My hobby is doing extreme sports. Many people go in for extreme sports, because other kinds of sports are too boring for them. There are many different types of extreme sports: rock climbing, diving, rafting, snowboarding, parachuting… Two extreme sports I do the most often are parachuting and diving.
Parachuting is an exciting and adventurous sport. When you are flying, you feel freedom like a bird. Many doctors think that it helps to save people from stress and depression and it is a good way to lose weight. But if you have not learnt how to land, you can break your legs.
Diving is a very adventurous sport. You will see a beautiful world under the water. But besides beauty, there are a lot of dangers. For example, you can meet poisonous sea creatures, you can be poisoned by oxygen, or you can even lose consciousness.
But the advantage of doing extreme sports is that it can satisfy your need for adventure. There are more people who are doing extreme sports than you might think. All of them want to experience something more than their normal lives can offer. They want adventure. I believe there is an adventurer inside every one of us. It doesn’t matter how old or strong you are. The adventurer is there – it’s just hidden away somewhere. If you find that spirit, your life will take on new meaning.
Doing such type of sport also causes producing adrenaline in your blood, what is a source of exciting emotions. You can completely forget about your everyday problems. You can’t be concerned about business phone calls or examination results when you’re jumping out of a plane.
I think each kind of sport deserves to be respected and extreme sports are not an exception. As far as I am concerned, nowadays our life is monotonous, and extreme sports give us an opportunity to make it more various.
