Skydiving

Skydiving is a team sport. Two people are in the team, a skydiver and a video camera operator. The video camera operator videotapes the skydiver while the skydiver does gymnastics. After they've landed, the judge watches the videotape. The team gets point for good gymnastics in the air and good skydiving.


A time for self-improvement

Many Americans prefer recreation that requires a high level of physical activity. This is true of three fastest growing adult recreational sports: jogging or running, tennis, and snow skiing. It would seem that Americans carry over their belief in hard work into their world of play and recreation. The well-known expression "we like to work hard and play hard" is an example of this philosophy.

The recreational interests of Americans also show a continuing respect for the self-reliance, and sometimes the adventure and danger, of frontier life. By the mid-1990s, Newsweek magazine noted that adventure travel had grown to "an$8 billion business, perhaps as much as a fifth of the U.S.leisure travel market." Millions of Americans have bought mountain bikes to explore the wildness on their own. Many others are choosing to go whitewater rafting, mountain climbing, rock climbing, skydiving, helicopter skiing, and bungee jumping.
