It is during such moments when Extreme or Adventure Sports comes to play. Extreme Sports are those that provide the much required adrenaline rush that the person seeking its comfort looks forward to. Among these sports, the most commonly known is Paragliding.
Paragliding is an amusement exercise and sometimes a contest of flying non-motorized vehicles called Paragliders which are light-weight and free-flying glider aircrafts without any severe basic structure. The major equipments used here are the Wings and the Harness which seats the Pilot. Certain instruments also accompany the gliders as GPS, Radio and Variometer which is used to check the momentum and height. Conventional techniques of Paragliding include launching (reverse, towed and forward), soaring, control, descent and collapse. Various competitions are also held for boosting this sport, like Cross Country Paragliding where the paraglider is required to traverse from one region to another in a glider; Aerobatics-here certain maneuvers are to be performed by the glider; Bivouac-this requires travelling in a specific route and returning.
