Extreme Skiing
Skiing can be grouped into two general categories. The term “skiing” typically brings to mind what is actually Alpine skiing, or downhill skiing. It originated in the European Alps. The other type of skiing includes cross-country, free style skiing, ski jumping and Telemark style skiing.
Snowboarding Tricks
Snowboarding was inspired by skiing, skateboarding, and surfing. Developed in the United States in the mid-1960s, snowboarding has gained popularity since its development in the 1960s and 1970s. It became a Winter Olympic Sport in 1998.
BMX Biking Skills
BMX biking requires much less expensive, specialized gear than snowboarding or skiing. BMX riders can compete through racing, tricks on trails or in parks, or even flatland. With tons of different flavors, there are a lot of ways that BMX biking can appeal to kids of all ages.
Skateboard Ollies & More
Skateboarding is one of the most popular action sports. Unlike skiing and snowboarding, skateboarding doesn’t require expensive gear or specialized terrain. Skateboarding probably came about in the late 1940s when surfers wanted something to do when there were no waves to ride.
