The company grew and they opened their own carbon and aluminum companies. They also started manufacturing frame components in-house. High-quality frames helped push the company's prices to new heights.
FAQ
Is football an extreme sport?
It all depends who you ask. For thousands of years, millions of people have been playing football around the world. Many would argue it isn't a sport but a form or entertainment. Others argue that it is a similar sport to any other. And then some believe that football is nothing less than the ultimate sport.
The truth is somewhere in the middle of these extremes.
Football is an extreme game. However, it requires teamwork, strategy and skill.
What are some examples of extreme sports?
Here are some examples of extreme sporting events:
-
BASE jumping -- This is one of the most dangerous extreme sports. BASE is short for building, antennae. span, and Earth. It involves leaping off a cliff to glide down using a parachutist. BASE jumpers must pass rigorous exams before they can attempt the stunt.
-
Climbing -- Climbing is another type of extreme sport. This involves climbing rocks, trees, cliffs, or other structures. Climbers often wear protective gear to protect themselves from falls.
-
Freestyle skiing -- Freestyle ski is often considered the ultimate extreme sport. Freestyle skiing combines snowboarding and skating. It requires speed, agility, and balance.Skiers use special equipment called skis to move across the snow.They also use specially designed boots to grip the surface.
-
Paragliding -- Paragliding can be described as a form of parachuting except that paragliders are able to fly through the air and not fall to the ground. Paragliders typically launch from mountainside. The paragliders then pilot the plane using the ropes tied to its wings. The pilot can then pull the rope from his harness to make the plane land. The parachute opens automatically.
-
Surfing -- Surfers travel along the ocean floor on waves of water. Surfers typically stand upright while surfing. They hold onto the board with both their hands. It allows the surfer a way to propel himself forward. He paddles back into deeper water when the wave recedes.
-

-
Skiing -- The oldest form of winter sport is skiing. The original meaning of the word ski was "snowshoe." Skiing remains a favorite sport because it is a great way for people to get fit.
However, there are now different types of skiing than when the sport first started.
You can choose from cross-country skiing or alpine skiing.
Alpine skiing, however, is the most difficult. Cross-country skiing, however, is easier to learn. Downhill skiing, however, is the easiest. Freestyle skiing can combine all three.
Where did extreme sports originate from?
Extreme sports began with parachuting. Parachuting was created during World War II. 1942 was the year that saw the first parachuting jump.
Parachutists leapt from gliders and airplanes. They flew low to the ground at high speeds. Then, they opened their parachutes.
Parachute jumps are dangerous. Parachutists were often killed during these events. Paragliding became popular again after the war.
1948 saw the first paraglider pilot fly near Lake Garda. Paragliding's popularity has only grown over the years. Paragliding is a popular sport that thousands take part in each year.
Parachuting is one of the key differences between paragliding and parachuting. Para-gliders are able to land on the water instead of on the ground.
