Since we are studying "fears and phobias" in class right now, I thought that these videos were more than appropriate and quite honestly very cool.
This week's blog question came from me watching this 60 Minutes episode on Alex Honnold. As I watched Alex climb, I couldn't figure out if he was crazy, brave or a little bit of both. The one conclusion I did come to is that there is NO WAY I wouldn't even think about attempting it. If you are interested in viewing the 60 minutes interview, it is found below.
The above video led to the next video on three extreme sports. Watch the video and then answer at least one of the following questions:
1. These athletes participate in some unique and extreme sports. If you could undertake any sporting adventure, what would it be and why? Remember, you can go anywhere and do anything!
OR
2. These extreme athletes explore nature, including mountains, rivers, and waterfalls, through their hobbies. Imagine that you could explore anywhere in the world. What kind of lands would you like to explore? How would you like to explore them (e.g. on foot, by bike, via helicopter, etc)? Don't forget to explain why you chose that kind of terrain and transportation.
Here is this week's video:
As always, I look forward to reading your responses!
Mr. Boettger :-)
Im rory6180, and i choose 1.
ReplyDeleteI would go kayaking like the guy in the second video because it looks like the most fun out of all of them and looks like it would be a great experience.
if it were me I would agree, because it looks really fun, but where would you do it?
Deletecory6190

i would be a extreme skateboarder because i love to skateboard in the summer and would love to tricks and go on different terrains but i would need wheels that go on every terrain so i could actually be an extreme skateboarder.

niko6150 1)i would go to the north pole and skate 80 miles

1. I would probably go mountain climbing I don't know where exacally. I would do this because I find it interesting plus I hiked up Grosmorn once and and I loved the feeling of reaching the top.
ReplyDeleteCam
Where is Grosmorn and is it a mountian or a big hill?
DeleteI would go hiking through the rainforest of Brazil becuase I love exotic places and it would be cool to go through a place where some of it has not been touched by man at all. I would also kayak in the rivers there aswell becuase it is a faster travel and extreme:)!
ReplyDeletecory6190
lol nice sports cory but u could also do tree top trucking
Delete1. If I had to pick any sport it would be dancing. I would pick dancing because I find that you can push your self to different levels everytime you dance. Like say you could only do the splits one day, the next day you could try to do over exstended splits. You most likely wouldn't get it in the first day but you could work hard and harder everyday till you get it.
ReplyDeleteI think I would travel to L.A because there you see where most of the dancers got seen and started there dream and worked till it became reality.

ReplyDelete#1. I would be an exream runner, i would do races in all diferent kinds of terain but my favorite terain would be in forests, Like in rain forests.i would do that because i love to run, and you can see all kinds of things. also running threw the forest at top speed is my favorite thing to do.
if i could do any soprt i woulld probably want to do extreme down hill dirt biking. i would do this because i like to dirt bike, it brings me happieness!!!!
ReplyDeletehank6160
i would like to explore smooth lands with a bit of medium sized hills. i would explore on horseback. i chose this type of terrain because it wouldn't be difficult that much for me and i would travel on horseback because some horses are good to climb hills and because i feel safe with horses more than a mountain bike or kayak.

DeleteThat sounds really cool! Where else would you go?
I love the sport paint ball because I love guns and running.

I think that I would do the same as the guy in the video, to do extreme kayaking. The reason why is because I have always loved being in the water. When I was at my uncle's cottage, he lives on the Gulf river, which has rapids which is where we go, so I practiced doing the roll. I had seen my aunt do it once and it looked really cool. I had always wanted to try it.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing that I would want to do would be extreme wind surfing. I tried it last summer and it was really cool.

You made great connections to the extreme kayaker !! You did a great job explaining why you would choose that experience :)

If I could explore any place it would be africa on foot with tribes people becuase I would learn many techniques and I would also see many animals it is very hard also becuase of the heat and lack of water.
ReplyDeletecory6190
I would chose to explore the Africa rain forest. The reason I chose the African rain forest is because it has beautiful wildlife and a wide range of animals, such as gorillas, parrots, lemurs, elephants, tree frogs and many more. There are elements like waterfalls and rivers to see too.
ReplyDeleteI would explore it on bike. The reason I would chose to explore it by bike is because it lets you see all the natural beauty, without disturbing it as much as you might if you took another mean of transportation, like car.

DeleteThat is a great place to go and explore! You did a great job explaining why you would go there :) Very well written !!
Deletealex6120
I would go up north and snowmobile up and down and around the mountians and hit jumps off of the mountians.

ReplyDeleteMy extreme sport would be downhill biking or long distance mountain biking because I love to bike already and it get my adrenalin pumping. It also brings me peace.

DeleteThat sounds like fun! Would you go by yourself or with somone? Where would you go?

ReplyDelete1. I would skydive because that seems extreme enough to be an answer to this question. Also I like flying so that would seem like a cool experience compared to everyday life. So skydiving would be an amazing experience.
