Types of extreme tourism
Types of extreme tourism
Water sports of extreme tourism include: diving,
wakeboarding, water skiing, windsurfing, surfing, kayaking, rafting.
Diving (snorkeling, diving) is very popular in
all over the world. Russian divers are mostly young, their
the average age is 30 years (in the USA - 36). This is an intelligent city
Russian youth: in Russia, the vast majority (77%) of divers
have higher education (50% in the USA).
In general, diving in Russia is very poorly developed and costs according to our standards.
very expensive by the standards. Yes, and the number of travel companies, I suggest-
There are few people who take this type of recreation directly in Russia. After all, Cher-
the sea, of course, cannot be compared in the beauty of the underwater world with the Red
nym. Therefore, many Russians prefer to travel to Sharm El
Sheikh or Southeast Asia. For a slightly higher price they
get much more pleasure.
Wakeboarding is a combination of water skiing, snow-
cleaning, skating and surfing. The boat is towing a raider standing on a
mouth, wide board. Moving at a speed of 30–40 km/h with additional
ballast on board, the boat leaves behind a wave that
ruyu raider uses as a springboard. In a jump, you can perform
many different tricks. Particularly dynamic wakeboarding
began to develop in the early 1990s. He revolutionized water
sports in the same way as snowboarding in alpine skiing. From SW-
treatment of a small group of enthusiasts, he turned into a popular
ny sport with its own philosophy and culture. Lots of tricks
came to wakeboarding from related "board" sports -
snowboarding, skateboarding, which gives the wakeboarder the opportunity
progress throughout the year. All you need is just change
board!
The cost of a full set of "wakeboarding" equipment -
from $400. For wakeboarding you need a special boat, but such
boats are expensive, which is why they rarely appear in Russia. Investigator-
but, in our country, this type of recreation is almost not developed due to
the juice cost of the tourist product.

Water skiing is one of the most famous types of outdoor activities.
Ha. This is a worthy replacement for mountain and cross-country skiing. Aquatic
skis first appeared in 1922, when the American Ralph Samuel-
dream, a resident of Minnesota, experimenting with the usual winter
skis, I decided to try them on the water. Two wide pine
he equipped the boards with fasteners for the legs. After that, the inventor
on foot tried skiing on the waters of the lake in Lake City. This kind of sports
constantly progressed, and today it has become so spectacular
and popular that in 1998 the Greek Olympic Committee recommended
allowed to introduce water skiing into the program of the 2004 Olympics in Afi-
nah. True, the final decision of the IOC on this issue is
and did not accept.
Windsurfing is a type of sailing; races on special
oval CFRP board with a rough surface
for stability, with stabilizer fins on the lower flat
sti and a small sail that is attached to the board. was born
in the USA (1968).
Surfing is the same, only without a sail. Actually, windser-
Fing originated from surfing. With a good wind, you can develop
speed over 10–12 m/s. Well, today's record is
over 70 km/h.
Kayaking is a solo sport, although it is not without team spirit.
It makes it possible to challenge the elements and stay alone with her.

wailing a boat and water.

but also an element of the game. Freestyle kayak is the performance of various
tricks on a boat due to the peculiarities of the river relief.

complexity or to carry out game rafting on a small segment of the mountain
noah river, choosing individual obstacles in the form of barrels, shafts and
falls and passing them lightly. Natural to feel
confident during rafting, you need to master the basic technique

vest, skirt (prevents water from entering the boat), rubberized
slippers and paddle.

Rafting is a fascinating descent down a mountain river in a canoe or
special rafts. Rafting is one of the most visited tours,
completely safe even for the youngest tourists. In recent
over the years, it has attracted such great interest from amateurs
lei extreme vacation that most suitable for this
tourism of mountain rivers were mastered by professionals who are now
offer rafting tours to almost anywhere in the world.
Rafting tours are mainly of the following types:
day or half day and multi-day trips. During multi-day
tours tourists get to the remote corners of the mountains with untouched
nature, set up camp as the river passes and explore
wild surroundings around parking lots.
Terrestrial types of extreme tourism include:
biking, caving, caving, X-racing.
Mountain biking (mountain biking) is becoming more and more popular.
popular, despite its high cost.
Speleology. Judging by the fact that speleologists are people who
who in their free time go to caves with huge backpacks
zakami, then this is tourism. But at the same time, speleology is a science,
affairs of geology, namely cartography and hydrogeology. And most importantly,
caves are the last white spots on the world map, the last
the opportunity to go where not only no human has gone before,
but also where the gaze of his eyes or cameras did not fall. Research
this mysterious underground world and speleologists are engaged.
To engage in speleology, one must have a serious preparation
ku, and not only physical, but also technical, as well as psycho-
logical.
Spelestology is a fascinating mixture of tourism and science,
teasing cavities of artificial origin. In a broad sense
words spelestology is the science of artificial underground structures
zhenyakh. Spelestology is closely related to speleology, only spele-
stologists are not interested in caves. They are interested in penetration into
any underground urban structures that are inaccessible or uninteresting

X-racing is when extreme tourists are so good
and universally prepared that they can climb rocks, jump on
horses, kayak or raft along the rapids, rush along the
ram on a bike and go down the ropes under the waterfall ... These
people unite in teams and participate in competitions, the goal

Mountain types of extreme tourism include: mountaineering,
skiing and snowboarding.
Climbing is considered the most extreme recreation. Today
mountaineering is a whole industry that is uniformly
but develops and popularizes. Usually for climbing
it is customary to choose summer when the weather allows with minimal
loss to reach the intended peak. However, spicy lovers
sensations do not stop even in winter, and difficult weather conditions
and avalanches only add spice to the journey. They go to the mountains
to test yourself, take risks, overcome everything and get to the top
tires. The taste of victory is sweet, even if the climber conquered not El
timber, but just a wall at the local climbing wall.
The main problem of mountaineering in Russia is a small number of
number of experienced instructors.
Alpine skiing and snowboarding. Alpine skiing is one of the oldest
types of active recreation. Over the years, the number of people wishing to
skiing has not decreased, but rather increased.
In addition, now the ski service is much better and more diverse.
more diverse than 10 years ago, not to mention the 1980s, 1970s.
Almost every ski resort has slopes for both professional
sionals, and for beginners.
Snowboarding - descent through the snow from the mountain slopes on a specially
equipped board. It is more aggressive, active and extreme

kami newfangled hobbies were mostly surfers,
who did not want to sit around waiting for the summer days. In our country
snowboarding gained mass recognition in the mid-1990s.
Extreme hobbies associated with skiing and snow-
housekeeping can be divided into several groups: frisking (frisking,
or Freddie), - descent along steep unprepared slopes with difficult
relief; heliskiing - the same, but using

Air types of extreme tourism include: para-
suit sport, ballooning, hang gliding.
Parachuting is no joke, and all of the following
nye disciplines imply serious preparation.
Classic skydiving includes two exercises.
The first is jumping for landing accuracy. The task is to defeat
3 cm target. The second exercise is a complex of figures
in free fall. The competition is on time. That's enough-
but a conservative sport: the complex of figures itself does not undergo
changes for many years. Requires fine craftsmanship and
janstva in the results.
Group acrobatics. This discipline aims to
construction of the maximum number of different figures by a team of
several paratroopers. Classic number of skydivers
in a team - 4 or 8. There are also teams of 16 athletes.
A team of four can build in free time
falling about 30 figures.
Dome acrobatics consists in building formations from
canopies of opened paratroopers. This makes her fundamentally different.
from other types of parachuting, where work on the result
goes to the opening of the parachute (except for jumps for precision landing
leniya).
When performing figures of dome acrobatics, parachutes enter
in direct contact with the parachutes of other athletes, with
this often causes blockages of domes. Therefore, paratroopers, for-
doing dome acrobatics, you need special equipment
