Athletes about extreme sports and favorite boards

SPORTS LONGER BECAME AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR LIFE even if at times his presence boils down to awkward attempts to put into the daily routine short workouts at home on a dust mat for yoga, or even to wear leggings and comfortable workouts. That is why we have prepared a series of interviews with girls who are addicted to or professionally engaged in extreme sports: someone will inspire their examples to sign up for regular classes in the gym, others will be encouraged to ride their first wave somewhere on the African coast. All our heroines ride on different types of boards - from skateboard to surf - and do not think their lives without sports.

about the fight for the wave and sportclubs

For ten years of skiing in a hundred places on earth there were not so many ugly cases, and all of them were associated with extreme situations. For example, I take the biggest wave from the set, I'm going to the collapse zone, and on the way to my wave another person “sits down” and is not going to yield to me. This is called drop in our language. In general, the stories when the guys, on the contrary, gave me their wave, because I was a girl, there was much more.

about strength of mind and enlightenment

Extreme sport fosters strength of mind and courage. On a trip to the Philippines, we drove to the surf spot in a motorboat, hit the thunderhead and the boat overturned. While we were waiting for help for several hours, none of the guys and girls panicked or nervous. All worthy of the test. People who are involved in extreme sports, others, communication with them is amazing. I recently heard the phrase that the surfer is seen in the crowd by the open clean look. I am very glad that I can look at the world with such eyes and that I myself can often look into such eyes.

about friendliness and aggression in the sports environment

This year, in mid-October, I closed the kite skiing season in the Baltic Bay for myself. There were big waves, which were quite enough for classic surfing. I wrestled with the elements and cold in two wetsuits, but at the end I received incredible emotions. Here who else will go on such feats? Only people who have a love for sports combined with a lack of brakes and strong self-confidence.

about the absence of competitors and tricks

Learning new tricks is the maximum work on yourself, both physically and psychologically. The head must work, because you need to understand the physics of the stunt. Skateboarding is a very technical sport! Each trick is an inspiration, so skaters are so different and each has their own style of riding. Each trick has a secret access key to help it perform, and I share some of them in my videos.

about the sense of risk and support of loved ones

The girls in the snowboard are treated as weaker and more fragile. Everything, of course, depends on the person, but most girls are more cautious than guys, which is why in extreme sports, men often perform more complex and dangerous stunts. My main advice is that you don’t need to take a lot of risk and rush trying new tricks. Everything needs to be approached sensibly and constellation.
