This is my bike. It is a 360 btt bike. It is really good for me to do this extreme sport.
BTT is a exciting sport because you can go very fast and I like the speed but at the same time it is very risky. If you are going to practice this sport you must have a good equipment because if you fall down from the bike, it is dangerous if you don´t wear protections so better if you wear them.
I usually go to a mountain near Zizur or to the Perdon or San Cristobal mountains because it is exciting to go down the hills.
If you have a good bike you can practise better BTT exercices because it is more adapted to the hill paths.
I like doing down hills because when I was younger I saw some videos and I liked it, and that´s why I began practising down hills. Once I fell down and I hurt myself quite a lot but I stood up and I got on the bike and I went on down the hill.
Some years later, I bought a better bike and I began to do proffesional down hill mountain biking.
Cambridge won a dramatic Boat Race against Oxford on Saturday following a 31-minute mid-race postponement after a man jumped into the River Thames and swam between the crews, a stunt that provokes security concerns ahead of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
When the race was restarted halfway along the course,an Oxford rower lost half of his oar after the crews clashed allowing Cambridge to cruise to victory over effectively seven oarsmen. A margin of victory wasn't given by officials.
That Oxford bow man required medical attention after appearing to collapse after the race, reportedly because of exhaustion.
Wearing a wetsuit, the intruder who caused the restart, plunged into the Thames at the Surrey bend stage of the race, with around one-and-a-half miles left in the four-and-a-quarter mile course. As the two boats approached him, he ducked his head under the water narrowly avoiding the oars of the Oxford crew.
The man resurfaced, with a big smile across his face, and was picked up by a police boat. Once on dry land, he was led away, wrapped in a red blanket. Oxford were slightly ahead at the time of the postponement.
"I saw a head," said Cambridge's American oarsman Steve Dudek. "I looked over and thought they had lost a guy [out of the Oxford boat]. Our cox immediately said 'stop'."
The race was restarted from Hammersmith Bridge, around the 2-mile point.
The last time the race had to be restarted was in 2001 when there was a clash of blades and an oar was lost by one of the crews.
The fact that Cambridge extended its lead in the overall series to 81-76 will be lost in all the drama of the 158th running of one of England's oldest and most prestigious sporting fixtures.
A few kilometres from Paris, at Fontainebleau, there's a wonderful forest. Here, among the trees, strange rock formations come out of the earth. Some in the shape of animals, others like towers.
Freeclimbing came into existence among these fairy tale surroundings. Some youngsters, almost as a game, began climbing the rocks: their only equipment being gym shoes.
That was many years ago. Now Freeclimbing is practised by many enthusiasts all over the world. After the rocks came the walls of old churches, bridges, seacliffs and finally the faces of the highest mountains, until then the domain of mountaineers. The equipment necessary for this fascinating sport can all go into a little rucksack. To go up as high as four metres, all you need is a pair of special shoes.
But, if you go up higher, safety is guaranteed by a rope. So, the first rule is to try not to fall! To attempt the most difficult faces, requires many years of daily training. A good freeclimber, as well as having good balance and great agility, must also have considerable strength. Just imagine- often the freeclimber must hang by one finger!
Climbing competitions nowadays are very widespread. There is an extraordinary number of very great champions. They manage to climb faces which at first seem perfectly smooth. The athletes must conquer the ascent in the shortest time possible.
Watching is exciting. It's not every day that you see Spider Man in action.
Mark is a 20 year old Australian and as brave as a lion. With a surfboard undder his arm, he walks along the runaway. A plane is waiting for him ready to take off. A last minute check to his equipment, a wave to his friends and off he goes: the adventure has begun.
While we're going skyward, Mark tells about this exciting sport: Skysurfing. Before you can even begin sky diving you've got to be a good parachuter, be able to keep your balance and be a freefall expert. You fly up to a height of about 14,000 feet ( over 4 kilometres ) step into shoes which are fixed on a special surfboard, take a deep breath and jump.
Then,...you start to surf through the clouds instead of waves. But not for long: when you freefall you go down quickly. You've got to open up your parachute in time, take off the board, put it under your arm and then unfortunately, it's already time to land. The hardest thing to do is stay upright on the board.
The most frightening moment is when the board turned upside down and the sky diver is falling head first. Yo need to keep a cold head and try and get upright again as quickly as possible. It's not a sport for everyone: you have to be very well prepared and fit.
You may think that travelling in Britain could be a little dull when compared to the prospect of exploring rather more exotic countries.
It may seem that way, but if you're looking for a really adventurous multi-activity holiday, then Britain can boast of an array of challenging terrains, ranging from the Lake District, Wales, and Scotland to the West Country.
You can try out a sport you've done before, like rockclimbing, canoeing or even pot-holing. If you don't need to feel the ground under your feet then you can choose between gliding and parachuting or experience something rather more gentle in a hot-air balloon. If none of htese take your fancy and don't want any strenuous physical activity, you can always try your hand at clay-pigeon shooting, archery or even that old but rather sport, falconry.
The choices are very wide and it's difficult not to find something to capture your interest. What, may you ask, is the point of going on this kind of holiday, where you spend most of your time terrified you're going to fall off a cliff face, or be drowned in the rapids as your canoe turns upside down?
Well, in spite of feeling hungry, cold and sometimes wet, you discover a new enthusiasm and acquire a great sense of achievement. The areas chosen for these holidays are amongst the wildest and most beautiful in Britain and can work their own magic.
Many British companies are also convinced that is they send their employees together on an activity holiday, they'll come back full of team spirit and it will foster those with potential leadership abilities. This idea does seem to be reasonable as groups of people doing difficult activities together can cheer each other on and work as a group rather than as individuals. Companies obviously hope that this feeling passes on to the field of work.
