CASE STUDY: EXTREME SPORTS

Encouraging wider sports participation requires looking much further than traditional team sports. The ‘new kid on the block’ is the adrenaline packed world of extreme sports ; skate boarding, surfing, climbing, potholing, canoeing, snow boarding or bmx. Furthermore, extreme sport is not just about physical participation , it’s a whole culture of equipment , fashion and music.

dtparticip8 recognises that such activities are often ideal for regeneration sites, where either the landscape can be adapted or artificial conditions created and where the community benefits are fuelled by a commercial attraction. We are currently working with a consortium to package such activities in a number of locations within the UK.
