Extreme Sports!

Base 66: A Story of Fear, Fun, and Freefall BASE 66 is the true, nerve-wracking account of three young skydivers and their quest for membership in the most select extreme sports club on earth: The BASE club. In order to become a full-fledged member, Jevto Dedijer, Bernard Poirier, and Scott Elder had to parachute from the top of a building, an antenna tower, a bridge and a cliff, and survive to tell the story--a feat only some 800 adrenaline addicted people have succeeded in doing.

The Rush or High associated extreme sports

The rush or high associated with these activities may not be due to adrenaline being released as a response to fear, but, more-so due to increased levels of dopamine, endorphins and serotonin because of the high level of physical exertion. The potential of various extraordinary human experiences, many of which parallel those found in activities such as meditation, may also be an important part of the extreme sport experience.

Extreme Sports / Traditional Sports

In a traditional sporting event, athletes compete against each other under controlled circumstances. However, extreme sports differ from traditional sports due to the higher number of inherently uncontrollable variables.

Air - BASE jumping

BASE jumping (also written as B.A.S.E jumping), is an activity that employs a parachute to jump from fixed objects. BASE or B.A.S.E. is an acronym that stands for the four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump. B - buildings, A - antennae, S - spans such as bridges, and E - earth such as cliffs.

Air - Bungee jumping

Bungee jumping or "Bungy" jumping is an activity that involves jumping from a tall structure while connected to a large elastic cord (a factory-produced braided shock cord). When the person jumps, the cord stretches, as the cord snaps back, the jumper flies upwards again and continues to oscillate up and down until all the energy is dissipated from the cord.

Air - Hang gliding

Hang gliding is an air sport in which a pilot flies an unmotorized, light foot-launchable aircraft called a hang glider. The hang gliders, also known as Delta plane or Deltaplane, are usually made of an aluminium alloy or composite-framed fabric wing. The pilot is suspended in a harness from the airframe, and exercises control by shifting body weight in opposition to a control frame. However, some may include modern aircraft flight control systems.
