Summary

Adventurers seeking to expand human capabilities practice extreme sports all over the world. Today, experts count more than 30 types of extreme sports, which is not the limit since new technologies create new types of sports. Risk, adrenaline, relatively low-cost equipment, and respect from peers contribute to their popularization and distribution. As a result, even the Olympic Committee has succumbed to their appeal and included more than a quarter of this list in the programs of its Summer and Winter Olympic Games.
