V. Conclusion Air Sports
Air sport is an activity involving physical effort and talent on air. Sports are important because they are a great way to live a healthier and longer life. Air sports provide people of all ages, good health and a good functioning of the body. Air recreational activities are popular sports in which sometimes require skill, agility, and concentration when playing. These sports have become popular to participate and watch all over the world. Air sports are divided in three different disciplines like sky surfing, wing suit flying, hang gliding. The first air sport discipline is sky surfing. According to merriam-webster dictionary sky surfing is a “skydiving in which the participant performs maneuvers during free fall while riding on a modified surfboard.” Sky surfing was originated in France in 1988 and it was credited to a man named Patrick de Gayardon. (Gryniewicz n.p.) Because this category is very exciting for many players, “new or unique experiences are words in which they classified this type of sport.” (Tams7). However, sky surfing is a physically demanding sport and only the most trained skydivers can take on the responsibility of playing it. (Gryniewicz n.p.) Rob Harris was one of the most recognized sky surfers. He was born on December 1966; unfortunately died on December 1995. This physical activity requires a peculiar preparation and it can bring you different skills like planning and organizing before enjoying the jump.
