|

My
favorite extreme sport is rappelling because I like climbing
mountains. The equipment I need is a safety harness, a helmet,
special shoes and a rope. I was six years old when I started
this sport. I have been rappelling for 4years. I like it
because it is an extreme sport . I practice rappelling with
my family and friends. I recommend this sport because it
is a new adventure for everyone. |

My
favorite extreme sport is kayaking because I like water
sports. When I was only eight years old I started to practice
this sport with my father. I have been practicing this sport
for 3 years. Today, I practice with my coach Javier. He
is an excellent coach. I go kayaking in the river or in
the ocean. Sometimes, I go with my brother or with my father.
For this sport I need a helmet, a life
jacket and a paddle. I recommend this sport
because it is exciting and awesome. |
| Scuba diving |

Scuba
diving is fun and creative. To practice this sport I have
to use flippers, an air tank and goggles.
I learned in a club and I like it because I have lots of
friends. Well, I have been doing this sport since 2000.
I was 8 years old when I started. I practice this sport
alone, and I recommend it because it is creative and you
can do it alone or with your family and friends. |
| Water rafting |
|

I
love water rafting for a lot of reasons. First, because
if I fall out of the boat there are other persons that can
rescue me, in comparison to other sports like rock climbing,
where you are alone. Secondly, I practice this sport because
I started doing it when I was six years old, so I have been
practicing it for 5 years.
I like this sport because it is fun and generally, it is
safe because you use a helmet , a life
jacket and a paddle. I learned this sport
in a little river when I went to Mendoza with my parents
in 2000. The person who helped me was a trainer who was
called John. I recommend water rafting because it is exciting
and it makes you forget all your problems. |
| White-water rafting |
|
by Gonzalo Zubiría

My
favorite extreme sport is white-water rafting, it is fast,
the boat moves dangerously and it is so fast that you are
on the ground more quickly than with other extreme sports!
When I tried it in the Colorado River , US, I felt sick,
but the second time was totally different: I laughed and
I enjoyed it so much that I decided to practice it. This
decision was easy because it isn't difficult to learn and
you only need a boat, goggles, a life jacket
and a helmet.
I have been doing it for three years now but I don't practise
it in the Colorado River. However, I go there once a year
during the summer holidays.
You have to try it, it's great fun to do it!!!
