What makes extreme sports so popular? The answer is the pursuit of challenges and risks. At present, there is a new extreme sport born almost every week. The following are some new ones:

究竟是什么使得極限運(yùn)動(dòng)如此流行?答案便是對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)及冒險(xiǎn)的不斷追逐。現(xiàn)如今，幾乎每一周都有一種新的極限運(yùn)動(dòng)誕生。下面便是幾種新型的極限運(yùn)動(dòng):

Street luging

街頭雪撬

This extreme sport is considered very dangerous and involves riding a street-luging-board, or a sled, down paved roads or courses. Sometimes, these adrenaline(剌激) seekers luge down hills in the middle of traffic, which made the sport much more risky.

這是一項(xiàng)很危險(xiǎn)的極限運(yùn)動(dòng)，參與者坐在街撬板或者雪撬上，沿著鋪設(shè)好的路線急速滑行。有時(shí)候?qū)で筘菁さ娜藗儠?huì)順著山坡滑到道路中央，因而使得該運(yùn)動(dòng)的危險(xiǎn)性極大。

Rock jumping

跳巖

Rock jumping is as crazy and descriptive(描述的) as it sounds. Each jumping from rock to rock means a new success for adrenaline junkies. Some even jump long distances with 100 feet more drops in between. Definitely it's not for the faint-hearted.

正如其名字所描述的那樣，跳巖運(yùn)動(dòng)極為瘋狂。跳巖的美妙在于每從一塊巖石跳到另一塊巖石時(shí)，對(duì)于參與者而言都意味著一次成功。有些人甚至在間距超過100 英尺的巖石間跳躍。因而膽小的人是絕對(duì)不適合這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)的。

Kite jumping

鳳箏跳躍

Although it looks like a lot of fun , it is actually extremely dangerous. It is similar to power kiting, but with this you simple jump into the air for brief periods of time, and allow the wind to drag you along. The most difficult part about kite jumping (and the most dangerous) is actually in the landing which is said to be hard to control.

雖然看起來這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)很好玩，但事實(shí)上它卻是極為危險(xiǎn)的。它有點(diǎn)像動(dòng)力風(fēng)箏，但這個(gè)只需要你在極短的時(shí)間內(nèi)跳入空中，借助風(fēng)力前行。這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)最難的部分(也是最危險(xiǎn)的部分)就在于著陸很不容易控制。

In all, when one kind of extreme sport is born, extreme sport lovers are born, because young people like challenging "all things impossible".

總之，只要一個(gè)新的極限運(yùn)動(dòng)誕生了，那么它的愛好者就會(huì)出現(xiàn)，因?yàn)槟贻p人總是喜歡挑戰(zhàn)所有“不可能的事情”。
