What are some examples of extreme sports?
These are just a few examples of extreme sports events.

-
Paragliding -- Paragliding looks similar to parachuting but paragliders glide through the air rather than falling to the earth. Paragliders usually launch from mountainsides. They then use ropes to steer the plane. The pilot can then pull the rope from his harness to make the plane land. The parachute automatically opens.
-
Surfing -- Surfers ride waves on the ocean floor. Surfers generally stand upright while surfing. They hold onto their boards with both hands.The board acts as a surfboard. The board allows the surfer propel himself forward. When the wave recedes he paddles back to deeper water.
-
Snowboarding -- Snowboarding can be described as another extreme sport. Snowboarders use special boards to glide down hills. To secure their feet to the boards, they also use special bindings. Snowboards come with wheels to make it easier for riders to slide down the slopes.
-
Skateboarding -- Skateboarding is a combination of skateboarding and rollerblading. Skaters use their unique skateboards for navigating city streets and rails. In place of rollerblades, skateboards are utilized.

How is parasailing different from parachuting?
Para-gliding allows you to fly above the ground with a harness attached by a small sail. The harness allows for you to fly. It protects you from falling through the air.
You don't need any equipment to fly. Simply attach yourself to your sail. You then take off. The sail will be pushed against the wind as you ascend in altitude. This helps to lift your spirits.
You continue moving forward as you glide along the ground. Your momentum carries you forward until you reach the end of the cable. You then release your grip to fall back to the ground.
You can reattach the sail when you are ready to begin again.
Parasailing continues to grow at a rapid pace. In 2013, parasailing was enjoyed by more than 1 million people. That's almost double the number who did so in 2008.
