Extreme ground sports #2 extreme mountain cycling

hello everyone!

Extreme cycling is a very dangerous sport because only those who can ride a bike very well can do it. For sport we need a special mountain bike, preferably equipped with the best shock absorbents, because they primarily affect the comfort of driving. 

Another important thing is a motocross-like helmet, if an accident happens, it can save our lives. it's best to have a good set of protectors. Like most sports. Extreme Cycling also has several different varieties:

- descent - depends on an independent descent from a steep mountain on narrow, stone paths. The competition consists in overcoming the designated section of the route as soon as possible.

-Attendance - depending on the organizer and the ingenuity of free-ride players depends on something else, for example, time is sometimes measured or who reaches the finish line first, but most often the number of falls and tricks is counted during the exit.

Extreme water sports #4 rafting

hello everyone

rafting - this is a variety of river water, which was cultivated on rafts, boats, etc. Once a river boat was called transport of goods by sea (river). Now, rafting is done in a pontoon, usually ten people, each of them is equipped with a paddle, a solid helmet and a life jacket in the case of aerating a pontoon. Rafting is usually grown on running rivers with waterfalls from which daredevils try to escape. They know better that there is such an thing as the international difficulty of the river. This scale is presented on numbers from 1 to 6.

- Class 1 - the easiest way to cross the river from the mists. Even an amateur can swim without a problem. There is almost no such phenomenon as a fast river on such a river.

- Class 2 - we will have to deal with light sea currents and rocks along such a river.

-classes 3-small waves of low nobility. Ability to perform maneuvers.

Classes 4-sharp maneuvers, medium waves, slight drops and stones

Class 5 - high threat, big waves and rocks, sudden drops

- Class 6 - With this class we can expect a real hell: huge waves and rocks, high danger. By defeating such a river, we can hurt many times and even die.

Paragliding

Hello everyone

Paragliding originates from the so-called Gliding parachutes, but it can not be confused with parachuting, because in it the parachute is used to reduce the rate of decline in the atmosphere, and the para-glider is used for glide in the air. It is a recreational form of sport often confused with aviation.

Paragliding can be practiced by a man who has no experience with the help of an instructor. There are several forms of flying on a paraglider. The simplest is jamboree. As the name suggests, it consists of the order from the highest hill and further gliding on the paraglider.

This form is usually used in the initial phase of learning, and the flight depends on the quality of the equipment. Another most popular and the most interesting of all form is:

Sailing flights that depend on the speed and direction of the wind. The best wind for sailing is moderate wind because too weak wind makes it impossible to lose the fixed altitude and too strong threatens to tilt the para-glider to the outside.

Extreme winter sports #3 Snowmobile

Hello everyone

Snowmobile is a vehicle adapted to different surfaces covered with snow and it is a combination of sleighs and scooters.

The scooter is suitable for driving on roads, but also on off-roads. He drives very well on snow-covered surfaces. It is adapted for ice riding, but the person driving the scooter is forced to reduce speed.

The most important elements included in the scooter are, of course, the engine with a power not exceeding 1000 cm³, usually two gypsum, from which the drive is carried and two skids that help maintain the balance of the scooter. The first scooter was created by the French motoring pioneers Marquis Jules-Albert de Dion and engineer Georges Bouton.

Their concept was based on the construction of the Norwegian sleds. There are several types of snowmobiles. One of them is freestyle designed for extreme riding and performing tricks. Another type is a tourist intended for quiet driving in the terrain, and the third one is 8 cylinders intended for racing.

Extreme winter sports #2 Snow-kiting

Hello everyone

Snow-kiting is a winter kite-surfing discipline, this sport involves riding on a special parachute board. For kite-surfing we need favorable winds and snow or ice surfaces.

Snow-kiting is easier to learn than kite-surfing. Because of the hard surface before driving, buy a set of pads and a helmet, and check for durability before entering the ice.

For snowboarding we can use a board or skis, in the case of kite-surfing, we can choose only a board, however, the professionals of snowboarding more often choose a board. Another necessary piece of equipment is a kite divided into an open chamber and a closed chamber:

flying with open chambers - they are kites not adapted to the angle with water because then they lose their properties.

flying with closed chambers - they do not have their own shape. The structure of the kite is similar to the construction of wings, but in the case of this kite the air is kept in its center, and the lock is used to release it.

Extreme ground sports #1 Mountain-boarding

Hello everyone

For mountain-boarding we will need a special board adapted for driving around the terrain. The board consists of four medium-sized tires and straps that we can attach to your feet. 

This sport is a summer type of snowboarding and a good option for beginner surfers. This board does not need the right weather conditions for driving, such as snow or water, it can ride on grasses, stones and other area that for a normal board can only be a dream. 

The beginning of this sport is considered to be the seventies, when two skateboarders decided to attach larger wheels to their boards.

 There is a special skateboard on which you can feel like real snowboarding. The board allows the user to ride sideways thanks to his special wheels. With the help of the balance of the body skateboarder is able to control the attitude of the board.

Bungee jumping

Hello everyone

Today I will to introduce you Bungee jumping.They were formed on the island of Pen-tacos, the inhabitants of this island were jumping with a rope tied to the cubes of bamboo buildings to prove their masculinity.

Bungee jumping consists of jumping from a height on a flexible rope made of rubber fibers, usually attached to the ankles with special handles.

The current record was established by the Moscow SINNER group.The jump was made of a rope with a length of 230m, which they attached directly to the body. 

The highest object for bungee jumping is in China in the Macau Tower, which is 233m high.

For a bit less daring I suggest one of the bungee jumping types, so bungee-run, which consists in the strongest stretching of the elastic rope.

Everything takes place in an inflatable corridor and a protective helmet, which ensures safe ending of the game.

You can jump on a bungee in  several people.There are 3 types of rope length. Its length depends on the weight of the man. the thin keeps from 40 to 65 kg, average from 65 to 90 kg, and fat from 90 to 120 kg.

Slack-Line

Hello Everyone

Today I will tell you about the slack-line.This sports discipline consists in walking and working various acrobatic tricks on lines between 2.5 cm and 5 cm wide between two points at a height of 1 m and above the ground. 

Slack-line was born in California. It all started with walking on chains surrounding parking lots and climbing ropes, then everything started to develop and more specialized ropes started to appear, as a result of which the rope was change for a flexible tape.

Slack-line divided into three different variant :

-Trick-line-is one of the most popular varieties because it does not require specialized equipment. The rope can be hung quite low and the tricks made for it look impressive and spectacular.

-Long-line -It is a transition on a loose tape suspended 1m above the ground. The longer the tape is, the harder go through it. The current Polish record established  by Rafał Kubiak is 410m.
