My presentation on extreme sports, hope you like it

1. An extreme sport is a
popular term for certain
activities perceived as
having a high level of
inherent danger, These
activities often involve
speed, height, a high
level of physical
exertion, and highly
specialized gear or
spectacular stunts.
Athletes in these
activities compete not
only against other
athletes, but also
against environmental
obstacles and
challenges.

2. • Red bull is one of the most
included companies in
extreme sports

advertise it’s drinks

Red Bull events are:

3. • Downhill biking (DH) is a time trial (!)
mountain biking event held on a course
with a decrease in elevation(!). The
races are held on steep, rocky off-road
terrain, often involving jumps as high as
4-5 meters.
• Not any king of bike is used for this
kinds of competitions, but full-

brakes and special geometrics for the
frame(!).

again very professional, involving full
body armor and a full face helmet(!).

4. Wingsuit flying is the sport of flying the human body
through the air using a special equipment, called a
wingsuit. The wingsuit creates the surface area with fabric
between the legs and under the arms. A wingsuit may be
referred to as a birdman suit or squirrel suit(!).
Often this wingsuit flying is done near canyons (!),
increasing the danger of the sport.
