REPORTER First of all, what are urban sports?

JON Activities like skateboarding, BMX biking, scootering and

parkour (free running).

REPORTER Who does them?

JON Teenagers and people in their 20s, mainly. Most people

who do urban sports want to have fun with their friends and do

something active.

REPORTER Where do they practise?

JON Anywhere! You don't need any special facilities for urban

sports. You can jump or skateboard over walls, and cycle down

steps. Every city has these things- and they're free!

REPORTER Do you need any special equipment?

JON Depending on the sport, you need a skateboard, BMX bike or

scooter and a helmet. Parkour is the only urban sport that you can

do without any equipment.

REPORTER What do you wear?

JON We wear jeans or shorts, aT-shirt and trainers!

• REPORTER Are urban sports dangerous?

JON That depends. Accidents happen when people try to

do dangerous things. It's important to know what you can-

. and can't- do.

REPORTER Are there urban sport competitions?

JON Yes, there are.

REPORTER Do girls do urban sports?

JON Yes! Lots of girls are getting

interested in them now. They are D j0 Y0 J K 0
