Extreme sports. Nowadays when everything is developing rapidly, traditional sports are changing, too. About 15 years ago so called extreme sports became very popular. They are fast, venturesome, dangerous, special, excessive, outstanding. Many people in the world prefer to go in for extreme sports than in for traditional sports. The most popular types (kinds) of extreme sports are: skydiving, skiboarding, bungee jumping, base jumping, street luge, ice-climbing, zorbing. Each of them is unique and fascinating. There isn't a person in the world who heard nothing of extreme sports and who can be indifferent to the athletes doing difficult tricks. I have never been at such competitions. However, when I watch TV and find the program about extreme sport by chance, I'm fascinated by the things that sportsmen are doing. I admire these brave people because I understand, how it’s difficult to do all these things. People must spend a lot of time on training, they also need incredible physical and mental strength. It's the whole world with its trainings, competitions, experiences and injuries. People who have never gone in for extreme sports and won’t learn them in the future can only guess what kind of emotions and feelings these sportsmen experience. Of course, on the one hand, this is a breathtaking sport. But on the other hand, there are essential minuses in extreme sports. They are dangerous and expensive. Doing base jumping can get you into trouble with the police. But people who can say: “Extreme sport is life and life is extreme sport!” usually don’t think about these disadvantages. Danger for these people is an integral part of their desires and price for their feelings and emotions without which they can’t live. I think, they challenge themselves. And they are ready to jump, climb, swim and fly in extreme situations again and again for the sake of their keen sensations and high-adrenaline. Extreme Sports will be developing by all means. New kinds of sport will be invented. People will continue to create the history of sport, strike us with new records sometimes at the cost of their lives.

I like extreme outdoor ice kart racing especially during the winter but only if I have my helmet and pad-set :). Very nice and informative article! I liked it much. Thank you!
