Technology
Technology - love it or hate it - many extreme sports have benefitted from advances in technology.
Skiing has been a method of travel for a number of years, but the slow evolution of modern bindings coupled with first composite then carbon fibre skis has changed the sport.
In a similar way, the advent of smaller lighter surfboards opened up the art of surfing for a large number of people.
In the skydiving world, parachute technology has advanced rapidly in the last few decades, with "wingsuits" and BASE jumpers leading the way.
This section looks at technology in extreme sports, enthusiasts' attitudes to technology and how technology could advance in the future.
