Extreme Sports
Some people say extreme sports are dangerous. However, it is reported that regular sports are not all that much safer than extreme ones. Whatever sports you do, if you are not afraid of getting hurt, your enjoyment will be greater. That is especially true for extreme sports. Here is an introduction to three new extreme sports.
Ostrich Racing
South Africa and Jacksonville, Florida, USA are the two homes of ostrich racing. Why do some guys like to practise this extreme sport? In ostrich racing you can see four or even ten ostriches marching forward at one time, and this is seriously strange. For the supporters, there’s a chance to ride an ostrich. Although if you don’t want to be bitten or kicked, you can use carts shaped like ostriches for racing instead.
BASE Jumping
BASE stands for several words—Buildings, Spans, Earth. Spans mean bridges and Earth means cliffs, but then the beauty of BASE jumping is that it’s just launching yourself from anywhere possible with a parachute ready to go. Although BASE jumping dates back to 1978, it has been increasingly popular recently due to Internet videos. Every jump presents a new possibility.
Bird Man Suits
The bird man suit has a few names—the flying squirrel suit, wing-suit and bat-suit. It’s a specially designed suit that lets you glide through the air at controlled speeds, adding a little extra to your usual skydiving experience. This is probably the closest we are going to get to flying. If combining this with BASE jumping, you’ll get some seriously death-defying feelings of excitement!

A、the Little Mermaid
B、Mount Fuji
C、the Leaning Tower of Pisa
