Paragliding is an extreme sport!!!I love it because paragliders can fly to heights 15.000 feets(4,572)meters!!!!Very cool!!!Also when paragliders fly make lazy circles in the sky and deploy the parachutes as they get closer to the ground!!!
ReplyDeleteBASE jump is an extreme and i think dangerous sport!I wouldn't like to do it because the BASE jumpers fall from the top of a mountain.Ouuuuu!Very high!!!!!!!I think i like to see the others doing it.
ReplyDeleteI did not like much the extreme sports.The only extreme sport that i like is the base jump.At the base jump you are jumping from rocks at the mountain and you are not having motorized and when you are close to the earth you depliy the parachute.For me is not so dengerous and to my opinion is very intersting and cool.I did not want to see the others to do base jumping and i did not doing
ReplyDeleteAlso they use parachute when they fall from the mountains
ReplyDeleteLuge is an extreme sport and it is the most dangerous in the Olympic games.But it is my favourite extreme sport because the athletes(with steel,air bags and until-lock bracks race down an icy,high-banked track are a special breed.the purpose of the olympic luge is who finish first he is the winner!
