Some expert activity, right, like hang-gliding? (7,5)

I believe the answer is:

extreme sport

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'right like hang-gliding?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'some expert activity' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'activity' could be 'sport' (sport is a kind of activity) and 'sport' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'extreme' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for extreme sport that I've seen before include "potentially dangerous activity" , "gladiatorial combat, in a way" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
