snowboarding


how to be a pro snowboarder

1.- Get the right equipment. Go to a snowboard shop and ask the staff to help you select the right board, jacket and gloves.

2.-Learn to snowboard. Take lessons at a snowboarding school. Most ski and snowboarding resorts offer lessons. Master all the basics such as steering, stopping and basic jumps before moving on to more complicated tricks. Getting professional lessons will help you learn the correct techniques faster and prevent you from developing bad habits

3.- Practice as much as you can. Get a season pass at a resort. Keep working on all the moves and tricks you know. Work on developing a unique style to your moves.

skydiving


this is another extreme sport it called parachuting or skydivingA typical jump involves individuals jumping out of an aircraft (usually an airplane, but sometimes a helicopter or even the gondola of a balloon), at approximately 4,000 meters (around 13,000 feet) altitude, and free-falling for a period of time (about a minute)[1] before activating a parachute to slow the landing down to safe speeds (about 5 to 7 minutes).

When the parachute opens (usually the parachute will be fully inflated by 2,500 feet) the jumper can control the direction and speed with toggles on the end of steering lines attached to the trailing edge of the parachute, and can aim for the landing site and come to a relatively gentle stop. All modern sport parachutes are self-inflating "ram-air" wings that provide control of speed and direction similar to the related paragliders. Purists in either sport would note that paragliders have much greater lift and range, but that parachutes are designed to absorb the stresses of deployment at terminal velocity.

By manipulating the shape of the body a skydiver can generate turns, forward motion, backwards motion, and even lift.

rock climbing




Climbing is all about balance, knowing your body and being able to reposition it in space. It's about creativity, learning to adapt to what the rock has to offer. It's a whole-body exercise and though your upper body gets a fair share of grunt work, your legs and feet are your most important instrument for upward motion. It's about concentration and overcoming your fears for the void.
this is an extreme hobbi and also is a very good excercise
