Extreme is a person’s creation of an extreme situation on his own initiative. In this case, he specifically endangers himself for the sole purpose of receiving a dose of adrenaline in the blood. There is the concept of "extreme sports".
Extreme - what is it?
Extreme - this, as mentioned above, is a way to raise the level of adrenaline in the blood, or, more simply, a way to tickle your nerves. In fact, any extreme actions pose an extreme danger to life, which is probably why they excite the blood of some people.
In general, extreme sports are an image of free pastime of a certain type of people, a way of life.
The word "extreme" itself - what is it? Translated from English, it means "extraordinary", "opposite" and "highest achievement", but not danger. It so happened that it is precisely with this word that those sports that are different from those long recognized by the Olympic Committee and humanity are called.
About fear: who engages in extreme sports
Extreme activities are a hobby of courageous, free and successful people. As a rule, young people just want to stand out, and adults are more serious and conscious about taking such sports.
Fear is necessarily present in most types of extreme sports. Often, riders, parachutists, climbers, etc., answer journalists' questions about the presence of fear that they always have it. Otherwise, a person would part with the instinct of self-preservation, which leads to a mistake, due to which you can get injured, or even lose your life.
Extreme in Russia and abroad
First of all, it occurs to an ordinary person that the word "extreme" is associated with the word "danger". Any reports and videos demonstrating the sporting achievements of climbers, ski jumpers, raftists, etc. cause people to admire not only the courage of the heroes, but sometimes the desire to express themselves as follows: “Crazy!”.
Russian extreme still remains only on the periphery of people's consciousness. Although images of skydivers, parkour masters, skiers and other extreme sportsmen are used in advertisements, not many Russians can afford to get involved in such sports.
In his subconscious mind, a Russian person often denies everything that comes from abroad. In addition, many types of dangerous sports are not at all a cheap pleasure; they require considerable financial investments in uniforms, equipment, and trips themselves.
In other countries, this situation is simpler, therefore, a huge number of people spend their free time from work in this way: they ski, go scuba diving, rock climbing, just go to the mountains, etc. The Russian extreme in this regard, although it is developing lately, but lagging behind.
The most extreme Russian occupation is river rafting. For many centuries, forests have been rafting down the great Russian rivers, and prospectors and geologists have tried to fight their fast and mighty waters. Officially, the sport of rafting appeared in Russia only in 1995.
Today it is one of the fastest growing types of recreation for Russians on the water. This is due to the fact that a great country is surprisingly rich in beautiful, interesting and complex water routes.
Extreme sports
Consider some of the dangerous sports: extreme on water, in the air, in the mountains and in the desert.
1. Flyboarding (from the English. “Fly” translates as “flight”, and “board” - as “board”) - a way of entertainment for people who want to learn how to fly. True, this happens over water.
It uses a special supercharger of water, a hose that feeds water and jet boots. Manual stabilizers control the flight and regulate the power of the water jet.
A show with several athletes is a stunning sight.
2. Volcano boarding - riding on special boards along the slope of the volcano. The maximum speed of descent in this case reaches 80 kilometers per hour.
3. Parkour on a trampoline - these are not simple, perfectly calibrated jumps, this is a special kind of certain tricks in the air and interaction with other external objects and various surfaces.
4. Kiting - an amazing universal projectile that allows you to move not only on the ground, but also on water, air and snowy mountain peaks.

The world of extreme sports is diverse. Stratosphere jumping, skiing, sky-skiing, horse-riding, metrosurfing (hooking) and many others. etc. - all this is extreme.
Finally
Everyone knows that any extreme is dangerous, that such an activity can lead to any irreversible consequences.

People (viewers) see only a magnificent bold and deft finale, and years of long preparation and training remain behind the scenes ...
You can not clearly define the word "extreme". What is a challenge? In each of the dangerous sports there is what is called this word. In English, this word means that a person challenges himself, in this way testing his strengths and himself for strength. Will I be able? ..
