An interactive science show based on the extreme popular original Extreme Sports Show seen by tens of thousands of people across the globe. The Reloaded Edition of the Extreme Sports Show brings Extreme Sports right up to date with some of the most modern Sports the adrenaline fuelled world has to offer! We take an in depth look at the aerodynamic properties of base jumpers and wing suits, including the highest jump of all from the Red Bull Stratos! We see the high flying world of the X fighters and Cliff Divers looking at trajectories and torque forces on athletes as they fly through the air! And back down on the ground and in the water, we delve into the elastic world of slacklining and the engineering forces behind it, and the winds and water of windsurfing and how windsurfers move easily through the wind. This action packed show looks at the simple science behind 5 adrenaline sports! Join us in this amazing adventure and maybe you too will become an Extreme Scientist!

We will be looking at the Science of Wind Surfing in the Show

Flexible quote comes in as: £710 inc VAT for 1 show per day if this is the only event and travel. Quote is flexible based on the team doing other events at the festival and also the number of days the event runs. This is the highest possible cost, we hope to work with the BSF team to bring this down, we value the importance of the Science Festival to do good work and endeavor to support this through helping the festival afford more events.
