Extreme sports

Many people today go in for extreme sports. Perhaps, they find ordinary sports too boring and unexciting. It is also known that extreme sports help to build character and form a strong personality

There are different types of extreme sports, for example,

CAVE DIVING - diving under the water in caves that are very dangerous. Swimmers are sometimes forced to swim through narrow passages in total darkness, they do not always go up. With such dives there is a great risk of getting lost.

Basejumping

is the most popular and dangerous sport. It represents jumping from high buildings, bridges, towers. In order not to break, jumpers use parachutes. A person must have courage, dexterity, and be able to accurately calculate when to open a parachute. Such jumps do not rarely lead to injury or death.

Rafting

- rafting on turbulent rivers in the mountains, where there are a lot of obstacles in the form of waterfalls, turbulent rapids and huge stones. This hobby is no less dangerous, because mountain rivers are very severe.

Rodeo

- dangerous and spectacular entertainment. The competitor needs to jump on the infuriated bull and hold onto it for 10 seconds. But victory does not always come easily, and often such jumps end in fatal injuries.

For these type sports, you need lots of training, fast reaction and great health. Doing these sports teaches us to overcome difficulties and also how to survive in an emergency. People learn not to lose control, develop patience and get rid of their fears. When we risk, we learn how to use our head at first, and act only after thinking.

As for me, I believe these sports are dangerous and risky. But this doesn`t mean I never wanted to do any of these activities. I don`t want to jump with a parachute,
but I always dreamt of scuba diving. Someday I will go to another country, take some classes and achieve my dream.
