Shanghai CXG extreme sports network /bbs/index.asp The outdoor clubs in Shanghai are growing gradually. In modern society, outdoor activities have a legendary life, attracting more and more people. Since 2000, outdoor clubs have developed rapidly. Now there are more than ten outdoor clubs in Shanghai, mainly on foot. The popularity of clubs such as Hangkong, Nomads, Wildfire Outdoor and AA57U is on the rise. Ctrip, the largest travel website in China, also has its own outdoor club, and even some media now organize outdoor clubs for readers. There are more than 700 off-road vehicles in Shanghai, including tens of thousands of enthusiasts who don't have cars but participate in off-road vehicles. The largest cross-country club, Extreme Cross-country Club, has more than 2,000 registered members in Shanghai and more than 3,000 members nationwide. There are also "offices" in Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries to organize a fun cross-country race every month. There are 20,000-30,000 people who have participated in paragliding training in China, 7,000-8,000 people in Beijing alone and Shanghai in the south. After the training of Huayin Aviation Club, the only paragliding club with training certification in Shanghai, nearly 4,000 people have experienced paragliding on the ground, more than 2,000 people in Shanghai alone, and nearly 200 people are receiving training, including employees from Hong Kong and the United States in Shanghai. The club also often holds knowledge lectures. Every time I come back from a distant field activity, I have to hold a party. Usually when I choose a restaurant, I will talk while eating. I will review the interesting things in the activity and make a scene. Among these clubs, there are non-commercial clubs with pure self-help and pure AA system, outdoor club companies with formal registration, and clubs with AA system and additional membership fees. Of course, it is also a mixture of selling dog meat and falsely reporting cost arbitrage. People in the industry suggest that enthusiasts who have just come into contact with the outdoors, it is best to choose a formally registered club and get the corresponding formal service. There is a forum on the website of the outdoor club, which is a community where friends are close friends. Everyone who registers for the club forum has a screen name. From the announcement of community activities, the publication of travel notes, the exchange of experience, the publication of pictures, the discussion of problems, the recruitment of friends, the exchange of outdoor equipment, new books, movies and music, there are always several columns in each "jar", and each column has an amateur host "Banzhu". Outdoor lovers chat in it, or call friends to introduce others to travel, or ask for help for a problem. Every time I go out, someone will post photos on the Internet, and there will be comments with different interests. Therefore, the backbone of community activities has long been mixed among everyone. Many outdoor lovers have become friends in life through the internet because of the same hobbies. For outdoor enthusiasts, unfamiliar names are generally not used to saying their own names when they meet, but they are used to using their own screen names to match each other, which weakens their sense of identity. It's hard for you to believe that this girl named "Caicai", dressed in fashion, is quiet and delicate, and often explores the way for everyone in the barren hills, and sleeps soundly on the Internet. Another equally exquisite and beautiful girl is called "Che", who is already a master of off-road vehicles and the captain of the Shanghai women's off-road vehicle team; The fat man who calls himself "braised carp" and the sturdy "iron tower" are all outdoor photographers who want to take pictures of everyone when their teammates climb the blue ... As long as you go to the outdoor club, you will meet many interesting friends. It is not difficult to be a donkey who wades through mountains and rivers. It can be as simple as a pair of sneakers or hiking shoes, a tent and a big backpack. Of course, it is necessary to be armed to the teeth and strive for perfection. The types and prices of equipment can also be bottomless. The cost of being a "flying man" is not high. The training cost is 3000 yuan, which is all inclusive except for meals. After three to five days of intensive training or seven to ten days of intermittent training, you can get the primary (A-level) paragliding certificate recognized by IATA. Under the guidance of the coach, I glided in the air for more than ten hours, about half a year, learned the "disc airflow" and got the B-level certificate of solo flight, without training fees. Many people are eager to buy their own umbrellas, and the whole set of imported umbrellas costs more than 20 thousand yuan. Chen Wenyu advised everyone that it is impossible to glide alone before obtaining a B-class certificate. It is better to rent an umbrella from the club, with a flying hour 100 yuan and a flying day 100 yuan. The cost of joining the ranks of "four-wheel drive brothers and sisters" is not unattainable. According to Lao Liu, the extreme off-road club, the second-hand off-road vehicle only needs 20,000 yuan to start without a license, and the condition of the car with more than 35,000 yuan is quite good. Of course, expensive new cars can reach 700,000 to 800,000. There are many car-free enthusiasts who have participated in off-road vehicle activities, and many people regard off-road vehicles as the first choice for buying cars in the future. Of course, to be a real "outdoor" person, you must have a sense of environmental protection and charity in order to be recognized by your peers. Outdoor goods stores are all over the scale of urban outdoor sports development, which can also be seen from the commercial layout. Seven years ago, there were only a handful of outdoor goods stores. Eight years ago, camping tents, hiking shoes, steam stoves, headlights, ice picks, ice claws and other outdoor products were still rare. Now, when you go to any modern shopping mall and hypermarket in Shanghai, there is an outdoor goods monopoly area, and famous foreign sports equipment brands have settled in. In the large-scale fashion shopping area where Nanjing West Road echoes Huaihai Middle Road, there are also many outdoor specialty stores, and the shopkeepers are mostly outdoor enthusiasts. Shopkeepers such as Bailang, Wilderness, Rock, Homestead and Wildfire are well-known figures in outdoor circles, and even pioneers of outdoor activities in Shanghai. Walking into these small shops is like walking into a club. The walls are covered with photos of the activities they once organized or participated in. On the bookshelf are National Geographic magazine and field survival handbook, and outdoor lovers often sit together. Even if you don't come here to shop, as long as you are interested in outdoor activities, the shopkeeper will have tea and chat with you. These shopkeepers have very professional experience in judging the quality of goods. Outdoor equipment stores such as off-road vehicles and paragliding delta wings need large venues, so they are all located in suburbs such as Minhang, Songjiang and Pudong with convenient transportation. Shopkeepers are also outdoor enthusiasts, and their main purpose is to promote this activity. These shops are also clubs.
