Mixed Martial Arts

This is a sport that I have started doing few months ago my main dicipline is Muay thai and I am learning boxing skills Kickbox(K1) and submission wrestling .I think this is the most extreme sport in the world because your life is in you hands you might die while doing it.Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full contact combat sport that allows the use of both striking and grappling techniques, both standing and on the ground, including boxing, wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, muay Thai, kickboxing, taekwondo, karate, judo and other styles. The roots of modern mixed martial arts can be traced back to the ancient Olympics where one of the earliest documented systems of codified full range unarmed combat was utilized in the sport of Pankration. Various mixed style contests took place throughout Europe, Japan and the Pacific Rim during the early 1900s. The combat sport of Vale Tudo that had developed in Brazil from the 1920s was brought to the United States by the Gracie family in 1993 with the founding of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), which is the largest MMA promotion company worldwide.
Kiteboarding
I have started to windsurfing while it isn't that popular in Turkey after few years that I have started windsurfing I saw this amazing sport called Kiteboarding. There is a parachute which you are using as a sail and as a board there is a small board like wakeboard and you can do tricks and stuff. I havent tried it very much actually beacause you have to spend like 15 days to learn kiteboarding I believe that it is harder than windsurf because kiteboarding is more dangerous than windsurf you have to be more careful while you control the parachute. I wish that I will stay longer this year and learn how to do it while enjoying my holiday.Kitesurfing harnesses the power of the wind to propel a rider across the water on a smaller surfboard or a kiteboard (similar to a wakeboard). The terms kiteboarding and kitesurfing are interchangeable. There are a number of different styles of kiteboarding, including freestyle, freeride, downwinders, speed, course racing, wakestyle, jumping and wave-riding which is focused on kitesurfing big waves using a directional board similar to a surfboard.The history is not actually is to do an extreme sport but.In the 1800s George Pocock used kites of increased size to propel carts on land and ships on the water, using a four-line control system - the same system in common use today. Both carts and boats were able to turn and sail upwind. The kites could be flown for sustained periods.The intention was to establish kitepower as an alternative to horsepower, partly to avoid the hated "horse tax" that was levied at that time. In 1903, aviation pioneer Samuel Cody developed "man-lifting kites" and succeeded in crossing the English channel in a small collapsible canvas boat powered by a kite.



Wind Surfing 
Windsurfing is an a activity that ı have been doing it for 8 years every year we go to çesme alaçatı with my family and we stay there about a week I cant spend my holiday doing nothing and staying in a hotel. It is a very tough sport to do you need muscles and skills to learn the wind with 10 hours of lesson you can learn how to do it but like driving car you have to spend time. The hardest part is to learn the wind you have to learn how to use it in your benefit if you fight with nature you will be defeated soon or late my father always told me that love the wind and dance with it.  Windsurfing, as a sport and recreational activity, did not emerge until the later half of the 20th century. But before this, there have been sailing boats of various designs that have used wind as the driving force for millennia, and pollynesians have been riding waves for many of them, undertaking day trips over oceans standing upright on a solid board with a vertical sail.According to the Forbes list Çeşme , Alaçatı is not on the list but I believe that it will improve itself in future because it is a paradise and I have spend the best days of my summer in Alaçatı.

Sand Boarding

Sand boarding is a sport which is similar to snowboarding the logic is same and most of the times old snowboards has been used to do this sport . Instead of snow and luxury hotels desert and sand is your friend in this journey. As ı know there isnt any facilty to do it there is no t bars and lifts to take you up to the sand hills . t is less popular than snowboard, partly because it is very difficult to build a mechanisedlifts on a sand dune, and so participants generally must walk back up to the top. Alternatively, they may ride a All terrain vehicle    back to the top of the dune. Dunes are normally available year-round as opposed to hotels, which are usually seasonal. As well, the availability of sand dunes confines participants to warmer areas.
, professional sandboarding champion, holds the Guinness Book of World recpentry for the longest-distance back flip at 44' 10". Tenge is also a four-time world sandboarding champion and holds three world records.
Namibia ,is the centre of sand-skiing, which is similar to sandboarding; however, it is performed with skis instead of a board.  The locations that you can do sand boarding is you can expect places that have desert. Sanboarding in Australia  Little sahara on Kangaroo Island ,The best sand dunes for sandboarding in Egypt include the Great Sand Sea near Siwa Oasis,Most of the sand-skiing in namibia is performed in the namib desert dunes around Swakopmund  and walvis bay



BUNGEE JUMPING

Bungee Jumping is an activity involves jumping from a tall structure while connected to an elasstic cord.It can be also done jumping from a moveble object like helicopter.The aim is to feel the free falling. The history of bungee jumping is a tradition to proof of passing childhood to manhood. In 1950's BBC film crew have made a documentary called 'LAND DIVING'  and it is the most similar act to bungee jumping it is a ritual performed by man in Pentecost Island , Vanuatu and a similar practice only with slower pace for falling has been practised as the Danza de los Valadores ot the Papantla Flyers of the Central Mexico a tradition dating back to the days of Aztecs . The first time when I heard it is  tradition of Astecs was a paragraph that is on the pack of a patato chips . Doing bungee jumping is one of my near future plans that i want to do it this summer there are several locations that you can do it in Turkey. Safety and Possible injuries.The most common injury is if the harness fails and break down.There are several injuries like that another risk is if you have heart problems you might have a heart attack.The first Bungee Jumping platform have built in Antalya Lara Beach and another platform is in Istanbul Boshphorus Çubuklu Hayal Kahvesi.I really want to do it but my parents doesnt look positive to my idea.

Hi everyone winter is almost at the door even in Çukurova today I will give you the brief information the sport that I'm in love with it.Snowboard was first invented in the Kaçkar mountains , northeast of TURKEY hundreds of years ago. Some villagers were enjoying on the snow with a piece of wood.

In Europe and US, the first object that resembled a snowboard was invented by Sherman Poppen in 1968 and was called the Snurfer (combination of Snow Surfer).The snurfer was fairly simple and had no bindings. However the state of UTAH claims that the first snowboards were developed and manufactured there in the early 1970s, and was commemorated in 2007 by the United states mint  among the three semi-final designs of the Utah state quarter At least one source believes that Jake  Burton carpenter (founder of Burton snowboards and/or Tom Sims (founder of Sims Snowboards) invented snowboarding.According to a story Tom Sims invented snowboard when he is studying at  8th grade.This is the brief information about snowboard.Once you started you will never want to stop doing it and you will have a incurable addiction.

I always wanted to do snowboard when I was in primary school everytime we go to ski holidays my father didnt let me do it he always told me to wait for another year he forced me to learn skiing proper  after 8 years of skiing;finally in my Prep year my father let me to do snowboard.In the beginning I was very bad at it but after the years pass I got better and started doing tricks 2 years ago and improving myself I am hopin to study University in Canada so ı could be a perfect snowboarder.

Wheelie is the one of the basic stunts in motorcycle world .It might be the first thing that you got curious about when starting to stunts in motorcycle. You have reached to the level that you wanted riding your motorcycle then it’s the time for starting a wheelie.

I have started to try wheelies about two weeks ago I am still not so successful so I will introduce the best stuntman in the world and the people who is teaching this in basics. When ı first bought my bike I felt like ıt is impossible to do a wheelie on my bike but after my gym teacher show me how to do I still couldn’t figure the logic as soon as I do i will share it with you. I saw millions of crash while people is trying to do a wheelie so I put will all the videos that you need to how to pop a wheelie starting to it, power wheelies, how to pop the clutch and how to not to crash while doing all these things it is very dangerous if you don’t take it seriously.

I will basically explain how to do a wheelie ’basically you need a bike with enough power to raise the front wheel off the ground with simple acceleration. You need to get comfortable with the front end getting "light". Most stock bikes won't be able to do this without some modification. You can also try getting the bike up to a good speed in first gear(around 10-20 Km ph.), once you reach the power band (where the engine starts to go faster with little throttle) let off just a little, then give it a lot of gas. Not so much gas that you flip over, but a good amount.’ But don’t forget only the ones who can stay patient can live for a long time in motorcycle world
