There is nothing as liberating and exciting as throwing yourself off a moving plane. NOTHING.It is certainly one of those pull-out stops minutes where the sensation of expectation and sitting tight for the leap is developing. Simply the prospect of bouncing makes your heartbeat quicker than a little school kid who is enamored.

The Incomparable Feeling of Excitement and Thrill

Every single one of us has one point or another dreamt of being able to fly.  As soon as you are 13,000 feet up in the air, you jump off and free-fall into the clouds for about a minute. During this time, you feel pretty invincible. Like superman on steroids (if that’s even possible) and in that infinite moment, you can truly say that you are flying.

Satisfy Your Dream of Flying

Skydiving gives you the perfect opportunity to enjoy the scenery from a unique vantage point- from up in the sky!&nbsp; Each experience will leave you speechless as you gaze at the aerial landscape below you.

The Stunning View

Skydiving is one of those activities where you place your life in the hands of a complete stranger. For people with control issues, experience the feeling of letting go as you willfully fall into oblivion (literally). Not only is it empowering, but it also feels pretty good to just let go.

Feeling of Letting Go

There is no greater feeling than being able to overcome and conquer your fears.&nbsp; Scared of skydiving? Great, so is half the population but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t do it.&nbsp; In fact, if you’re scared of doing it, then its even better reason for you to man up, grow some balls and face your fears. You will be giving yourself so many self high-fives as you feel empowered and accomplished after.

Conquering Your Fears

What better approach to demonstrate your dauntlessness than by having an epic second caught on camera?  Be cautioned however that practically nobody looks incredible when skydiving. On the off chance that you ended up getting a decent shot or two, feel extremely grateful. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or a regular person who works in an office and likes cats, skydiving is an adventure of a lifetime that can bring some excitement and thrill into your life.

Epic Photos as Proof of Your Madness Braveness

Self Improvement

<ul><li>Tour de France is a team sport that features a total of 198 cyclists in 22 teams of nine. Over the course of 21 days, usually in July, cyclists cover a race course extending 3,500 kilometers.</li><li>Tour de France is split into 21 stages: Nine flat stages, three hilly stages, seven mountain stages (including five summit finishes), two individual time trials and two rest days.</li><li>One stage is performed every day, covers roughly 225 kilometers, and takes about five and a half hours to complete. Each stage has a winner, and the rider that completes the most stages in the shortest amount of time goes onto win the overall title.</li></ul>

How Tour de France Works

<ul><li>Breakaways — Riders tend to cycle in a main group called a peloton, and have smaller groups break away to the front at almost every stage. Breakaways are a great method to use if a cyclist is not an exceptional climber or sprinter, because it gives them a chance at victory.</li><li> Attacks frequently occur on climbs, and involve a rider abruptly breaking away from the peloton at an extremely high speed in hopes that the other riders won’t be able to keep up with them.</li><li>A sprinter is a cyclist that finishes a race by suddenly accelerating to a high speed, and often uses the slipstream of an individual cyclist or a group of cyclists in order to conserve energy.</li><li>Lead-out Trains — This is a strategy used to setup a rider for a sprint finish. One rider on the team rides at a very high speed, and the team’s sprinter follows close behind to benefit from their slipstream. This reduces wind resistance, and enables the sprinter to achieve faster speeds without using as much energy as they normally would.</li></ul>

Get Inspired: How to get into adventure sports

One of the most powerful motivators is the satisfaction that comes from succeeding at a hard sport and from the grinding it requires. Although some are looking just for the “high” extreme sports bring, some report it helps them feel closer to nature, more self-aware, at peace and even transcendent.

The Motivation Behind Extreme Sports

Researchers found that extreme sports athletes often don’t consider their sports risky, and dedicate a lot of time studying and minimizing risks. They believe they have done all they can to mitigate risks through hard work and focus.&nbsp;

Extreme Sports And Risk

There's a longstanding assumption behind most of the research on extreme athletes: "Clearly, something's wrong with them." That's what Eric Brymer, a researcher at Leeds Beckett in the UK, has seen for most of his career. Why else would anyone willingly participate in an activity that is quite literally defined by its high levels of perceived risk?
