, and wax.
"Riding down Hills" - You must learn how you can stop yourself falling before you can ride downhill. Use your legs to push the ground with your back leg, while pulling your front leg forward and your front leg up. Keep going until you reach your desired speed. You need to keep moving faster so you have to push your legs up and kick forward. Once you reach the speed you desire, relax your legs and let them come together. The process can be repeated if you wish to slow down.
Once you have learned how you can stop yourself from hitting the ground, you need to find out how fast. There are several ways to measure speed. Some people prefer counting laps around the mountain. Other people prefer looking at the distance between each turn. To practice speed control, you can either time yourself or count laps. Practice makes perfect!
Once you are comfortable with slowing down or speeding up, it is time to learn how turn. To turn, you simply lean your body to the side you wish to move towards. If you lean too far, you'll crash into the ground. Lean too little, and you won't be able to turn. Once you know how to turn, you can start learning tricks. Tricks are fancy moves on the slopes that require precision timing and balance. They include cartwheels, spins or flips.
There are many types. For example, some tricks involve jumping over obstacles, tricks that involve flipping over obstacles, and tricks that involve spinning over obstacles. Each trick has its own requirements. For instance, if you're trying to jump over something, you might have to spin 180 degrees in midair before landing on the other side.
There are many different types of tricks. There are many types of tricks. Some require precision and accuracy. Others require strength.
