  1. I think the extreme sports are going to be a trend because some people like this article describe seek for new thrill adventures. I tried canyoneering and water rafting in my country, and I like it a lot. Some of extreme sports I might not want to try it, but some of extreme sports I will like to try because I can challenge myself and look the beauty of the nature. Randy Lin

  2. yes i think it is trend now than in the pass because now there are many extreme sports with good security that everybody can do it. for example i did bungy jump and it was awesome because i feel something that it is difficult to describe it is a mix of fear and adrenaline. i think that it is a good thing that many others sports do not can give to us for this reason i want to continue my experience with extreme sports.

  3. This article is about extreme sports. Bell said “Extreme sports are different from competitive sports because the opponent isn’t a team or a player, it is fear and danger". In particular I never did a extreme sport, and I am not interesting in do it because I do not like to put at limit my emotions.I do not like to make me afraid or put me in dangerous by myself. I think that there are people that enjoy it, but I enjoy different things. Jennifer Bradford
