PART 3: READING

Extreme sports
Extreme sports involve some degree of danger, and lots of excitement. Many
people choose these alternative sports over traditional options like soccer or
tennis.

Patrick, 25, practices snowboarding since he was eight. He still feels he needs
to be constantly on the edge*. Catherine, 47, started bungee jumping a few
years ago to add some excitement to her life. Extreme sports, or alternative
sports as others prefer to call them, attract people of all ages, including parents
with their children. Paul, 35, enjoys skateboarding and mountain biking with his
10-year-old daughter. He says that skateboarding requires as much, if not
more, training and skill as soccer, basketball, or boxing. Many parents think that
some of these sports create the perfect opportunity to teach children about
safety, self-confidence and endurance, while engaging in new physical
activities.

Fear is a special component of these cool sports that attract young and mature
audiences. However, according to experts, risk of injury is reduced with
appropriate equipment to do sports safely. Unfortunately, in most cases, safety
equipment is expensive, raising the cost of participating. For example, a 30-
second bungee jump costs from $50 to over $300 in different parts of the world.
