I have never tried an extreme sport but I would love to because taking
risks has always appealed to me. In my opinion, the most interesting
extreme sports are caving and skydiving.
On the one hand, the idea of exploring caves which few people know seems
fascinating to me. I think you need to be really adventurous and brave
to go caving as everything is dark around you while you are crawling over
the rocks or moving ahead lying on your stomach all along the narrow
tunnels and passages which form the cave. You do not really know what
dangers you might face, so it is a risky activity.
On the other hand, skydiving must be an unforgettable experience.
Jumping off a plane and falling at such a high speed must be really
frightening and exciting at the same time. Then your parachute opens
and you are flying like a bird while you enjoy the scenery beneath you.
I do not know if I will ever be brave enough to experience one of these
extreme sports but at least I will keep on dreaming about it.
