Indoor Skying

Indoor Skydiving is the amazing freefall simulation experience created by floating over a powerful vertically mounted fan.
Ever wanted to go skydiving but didn't like the idea of jumping out of a plane. Indoor skydiving may be the answer. You don't need a parachute in this ultimate freefall experience. You can go indoor skydiving and feel the exhilaration of unlimited freefall without even boarding a plane or leaving the building.
Indoor Skydiving involves being in a vertical windtunnel, and floating on a powerful updraft of air. The walls of the indoor skydiving chamber are transparent, so that others can watch you while you have a most uplifting experience!

The impressive structure has been designed and built specifically for indoor skydiving and bodyflying. The tunnel employs state of the art technology which accurately controls the environment inside the tunnel.

Skydiving


Skydiving and parachuting is the art of hurling yourself from a height and safely floating to the ground using a canopy to slow your descent. The initial freefall before the parachute opens is quite exhilarating. Some people get a rush from the more extreme sport of base jumping, where you jump from a high cliff with a parachute and open the parachute at the latest possible moment. Although this is a serious adrenalin rush, there are significant risks of not only hitting the cliffs, but also misjudging when to open the parachute.Skydiving typically involves jumping out of an aircraft from a height of 4000 metres. If you are going to have a freefall experience, then you will be in control of when to pull the ripcord which will open your parachute. For beginners and those who have been given a skydiving gift, you will normally have a static line parachute jump. For a static line parachute jump, the ripcord of your parachute is attached to a line in the airplane. When you exit the aircraft, your parachute will automatically open for you.

Wing walking

Wing walking is an aerial sport where you are strapped the a frame on the wing of a plane and then perform various moves whilst the plane flies at speed in front of an audience.
You can nowadays have your very own wing walking show. You can invite friends and family to watch you as you demonstrate your thrill seeking nature by showing off your wing walking skills on the top of a biplane. Before you take off, you will get a complete wing walking lesson, at the end of which you'll be a qualified wingwalker who knows all about the required hand signals, using the frame on the wing and harnesses.

Wing Walkers must be at least 18 years old, be between 1.52m and 1.83m and weigh less than 82.5kg. If you are over 65 you will need to provide a doctors note stating your suitability for the activity. You need to be able to climb up to the top wing of the aircraft .

Climb Sydney Harbour Bridge

Climb Sydney Harbour Bridge
I still remember I climbed Sydney Harbour Bridge with my friends on 2/9/2014. First I want to introduce the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Sydney Harbour Bridge is located in the nice and iconic Sydney Harbour, it connects the south and the north Sydney, which cars, bikes, trains and people can cross over the bridge. The Harbour Bridge boasts 8 traffic lanes, 2 railways and a pedestrian and bicycle lane, it starts from the Central Business District (CBD) to the North Shore.
We were 4 people included me went in the small room, there were other people in the room, they also climbed together with us. When we finished signing the forms, we started dress the specified clothes. We were all excited and talked with other people, they were all tourist and that was their first time came to Sydney. 2 people from London, 1 from America, 3 from Hong Kong.  Then we needed to put our private things in the lockers. After that, we had to follow the tutor practice how to climb the bridge up and down. Next step was climbing the bridge. We could see the beautiful Sydney Opera House and the people looks like ants on the grass. I could see the cars under my feet.  On the top of the bridge, I could the whole scene of Sydney. We couldn’t bring anything on the bridge, the tutor helped us take photos and tell us the history of the bridge. But we just could climb the half of the bridge, I hope next time I can climb the whole bridge.
I was so happy and that was my first time climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

The rules of football


Now days, football is quite popular in the world. There are some culture about football rules .The English in the 19th century created the first rules for the game of soccer . Ebenezer Cobb Morley was the first to draw up the laws in the Laws of the Game. The laws were approved at a meeting of the Football Association (FA) on 8 December 1863. 
This was done because the rules of soccer were still relatively free and easy, with no standard form of the game. Each school or club in fact developed its own adaptation and, at times, these varied considerably.Without a referee to enforce them, or clear specifications to these rules. For example, what would have been considered a foul in Liverpool might have been accepted as a fair tackle in London. Since soccer sparks some pretty intense competition at times, it caused serious troubles in mid 19th century England. And Soccer fights became common. This caused most of the London clubs to meet in the Freemasons' Tavern in London on 26 October 1863, forming the Football Association (FA). They decided that they would need certain rules for the game of soccer if they were to keep on playing competitively.

The rules of basketball


Basketball is a team sport. Two teams of five players each try to score by shooting a ball through a hoop elevated 10 feet above the ground. The game is played on a rectangular floor called the court, and there is a hoop at each end. The court is divided into two main sections by the mid-court line. If the offensive team puts the ball into play behind the mid-court line, it has ten seconds to get the ball over the mid-court line. If it doesn't, then the defense gets the ball. Once the offensive team gets the ball over the mid-court line, it can no longer have possession of the ball in the area in back of the line. If it does, the defense is awarded the ball

The ball is moved down the court toward the basket by passing or dribbling. The team with the ball is called the offense. The team without the ball is called the defense. They try to steal the ball, contest shots, steal and deflect passes, and garner rebounds. 

When a team makes a basket, they score two points and the ball goes to the other team. If a basket, or field goal, is made outside of the three-point arc, then that basket is worth three points. A free throw is worth one point. Free throws are awarded to a team according to some formats involving the number of fouls committed in a half and/or the type of foul committed. Fouling a shooter always results in two or three free throws being awarded the shooter, depending upon where he was when he shot. If he was beyond the three-point line, then he gets three shots. Other types of fouls do not result in free throws being awarded until a certain number have accumulated during a half. Once that number is reached, then the player who was fouled is awarded a '1-and-1' opportunity. If he makes his first free throw, he gets to attempt a second. If he misses the first shot, the ball is live on the rebound.

Each game is divided into sections. All levels have two halves. In college, each half is twenty minutes long. In high school and below, the halves are divided into eight (and sometimes, six) minute quarters. In the pros, quarters are twelve minutes long. There is a gap of several minutes between halves. Gaps between quarters are relatively short. If the score is tied at the end of regulation, then overtime periods of various lengths are played until a winner emerges.

Each team is assigned a basket or goal to defend. This means that the other basket is their scoring basket. At halftime, the teams switch goals. The game begins with one player from either team at center court. A referee will toss the ball up between the two. The player that gets his hands on the ball will tip it to a teammate. This is called a tip-off. In addition to stealing the ball from an opposing player, there are other ways for a team to get the ball. 

One such way is if the other team commits a foul or violation
