Homework 2
I am going for a hike in the southern Rocky Mountains, before I graduate. I love hiking because you can really get in touch with nature.
Extreme sports are very new in America, they usually come from people trying the craziest tings. Bungee jumping is a good example. Someone tied a bungee cord to himself and jumped off a very tall bridge. Bungee cords stretch a lot, so the person lived, but he took a big risk to find out if his idea would work. Another extreme sport is snowboarding. A skier decided to stand sideways on one piece of wood to get down the mountain instead of using two skis.
People like these dangerous sports because they are exciting.
Not everyone can become a professional basketball or football player. Not everyone, especially youth living in the city, has access to large green fields. But kids still want to compete.
So all over America, young people started skateboarding and bicycling. This is where the Extreme Games, or X-Games, started.
