Skateboarding and Bungee Jumping

林婷婷

Have you heard of extreme games （极限运动）？ Do you like to watch them？

Skateboarding is a kind of extreme games. Skateboarding has a lot of fun. All you need is just a skateboard. Sometimes it is not so safe because you may fall off your board， so youd better wear pads （护垫） and a helmet （头盔）. There are usually special parks for riding skateboards. They have ramps （土堤斜坡） and jumps. And skaters dont have to worry about cars or other dangers.

Bungee jumping （蹦极） is another kind of extreme games. You can go bungee jumping in many countries around the world. But why would anyone want to jump off a bridge high above the ground with nothing to save them but a large rubber band （橡皮绳）？ Some people do it just for excitement. Others do it because they want to get over their fear of heights. And others just want to be able to say， “Yeah， I did it！”
