Outdoor Activities
“Outdoor activities” are extremely popular. These include boating, camping, hunting, hiking, fishing, back-country skiing, and white water rafting. The term “Sportsman,” by the way, refers to someone interested in hunting and fishing. In many parts of the country, rifle and pistol shooting at target ranges is a popular sport. Ski areas, both downhill (alpine) and cross- country (nordic), exist all over the United States.
Extreme Sports. Another growing field of activity includes such dangerous
"extreme" sports as hang gliding, parachute jumping, sky diving, downhill mountain biking,
and bungee jumping (jumping from heights while attached to an elasticized rope).
