2 Adventurous sports (also called action sports, agro sports, and adventurous sports) is a popular term. 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. These Sports gained popularity in the 1990s when it was picked up by marketing companies to promote the X Games and when the Extreme Sports Channel and Extreme.com launched. There are however several characteristics common to most extreme sports. While not the exclusive domain of youth, extreme sports tend to have a younger-than-average target demographic. Extreme sports are rarely sanctioned by schools. The Adventurous Sports Are Also Known As ‘ EXTREME SPORTS ’.

3 BASE JUMPING BASE jumping is parachuting or wing suit flying from a fixed structure or cliff. "BASE" is an acronym that stands for four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump: building, antenna, span, and Earth. Due to the lower altitudes of the jumps, BASE jumping is significantly more dangerous than skydiving from a plane. In the U.S., BASE jumping is currently regarded by many as a fringe extreme sport or stunt In some jurisdictions or locations, BASE jumping is prohibited or illegal; in some places, however, it is permitted. BASE jumping became known to the wider public by depictions of BASE jumping in a number of action.

4 CAVE DIVING Cave diving is underwater diving in caves which are at least partially filled with water. The equipment used varies depending on the circumstances, and ranges from breath hold to surface supplied. Cave diving is generally considered to be a type of technical diving due to the lack of a free surface during large parts of the dive, and often involves decompression. In the United Kingdom it is an extension of the more common sport of caving, and in the United States an extension of the more common sport of scuba diving. Compared to caving and scuba diving, there are relatively few practitioners of cave diving. Despite these risks, water-filled caves attract scuba divers, cavers, and speleologists due to their often unexplored nature, and present divers with a technical diving challenge.

5 EXTREME IRONING Extreme ironing is an extreme sport and a performance art in which people take ironing boards to remote locations and iron items of clothing. Extreme Ironing Bureau, extreme ironing is "the latest danger sport that combines the thrills of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt Part of the attraction and interest the media has shown towards extreme ironing seems to centre on the issue of whether it is really a sport or not. It is widely considered to be tongue-in-cheek. Extreme Ironing Is Also Known As “ EI ”

6 FLOWRIDING Flowriding is a late-20th century alternative board sport incorporating elements of surfing, body boarding, skateboarding, skim boarding, snowboarding and wakeboarding. Flowriders ride on artificial waves that are technically called "sheet waves". Powerful pumps project a three-inch layer of water at speeds ranging from 20 MPH to 30 MPH. The water flows up and over surfaces engineered to replicate the shape of ocean waves. Sheet waves are stationary waves, in that the wave does not move forward, and the movement is derived from water flowing over a stationary surface. Flowriders get their speed from the energy of the water flowing at them, and can perform basic to sophisticated turns and tricks.

7 PAINTBALL Paintball is a sport in which players compete, in teams or individually, to eliminate opponents by tagging them with capsules containing water- soluble dye and featuring a gelatin outer shell propelled from a device called a paintball marker. Paintballs are composed of a non-toxic, biodegradable, water-soluble polymer. The game is regularly played at a sporting level with organized competition involving major tournaments, professional teams, and players. Paintball technology is also used by military forces, law enforcement, para- military and security organizations to supplement military training, as well as playing a role in riot response.

8 RAFTING Rafting and white water rafting are recreational outdoor activities which use an inflatable raft to navigate a river or other body of water. This is often done on whitewater or different degrees of rough water. This generally represents a new and challenging environment for participants. Dealing with risk and the need for teamwork is often a part of the experience. The development of this activity as a leisure sport has become popular since the mid-1970s, evolving from individuals paddling 10 feet (3.0 m) rafts with double-bladed paddles to multi-person rafts propelled by single- bladed paddles and steered by a tour guide at the stern. It is considered an extreme sport, and can be fatal.

9 WAVESKI Waveski Surfing is a dynamic sport combining the paddle power of a siT on and strap in kayak with the manoeuvrability and performance of a surfboard. A Waveski resembles a larger surf-board, with a seat, fins, foot straps, and seat belt, enabling the rider to 'eskimo roll' if overturned. The waveski rider or waveski surfer then uses a double ended paddle for motion while seated on the waveski. The origins are obscure, but waveskis have been around for over forty years. The sport experienced its major growth in the 80`s with manufactures like Macski being a dominant force in the market exporting worldwide to countries like Australia, USA and Europe.

10 WINGSUIT FLY Wingsuit flying is the sport of flying through the air using a wingsuit, which adds surface area to the human body to enable a significant increase in lift. The modern wingsuit, first developed in the late 1990s, creates a surface area with fabric between the legs and under the arms. A wingsuit flight normally ends by deploying a parachute, and so a wingsuit can be safely flown from any point that provides sufficient altitude for flight and parachute deployment— normally a skydiving drop aircraft, or BASE-jump exit point.

11 XPOGO Xpogo is an action sport which involves riding and performing tricks on specially designed "extreme" pogo sticks. Today’s Xpogo sticks have the potential for over 10 ft. of height (measured from the ground to the bottom of the tip) Extreme pogo is a relatively new and popular extreme sport. [2] Xpogo can be seen in athlete exhibition teams, Xpogo content on sites such as YouTube, and the annual Pogopalooza The Xpogo World Championship Series. [2]
