Many people today go in for extreme sports. Perhaps, they find ordinary sports too boring and unexciting. It is also known that extreme sports help to build character and form a strong personality. There are different types of extreme sports, for example, rock climbing, rafting, scuba diving, surfing, snowboarding, parachuting, hang-gliding, bungee jumping etc. These activities usually involve speed, height and a good level of physical training. However, they become more and more popular even among the beginners. Doing such sports people learn how to overcome difficult situations and how to survive in an emergency. It also develops patience and self-control, and helps to control your fear. More importantly, it gives the sense of achievement. I have always been scared of parachuting, but surfing or windsurfing don’t seem frightening to me at all. I like doing these sports. Some people might think that they are rather dangerous or risky. They simply don’t know how it feels to be out there standing on the surfing board. I think when you risk you learn how to use your head before acting. Nowadays, many young people find these activities entertaining and spend their free time paragliding or surfing. At the same time most adults think that there are safer sports, which also help to build your character. For example, swimming, football, ice hockey, skiing and some others. In conclusion I’d like to add that even though I don’t parachute or scuba dive myself, I admire people who dare to do such sports. I think it requires a lot of courage and inner strength to do extreme sports.
