 Extreme Sports

Summer's just around the corner, encouraging some to dust off the tennis racket or
rummage round the cupboard for the cricket bat. But for some in Britain traditional
outdoor pursuits are just not enough. So how do extreme sports devotees get their
kicks?

Extreme sports are about exhilaration, skill and danger. They do not normally involve
teams and there are very few rules. People who take part use their skills and experience
to control the risks. That control is what makes them sports and not just dangerous
behaviour.

Here are just some of the extreme sports which are popular in Britain:

Kitesurfing: a growing band of enthusiasts have been discovering the thrilling

combination of kite, board and waves. These kites can be up to 17 metres long. Catch a
gust and you're motoring - up, down and across the surf. British Ladies kitesurfing
champion Jo Wilson says: "It's always an adrenalin rush. It's unpredictable. You could
jump 5ft or 35ft. You never know if you're going to go up in the air, and your heart is
just going boom, boom, boom all the time."

Coasteering: this is exploring the coastline without worrying about a coastal path or
finding a rocky cliffy cove blocking your route. You climb, dive, swim and clamber from
A to B. There are about 15 operators in the UK offering coasteering.

Sky diving: traditional parachuting just doesn't sound risky enough, does it? So now
skydiving is the name for jumping from a plane and listening to your heart pounding as
you hurtle towards earth before you open your parachute at the last moment. Once
you've got a few jumps under your parachute you can throw in some extra risks, for
example try a 'hook turn'. Dean Dunbar is a participant of extremedreams.com and his
first sky dive was in 1998. Since then he's been hooked on the buzz of the extreme,
saying: "Every so often I have to go out and do something scary."

Mountain biking: it's been around so long that bikers are no longer satisfied with just
going up and down a mountain. Nowadays thrill seeking mountain bikers want a big
slope to go down very, very fast. "It's pure mad, downhill," according to Dean Dunbar.
"People go to old ski resorts, take the chair lift to the top then bomb down - amazingly
not killing themselves."
