Adventure sports are also called Extreme Sports for the extreme thrill they provide, the extreme energy and resilience they demand, and in some cases, the extreme danger involved. These sports take the individual or group away from accepted realities, soaring into the sky for a free fall, trekking dangerous gradients where every footfall rests between life and death, diving into deep waters.... The thrill is in the adrenaline rush and the feeling of achievement that follows. Adventure sports are about adventure, and adventures mean pushing your limits of courage, endurance and effort.
