In Britain,horse boarding is a fresh sport!Boarders on off-road skateboards are dragged by horses,reaching speeds of over 35mph.
Horse boarding was invented by Daniel Fowler-Prime,after he tied a rope between his mountain board and a horse.He had a try on the farm,laughing with his friends.Soon he realized this could actually be a new sport.This summer,he's going to organize Britain's first Horse Boarding Championship(錦標(biāo)賽).
According to Daniel,"We have people from all over the country coming to the training ground to try it.You only need a bit of space and a lot of guts(勇氣)."Easy for him to say,he's a professional stunt (特技) horse rider,but for many people,holding on to a rope while keeping balance at 35mph has to be very hard.If you are thinking to try out the sport,you have to get ready for some serious bumps(碰撞).Falling off the board at high speeds is just like jumping out of a car at 30mph.
As the newest sport in a while,horse boarding is becoming popular,really fast,so its inventor decided to organize the first championship,in the coming summmer.Teams are made up of a board rider,a house and a horse rider.They will race on a 100-meter course.And the team that crosses the finishing line first is the winter.So if you like horse riding and skateboarding,you'll want to keep an eye on this one.
