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 30second bungee jump costs from $50 to over $300 in different parts of the world. Taken and adapted from Ecce-Reading.
