Get Ready to Fly High
What do you usually do on May Day? Some of us will go on a slow bike ride in the countryside with our friends. But these days, others are riding their bikes a bit differently. They do back flips, turn around in the air, and jump over things as tall as themselves. What are they doing? Bicycle kung fu? No, it’s an “extreme sport”.
Teenagers all over the world are doing more and more extreme sports. The most popular ones include inline skating, BMX cycling, snowboarding, skateboarding, and bungee jumping. Why are they called “extreme”? They all have a few things in common: they’re fast, dangerous, and usually send people flying through the air.
These sports started on the streets, and were then made popular by ESPN, the American TV sports network. ESPN held its first international extreme sports competition, called the “X Games” in 1995. The X Games soon became a twice - yearly event with winter and summer games.
Now more and more Chinese teenagers are falling in love with these cool sports. In cities like Beijing and Guangzhou, in the parks or streets, teenagers often practise inline skating or skateboarding, learning new tricks (花样) from their friends.
Kids who do extreme sports usually wear baggy (肥大的) clothes. And they try to ride their bikes or boards anywhere they can, like on steps, tables, and rails (扶手). Of course, sometimes they fall down and get hurt. But they aren’t afraid. Once they get back on their feet, they start doing it again.
In 1999, “Xcellent”, a national extreme sports competition, started in China. Since then, hundreds of young people from all over the country have got together each summer to show what they can do.
Extreme sports are becoming so popular that even the Olympic Games are starting to welcome them. Mountain biking is now a part of the summer Games, and snowboarding is in the winter Games. A BMX event was included in the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics. “It’s a change that we can’t stop,” said Mark Dyreson, a US Olympic historian (历史学家). “The Olympics have to look into sports that people are interested in.”
