Bull riding
Bull riding refers to rodeo sports that involve a rider
getting on a large bull and attempting to stay mounted while the animal
attempts to buck off the rider. In the American tradition the rider must stay atop the bucking bull for eight
seconds. The rider tightly fastens one hand to the bull with a long braided
rope. It is a risky sport and has been called “the most dangerous eight seconds
in sports.” Outside of the USA, bull riding traditions with varying rules and histories
also exist in Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Brazil,
Argentina, New Zealand and Australia, with the majority of them following
similar rules.
The Running of the Bulls is a practice that involves running
in front of a small group of bulls (typically a dozen) that have been let loose
on a course of a sectioned-off subset of a town’s streets. The most famous
running of the bulls is that of the seven-day festival of Sanfermines in honour
of Saint Fermin in Pamplona, although they are held in towns and villages
across Spain, Portugal, in some cities in Mexico, in San Jose Festival held in
Trujillo, Peru, Mesquite, Nevada, southern France during the summer.
Cheerleading
Cheerleading is an intense physical activity based upon
organized routines, usually ranging anywhere from one to three minutes, which
contains many components of tumbling, dance, jumps, cheers and stunting in
order to direct spectators of events to cheer for sports teams at games or to
participate in cheerleading competitions.
Motorcycle racing
Motorcycle racing (also called motor racing and bike racing)
is a motorcycle sport of racing motorcycles. Major genres include road racing
and off road racing, both either on circuits or open courses, and track racing.
Other categories include hill climbs, drag racing and land speed record trials.
High Altitude Climbing
Altitude Junkies are known as one of the premier outfitters
offering professionally managed mountaineering expeditions. The effects of high altitude on humans are considerable. The percentage
saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen determines the content of oxygen in our
blood. After the human body reaches around 2,100 m (7,000 feet) above sea
level, the saturation of oxyhemoglobin begins to plummet.However, the human
body has both short-term and long-term adaptations to altitude that allow it to
partially compensate for the lack of oxygen. Athletes use these adaptations to
help their performance. There is a limit to the level of adaptation; mountaineers
refer to the altitudes above 8,000 metres (26,000 ft) as the “death zone”,
where no human body can acclimatize.
BASE Jumping
BASE jumping, also sometimes written as B.A.S.E. jumping, is
an activity where participants jump from fixed objects and use a parachute to
break their fall. “BASE” is an acronym that stands for four categories of fixed
objects from which one can jump: buildings, antennas, spans, and earth.
Cave Diving
Cave diving is underwater diving in caves which are at least
partially filled with water. The equipment used varies depending on the
circumstances, and ranges from breath hold to surface supplied, but almost all
cave diving is done using scuba equipment, often in specialised configurations.
Cave diving is generally considered to be a type of technical diving due to the
lack of a free surface during large parts of the dive, and often involves
decompression.
