	INTRODUCTION OF EXTREME ACTIVITY
Extreme sport is the generic label used for sports that in some way go beyond - in endurance, testing the limits, or danger. The label was promoted in the 1990s by athletes, promoters, the sports equipment industry and advertisers to bring mainstream attention to these sports and at the same time to differentiate them from related sports.   While most sports now classified as extreme have all existed for some time and most have governing bodies and regional and world competitions, extreme sports as a category of sports achieved their highest level of public exposure in 1995 with the First Extreme Games held in June in Newport, Rhode Island. These games were given 45 hours of week-long coverage on the ESPN(Entertainment and Sports Programming Network) cable network and have been popular ever since. The games included street luge, eco-challenge, skysurfing,  sport climbing, barefoot water, ski jumping, in-line skating, BMX dirt biking, mountain biking and bungy jumping.
