Extreme Sports

Engineers have made the extreme sports more popular and this is a great example of how this industry has created a global trend over the world. International events like the extreme sports in the Olympics provide a platform for people to come together and support their country from different nations. We could see extreme sports participants come from overseas representing their countries and getting supported by their families. Also, athletes could be role models where people look up to them. If you ask young children who their role models are, mostly they would name athletes whom they have been following. Eventually, the next generation will be more interested into these risky sports due to the influence inspired by other participants, and the new higher technologies developed by

The history of wakeboarding has been a mystery for many years, nobody knows exactly how, when, and where the sport originated to become the amazing sport that it is today and might I mention that it is now one of the world’s fastest growing sports. Some state that it was created by combining two of the most intense and competitive water sports known to man which are surfing and skiing. During the late 1960’s water skiing was known to be the summer sport that anyone could try, it was those hot summer days when people where out on the lake having the time of their life, also known as having a “heyday”. Over the years riders have showed and proven that there are no limits to the sport by creating new tricks that where known to be some of the most unbelievable and wildest tricks ever seen in any water sport.

We have all been underwater at some point in life whether it was in a pool, lake, or in the ocean, but that was probably for a short amount of time. With Scuba Diving, you get the opportunity to be underwater for more than 10 minutes at a time without having to worry about things on the surface. With Scuba Diving already having been banned temporarily a while ago in Crater Lake because of concern about the environmental impacts of invasive species to the marine ecosystems, some people think that Scuba Diving could become banned in more places, if nothing is done to combat the problem. Today, I will discuss Scuba Diving and its effect on the environment along with how to make it safer for the environment. During this past year, I learned to scuba dive and was certified for Scuba Diving at Neptune Dive and Ski. Today, I will discuss the effect of Scuba Diving on the environment through my research, product, and learning stretch. The first task that I was faced with was gathering information about Scuba Diving and researching the problem and the multiple ways to resolve the problem that it has on the environment. I researched the problem and ways to resolve the problem that Scuba Diving has on the environment, with my thesis focusing on how Scuba Diving although damaging to marine life and plants, could with the proper training be one of the best helpers of the present and for the future of the ocean life. Scuba Divers go into some of the nicest bodies of water in the world with the intent to observe and interact with the environment that is beneath the water. However, some Scuba Divers lack the proper training and knowledge necessary to dive in the water safely and carefully. Scuba Diving is meant for recreational use and for educat...

Researchers have interacted with a lot of extreme sports enthusiasts and have come to a conclusion that they can play a major part. The main reason identified here is that people generally tend to indulge in these kinds of activities as they want to challenge nature. A Mount Everest climb, or a bungee-jump from the highest point is the individual’s way of standing up to nature. Also, the exposure that these types of sports get is enormous and some events are characterized by huge media

Have you ever tried to wrestle? It is a very hard sport and should not be thought of as a easy roll around with another person sport. There are many things you must do to prepare yourself. In the following essay they will be brought up.

Since 1896, the year the Olympics were resurrected from ancient history, the Olympics have been a symbol of the camaraderie and harmony possible on a global scale. The gathering of athletic representatives, the pride of the pack, from participating governments, even throughout the recent Cold War period, is proof that world unity is possible; just as it was in Ancient Greece with the polis or city-states. Olympic Games were held throughout Ancient Greece, but the most famous are the games that were held in Olympia in honor of Zeus every four years from August 6th to September 19th. The first record of these games is of one Coroebus of Elis, a cook, winning a sprint race in 776 BC. Most historians believe the games to have been going on for approximately 500 years before this.

Throughout sports history in America, minorities have had a sever disadvantage to succeeding. While the country has come a long way in integrating capable athletes in professional sports, there are several sports that have a white dominance. One rarely sees a minority on the swimming team. Caucasians dominate the golf and hockey leagues as well. One of the most prominent sports that is working on overcoming their racial barrier is gymnastics. Gymnastics is a white dominant sport, not only in America but around Europe as well. Ever since Dianne Durham was first African American to start competing on an elite level in the 1980s, there have only been a handful of black gymnasts recognised on the national level. It took until 1996 for a black gymnast to win a gold medal at the Olympics. Dominique Dawes competed in Atlanta and made history for being the first black person of any nationality to win a gold medal in gymnastics. While gymnastics has made progress including African Americans, they still have prejudices to overcome.

The Olympic games is a series of events that takes place every two and four years that originated in Greece to honor the Greek gods (Cartledge 1). The Olympics is an inspirational contest where many nations of the world come together and compete. This pertains to the athletic competitors who have trained for years to enter the Olympics. This includes swimmers, boxers, hockey players, runners, cyclists, ice-skating, figure skating, and many other sports (Cartledge 2). The Olympics have changed since ancient times because of technology, innovations, and a broader audience.

suspense of skydiving as you are hoisted 153 feet in the air then pull a ripcord that plunges you into a 50-feet free fall at 60 m.p.h. The atmosphere of Carowinds is very live

I am adventurous. No I don't sky dive, wrestle crocodiles, or swim with sharks, but when asked by a group of friends to go cliff diving last summer, my best response was, “Sounds like fun!” I had never been afraid of heights yet have never experienced the thrill of cliff diving. All I could ask myself was, “What could go wrong?”
