this PowerPoint will talk to you about the equipment for skydiving, jet skiing, skiing and mountain biking where you do these activities. what the sport is and loads more

2. • Skydiving is a sport involving a skydiver jumping down from an
airplane while it is flying and parachuting to the ground. Skydiving
can be done individually and with other people. Training is required
to go solo. skydiving involves three phases of activity: the free fall,
the descent with open parachute, and the landing. For reasons of
safety, skydivers are required to open their parachutes at about
2,200 ft. If it is your first time at skydiving then the most common
way to skydive is Tandem skydiving Free-fall, securely connected to
a highly qualified instructor who will safely control your descent.
this only requires a small amount of training
• (about 30 minutes long).
• there is a weight limit for the tandem jump a person must be no
more than 15 stone to do a buddy jump

3. • The parachute is the most
important piece of equipment you
need
• The altimeter tells you when to
deploy your parachute.
• A skydiving jumpsuit protects you
and your clothing from high winds
as you fall, and from any objects or
shrubs on the ground when you
land
• Protective skydiving equipment like
a helmet, padding and spinal
protector can help prevent injury in
case something goes wrong on your
jump.
• The automatic activation device
(AAD) will launch the parachute
even when you do not manually
pull the ripcord. This crucial piece
of skydiving equipment detects
how fast you are falling, and
releases the backup parachute if
the speed of your descent indicates
that your main parachute did not
deploy.

4. • In the uk there are many places on

5. • The benefits of taking part in skydiving are so huge that you will have an ultimate
thrill. You will feel excited, nervous, fearful it will be a moment to never forget.
• The skills you will pick up during your experience will help you later on in life you

will enjoy every signal minute and most definitely want to go back up for another
ride of your life

6. • The training that is required for skydiving isn't huge. An
instructor will give you a lecture of the health and safety rules
then after that you will have a few dummy runs on opening
the parachute. This will include you sitting on a chair and
practicing where the rip cord is ready to release the
parachute. once you fill confident and your instructor feels
satisfied with you he/she will take you up for a chance in a life
time

8. • jet skiing is an outdoor adventures sport that is great for people
that love adrenaline. It is quite an easy and simple sport to learn.
When you do jet skiing you have to have to use your muscles a lot.
When you do jet skiing it gives a lot of excitement and it is a great
way to go at high speeds on the water.
• jet skiing is a brilliant sport to do in the summer or if your away on
vacation, you will never be let down by doing jet skiing because you
can get a lovely view of the ocean and the beach when you ride
through the waves.
• when doing jet skiing there is different types that you can do and
there are also different ways to experience it depending on where
you do it, it can be quite different to other sports. Also when doing
jet skiing you need a lot of upper body strength because you hardly
can sit down and you need very good balance to prevent you from
falling of into the water

9. • a life jacket- the life jacket is there to help you if you struggle to swim .
• a wet suit- having a wet suit provides you with thermal insulation to keep
you warm.
• a helmet- the helmet is there to protect you from damaging your head I
case of an accident
• sea- to ride on
• eye goggles- this to protect you from sea water getting into your eyes
because obliviously you will be going at high speeds on the water .
• gloves- you will be standing most of the time but it recommended to wear
gloves for a better and more comfortable grip to your handle bars.
• jet ski boots- this gives you a better grip for when you are standing up on
the jet ski and they will keep your toes and feet warm because they will be
getting very wet from when you start riding your jet ski
• flare- in case your jet ski stops working in the middle of nowhere, then
you can set a flare off to set a signal out that you need help then the
rescue team will come and search for you.

10. • before you even start jet skiing you need a jet ski licence
• preparation before you are about to ride your jet ski: check your
jet ski over, fully charge your jet ski before you even think about
going out to sea. Top up on the fuel tank and carry spare spark
and tools. Before getting on a jet ski you need special training
for it, which will prevent you from injuring yourself.

11. • these are some places where you can do jet
skiing in the UK.
• middle moor water park woolavington
summerset
• tor bay south Devon
• church wilne jet ski centre, Derby
• Monk stone jet ski and PWC club, West Wales

12. • Skill development- doing jet skiing is really good skill development because
it gets you using a lot of techniques like having a good balance, and using
the strength you have all the time
• self confidence- jet skiing does give quite a bit of self confidence because
you have to be quite brave to do this sport, so in a way you have to have
trust and faith in yourself to do this, which gives you a lot of confidence in
itself
• team work- you may think that jet skiing is an individual sport but you are
wrong. Jet skiing is as much as team sport as football is. For starters you
have the instructor that teaches you about how to ride the jet ski safely. Then
you have the air and rescue in case of an emergency. You have the jet ski
trainers and all the staff that help out

13. • Fitness- doing jet skiing is very good fitness because you need good upper
body strength for it, so you have to use your muscles a lot , especially in the
arms and the legs because for the arms you need good strength and
muscles to hold onto the handle bars, and for the leg muscles you need
good strength in them to help you to keep your balance on the jet ski. Which
is very good for fitness for you and exercising your muscles especially.
• enjoyment- there is so much enjoyment in doing jet skiing because you get
a massive thrill from doing it and the excitement of it and going high speeds
on water makes it even more enjoyable, and it doesn’t matter what sort of a
person you are because jet skiing is a sport for everybody. So don’t be
scared give it ago !!!!!

17. Skiing involves two individual skis which are two long thin plastic
strips, there are different skis for different types of skiing like;
slalom skiing and fast skiing, you van have longer or shorter skis.
The smaller skis increase speed and the longer ones allow you to
go slower but also have more control, the smaller ones let you
go faster and do tricks, they are also less controlling so you are
more at risk of injuring yourself. to ski you generally need snow,
although there are dry slopes which allow you to ski on a wet
carpet, its not as easy to ski on as snow but if you can ski on dry
slope then then you will be better at skiing on the snow.

18. To ski on snow you will need
• a pair of skis, to go down the mountain with
• a pair of ski boots that fit into the skis securely so you don’t fly out
• salopettes that is waterproof so you don't get wet or very cold
• thermals to keep you warm
• ski jacket to stop you getting wet and keep you warm
• helmet so that if you fall over it will protect your head from any injuries
• goggles or sun glasses so that the wind and snow can’t affect your eyes
when you go fast down the slope and to stop the sun from shining in your
eyes
• Chocolate encase you are lost and you need sugar
• Money encase you get lost from your family so you can buy a drink or
some food until you get in contact with them
• electrial devise of some sort like a radio encase you get lost or separated
you can contact your family or friends or help
• ski pass, so you can get on lifts and go higher up the mountains

19. You need to be reasonably fit as it is an exhausting activity, as you are
constantly on your feet and using your muscles a lot. You should have
basic training at least as it can be a dangerous activity because you van
pick up speed and go very fast down a hill that has a server drop from
a grate height. Also you can ski into other people so you need to know
how to control your skis in the direction you would like them to go and
how to control your speed and your stopping distance from people.
You might be in the middle of nowhere for a while constantly on your
legs so you need to have strong leg muscles as there might not be a
safe and practical place for you to sit down for a while. Also you need
to be train for all slopes and conditions, like ice patches and different
colour slopes. This is because the different colour slopes are different
difficulty and you could easily take a wrong turn and go down a slope
that you can’t cope with.

20. You can do this activity in a few places in the UK,
but on a smaller scale of snow, like Milton
Keynes or a dry slope like Knock hatch. Knock
hatch is close; it is in Hailsham so that would be
more convenient for people who live in
Eastbourne area. Milton Keynes is further away
but a good place to practice on snow. Otherwise
there is other countries where it is known for
snow like; Canada, Austria, France ect.

21. • skill development
for skiing you are developing your fitness and making it better and your muscles
stronger. Having stronger muscles means that you will have more balance, when you
have more balance you can control your stance better and means you will ski as you
can control your speed, balance, turning and stopping. Also the more skills you have
you can start to do jumps or even moguls. Moguls are like speed bumps in the snow,
they are fun to do but also require strength in the legs, balance and control as you pick
up speed or fall over by catching your skis in the bump.
• Self confidence
You have to have confidence when skiing because it can be quite a scary and
dangerous sport. This is because you can go quite a fast speed and not have much
control especially when it’s a narrow slope with steep sides which you could fall of and
there might be people in front of you round a corner so you have to have the
confidence that you wont go into them or off the edge, you have to be able to keep it
under control and be calm. Also you could possibly get lost as it is all snow or trees
and many different routes down the mountain, so you have to have the confidence if
you get in that situation to ask someone or to be able to cope with yourself until you
find or contact someone

22. • team work
For skiing there is also team work involved, for example the person who
taught you, rescue team, ambulance stand by team, lift workers bars and
restaurants on the mountain ect. Without any of them it would be either
more dangoureos or less enjoyable for your experience for example, without
the ambulance team on snowmobiles you could be stuck up on a foreign
slope who you don’t understand waiting for ages but because of the
ambulance they can get to you quickly and take you down the mountain by a
snowmobile. If the injury is serious then they contact the rescue team who
will air lift you off the slopes. Without a lift worker and you would have to
walk up every time you came down the slops, so having a team of lift workers
means it will make your holiday easier and more enjoyable and you will get
more out of it. The bars and resuarnts are very useful on a slope as you could
be skiing all day and get dehydrated or hungry and as there are bars all the
way down the mountain it means you wont dehydrate and your day will last
longer as you can have a sit down and have a brake whilst preparing to go
skiing for the rest of the day.

23. • fitness
Skiing is good for your muscles for example your stomach. To keep still on steady
on a slope especially as a beginner you will be using your stomach as you don’t want
to fall over. All the bending and twisting will strengthen your muscles from either
side of your spine leading up to your stomach down to your pelvis. It also improves
your cardiovascular system because;
Your cardiovascular system means elevating your heart rate which increases blood
circulation, bringing more nutrients and oxygen to your tissues and helping to
remove waste more quickly .

24. • enjoyment
Skiing is a fun activity, and I say this from experience. It’s exhilarating and it goes your
adrenaline going. Adrenalin is a chemical called endorphins which are released into your
blood stream which give you a rush of excitement you get this when you re going fast
and know you’re at risk of injuring yourself but you do it anyway because it feels good,
although you shouldn’t do this as you could hurt yourself by getting to confident. Also if
you fall over you might not realise you have hurt yourself at the endorphins are like
painkillers and will numb the pain when it could be serious but you wont think twice
about it and it could progress and get worse. There are different types of skiing so if you
are bored of going down a slope all the time you can do moguls or go to the park and do
jumps or grinding. There is also a off piece skiing which you can do, it’s thick snow that
takes strong legs to do, it is fun and dangerous but if you fall it will be on soft snow

26. Mountain biking is a sport which consists of riding bicycles off
road ,often rough terrain ,using specially adapted mountain
bikes. Mountain bikes share similarities with other bikes ,but
incorporate features designed to enhance durability and
performance in rough terrain.
This picture helps show you
what mountain biking
involves

27. Many riders would carry the required equipment in a backpack
includes a water bladder , also essential tools in case the bike
would break or if they would get a flat wheel and etc. Many
riders would also carry emergency supplies in the case of a injury
and not able to get outside help .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/mountainbiking

28. There are many ways to start training and preparation , you could always
start from almost anywhere from a back yard to a gravel road just as long
as it is off road biking. Also you would need to have the knowledge of fixing
a mountain bike in case of any accidents when riding if you do not then
then It would be a good idea to start to learn for the future. Also when
riding you need to be able to navigate a map which is a skill in mountain
biking.

29. No matter what the season you can visit anywhere is the world and you can mountain
bike anywhere as long as it is off road.

a group when going mountain biking. This is the safe option being in a group in case
of an emergency. By doing this activity it builds on your team work skills as by you
all being there to help each other and this is working in a team. Team work
encourages you to work together and build on confidents and communication skills
