There are many international players making their mark with rugby's current season. This list features seven Bay of Quinte products that make the grade.
The first round of championship saw the Loyalist Lancers (Kingston St. Lawrence Vikings), the Peterborough Fleming Knights (Peterborough Fleming Knights) and the Oakville Sheridan Bruins all grace the pitch. However, there are a few big names that are not on the right side of the draw. Even the Loyalists can't seem to make it past the first stages of the game.
The most prized trophy is the one whose name is on the shirt of the Loyalists. James Lowe, a former Leinster stalwart, is the man who has earned a lot of points for his achievements.
Aside from a tussle with the aforementioned winger, there were a few notable performances from the region's top guns. The Loyalists' scout helmet was especially impressive. The team still managed to achieve an impressive feat, even though it might not be a homerun.
With a few hiccups, the Loyalists newest entrant had its moments. Britt Whiting's brutal blowout and Christine Vandertoorn's impressive score were some of the most memorable moments. Amanda Blair's show was the best. The kicking game won the day, even though she was the OCAA Female Rugby Player of the Week award recipient. Blair took advantage a cold wind to kick three penalty kickes while also winning the player of week award.
There was certainly no shortage of impressive feats to be found in the OCAA's men's and women's leagues. Although it's not unusual to see teams named "Jackson" or "Jake", such names might be better kept in the shadows. The likes of "George North" and "George Davidson" were forced to miss Round 2 with injury, while the "Geoff Farrar" and "Gabe Davidson" stayed home for the win. Nonetheless, the Vikings and the Lancers each came away with a win. As for the other contenders, their respective names sadly remain unknown.
It's a very different story for the OCAA male leagues. Despite being on a losing streak, reigning champs the OCAA is not in the dark. However, the Vikings & Lancers have proved to the OCAA that they're not limited to Kingston. The scores they have accumulated this season show that they have made significant moves. Considering they're only a few rounds into the competition, they have the chance to nab a top-four finish and claim the elusive top spot. If they can keep their heads above water, they'll return to the winners' circle when they reach next year's finals.
It is safe to assume that the other OCAA Men's League contenders will also be trying to win the title.

From where do extreme sports originate?
Parachuting was one of the earliest extreme sports. Parachuting was created during World War II. 1942 was the year that saw the first parachuting jump.
Parachutists were able to jump from both gliders or airplanes. They flew fast down to the earth. They then opened the parachutes.
Parachute jumps can be dangerous. Many parachutists died during these events. However, paragliding became more popular after the war.
1948 was the year of the first paraglider flight. It took place near Lake Garda (Italy). Paragliding's popularity has only grown over the years. Every year, paragliding attracts thousands of people.
Parachuting is one of the key differences between paragliding and parachuting. Para-gliders don't land on the ground. Instead, they land on water.

How To
How do I begin base jumping?
Base jumping, also called free-fall parachuting, is a sport in which participants jump from fixed objects, such as cliffs, bridges, towers, and buildings, without any equipment. To safely land, the participant jumps from the object. The process is very similar to skydiving. However, you do not need to wear a parachutee and don't have hold your breath while waiting for the parachute to open.
A wingsuit-type base jumper, is the most commonly used. A wingsuit has two pieces of fabric, which are sewn together. One piece covers chest and arms, while the second one covers the legs. The boots are specially designed to allow the jumper stand upright during flight. The jumper pulls on the straps to his/her feet to descend. This causes the material covering the legs and legs to bunch up. This creates a large air pocket underneath the jumper. When this air pocket becomes big enough, the jumper opens his/her parachute and lands safely.
Base jumpers may use powered suits to propel themselves faster through the air. Two main components of powered suits are a backpack with batteries and a pack that can be worn underneath the jumper's clothing. These packs have small rockets that can shoot hot gases at high speeds. This creates thrust and propels the jumper ahead. These suits are loud and heavy, however.
BASE jumping is not for everyone. It is important to understand the risks involved in BASE jumping before you attempt to learn. There are several ways to die while doing BASE jumping: you could fall off a steep cliff, hit an obstacle head-on, upside down or collide with another jumper. Although BASE jumping isn't always dangerous, it can prove very dangerous if done incorrectly. You can avoid injury by following these safety tips before trying to BASE jump.
First, practice safe BASE jumping techniques by practicing on a smaller hill. Be sure to spend a few minutes getting used to the terrain before you jump from a higher one. You should also be alert for weather conditions. Try to jump when the wind isn't blowing in your face. Foggy skies are another danger. If you can see more then 10ft ahead of you, you may need to wait for the clouds to clear. Third, make sure you have the right gear. Make sure you have a helmet, goggles, gloves, and a full suit with a harness. Fourth, be sure to have a plan. Before leaving the ground, ask someone to follow you if something goes wrong. Don't jump alone. Always have another person watching over your back.
