Activities

BASE JUMPING is the recreational activity of leaping from fixed structures and using a parachute to safely descend to the ground. The term “BASE” is an acronym representing the four types of fixed objects one can jump from: Building, Antenna (typically radio masts), Span (bridges), and Earth (cliffs). Jumpers typically exit from a high point like a cliff, may experience a period of freefall, and then deploy their parachute to reduce speed for landing.

SOAP BOX RACES  The youth-focused soap box car racing program, running in the United States since 1934, is hailed as “the greatest amateur racing event in the world.” The competition sees cars racing downhill, driven solely by gravity.

CLIFF DIVING is to dive into the water from a height of between 5 and 28 meters. To make the challenge a little more challenging, the diver must perform several tricks during his descent. This discipline is therefore not made for those who are afraid of heights, it requires courage, willpower and excellent self-control.
