FAQ

How long does it take for you to learn to ski/snowboard?

It is possible that you won't be able to learn to snowboard immediately.

The average person begins learning around five years of age. However, some kids start practicing when they're only two years old.


What happens to someone who falls off a cliff while participating in extreme sports?

Extreme sports may cause injuries if you tumble off a rock face.

This injury could prove to be life-threatening. If you fall from more than 30 metres (100 feet), you could get serious injuries.


From where does extreme sport originate?

Parachuting is the origin of extreme sports. Parachuting became popular during World War II. The 1942 parachute jump was the first.

Parachutists jump from planes and gliders. They flew at high speed to the ground. They then opened their parachutes.

Parachute jumps are dangerous. These parachutists also died. But after the war, paragliding became increasingly popular.

1948 saw the first paraglider pilot fly near Lake Garda. Paragliding is a growing sport. Paragliding is now enjoyed by thousands each year.

Para-gliding differs from parachuting in one crucial way. Para-gliders are able to land on the water instead of on the ground.


What should kids do if they want to take part in extreme sports.

The answer depends on whether you discuss sports as a whole or individual sporting activity. They should do all the activities. However, if we're talking about specific types of sport (i.e., skiing), this would depend on what kind of skiing they want. Extreme sports like bungee jumping are enjoyed by some while others enjoy more gentler options such as downhill ski. It all depends on the level of risk involved. One example is that someone who enjoys bungee jumping might not like skydiving due to fear of heights.
