The Book of Adrenaline Risk: Extreme Sports in Air, Land, and Water

by: Beatriz Scaglia
Dangerous, counter-cultural and highly adrenaline-inducing sports are those that normally fall under the scope of extreme sports. These sports make use of extreme speeds, heights, and levels of physical exertion and are considered to hold high risks for injury. Popularized by the X Games which highlights these activities, extreme sports have gained momentum in all areas of air, land, and water sports.

Strap that helmet on tightly, take a deep breath, and jump on for a ride through the crazy, often nonsensical, world of extreme sports including wingsuit flying, base jumping, caving, ice boating, sandboarding, street lugeing, free-diving, and many more.

GoPro HD HERO camera: Base Jump Movie

Learn about the new GoPro HD HERO® camera at gopro.com. GoPro's HD Helmet HERO® camera shoots with such clarity you may develop a visceral need to strap on a parachute and follow Neil Amonson off a cliff. Shot in 960p (1280x960) HD resolution. 960p is a 4 aspect ratio, which means you're going to see 25% more top/bottom viewing area than you do with 16:9 widescreen aspect ratios. Both are killer, but in the case of this base jumping movie, 960p shows more of the cliff as its passing underneath, and more of the scenery above and below. 16:9 would look good, too...just not as immersive.
