Extreme sports by Joe Tomlinson
With incredible color photographs on almost every page, this book provides visual images of every extreme sport possible. Extreme sports are not just surfing, skateboarding and motor-cross anymore. According to this book, team sports are dying out in favor of individual sports which test the individual to the absolute level.
Divided into three categories of air, land and water sports, each sport has a description and photograph of participants. Some of the featured sports are: bungee jumping, hang gliding; high-wire tightrope walking over the Great Wall of China; sky flying; the Ironman contests in Hawaii; mountain-boarding; free-diving; and also the more well-known extreme sports of scuba diving and surfing. Forty-one extreme sports are listed in the table of contents.
Great browsing book; terrific photographs.
