Each sport is described with lively text and illustrated with dynamic action photography. The sports featured in Extreme Sports are organized alphabetically in three major sections: Nine Air Sports: BASE jumping, ballooning, hang gliding, sky diving, sky surfing, etc. Seventeen Land Sports: Ice climbing, ice yachting, mountain boarding, skateboarding, street luge, etc. Fifteen Water Sports: Jetskiing, power boating, snorkeling, wakeboarding, windsurfing, etc. Extreme Sports also features less known sports, such as freediving: a sport that requires participants to swim into the deepest reaches of the ocean carrying only the air they hold in their lungs.
