I’m not really an athletic person and Itaskve never been into sports but I think if I took up a sport. Itaskd like to do something unusual. A few weeks ago I was watching a TV programme about unusual interests and sports and I saw something that looked strange enough for me to try. Ittasks called extreme ironing. There people who do it claim ittasks more than just an extreme sport. They like to call it a performance art! Personally. I think it looks like a lot of fun. What happens is you take an ironing board to a remote place (for example, to tire top of a mountain, to a desert or even under the sea!) and iron a few items of clothing on it I must admit. I really like tire idea of combining the excitement of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well pressed shirt. Whacky!

Itaskve been doing free running for some time now and I really love it Some people call it an extreme sport but I like to think of it as an art you do with your body. In fact ittasks more similar to dance than to regular running. Ittasks usually done in cities and it involves performing different movements to get over buildings and walls. Movements like running, jumping, acrobatics, dance - anything that will keep you moving. As you run, you focus on freedom and beauty, lire aim is to create a beautiful way of moving. We practise in gymnasiums and in any city areas that are full of obstacles like buildings, cars, walls, trees, etc It can be quite dangerous and injuries are very common. But if you train well and warm up before you run, ittasks not as unsafe.

Itaskve always loved the sea and have tried many different sеа sports. Itaskve been water skiing, windsurfing and of course swimming. But last summer, on a trip to Spain, I tried wave jumping. It was amazing! I saw people doing it during a storm off the coast of Cantabria. They were using their windsurf boards, but you can actually use anything that floats - a surfboard, a jet ski, or even an air mattress! Obviously, you can only do this sport if the weather conditions allow for it. I here have to be fairly large waves. The higher the wave the higher you can jump and, of course, the harder you fall! This can be a dangerous sport as the sea and the waves are very unpredictable. But if youtaskre careful, youtaskll be fine and if you start with small waves, you can slowly progress to bigger waves.

I suppose most people would call me crazy. You see Itaskve always been fond of extreme, adrenaline raising activities. You name it. Itaskve probably tried it! Itaskve been bungee jumping, hang gliding, skydiving and rock climbing. What Itaskd like to try next though is ice climbing. Itaskve been reading up on it and plan to try it this winter. It involves climbing up steep ice formations. Like rock climbing, you need to use ropes if you want to do it the safe way - and I dontaskt plan to do it any other way. Itaskm going to try it on icy cliffs in the Canadian Rockies, but you can do it on frozen waterfalls, rock slabs covered in ice, or any vertical icy surface. Like mountain climbers, many ice climbers risk losing their toes and fingers to frostbite, but thattasks really only if you do it regularly. Itaskm not sure yet if Itaskll want to do it a second time. It will all depend on how the first time goes!
