Extreme sports: Exercise 3

Read the text quickly. Match the sports with the pictures.

Paragraph 1: photo 

Paragraph 2: photo 

Up in the air!

1 Bungee jumping
Bungee jumping is a popular extreme sport. People jump off tall bridges or buildings on a long elastic rope. They can even jump from helicopters. When the person jumps, the elastic stretches and the jumper flies up very quickly, then down, then up again! It is a very exciting activity, and isn’t really dangerous. Lots of people do it, especially on holiday.

2 Sky surfing
Sky surfing is a new extreme sport. Sky surfers jump from planes with a small surfboard on their feet. As the surfers fall, they ‘surf’ the air and do tricks before they open their parachutes. It’s very, very difficult to stand on a surfboard in the air, so there aren’t many sky surfers. But there are some sky surfing competitions. The surfers can win medals and prizes. Each surfer needs a cameraman in the air to film the tricks. The films look amazing!
