Living on the Edge: USA Science & Engineering Festival Expo Takes You Inside the Science of Extreme Sports With Daring Athletes!

By carlyo on January 30, 2014.

Maya GabeiraNo doubt, extreme sports – ranging from competitive big-wave surfing and downhill skiing to the rigors of the Ironman Triathlon – represent some of the most challenging, intense and risky undertakings around. Get ready for a behind-the-scenes look this April at how some of the world’s most daring X-athletes use principles of science to achieve their amazing feats that leave us in awe! In an interactive presentation, sports legends from the ZOZI Guru™ team –including Chris Lieto, three-time Ironman Triathlon champion; extreme surfing champion Maya Gabeira and Tao Berman, rated by Sports Illustrated as “ the best kayaker on the planet” -- will show you how it’s done!
