nudge Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 Anyone's a fan? Whether as a participant or just as a spectator. I remember regularly watching the Extreme Sports Channel and the X Games as a kid and loving it; haven't done much myself bar some motocross for fun. Currently love watching downhill mountain biking; those GoPro POV videos are especially fascinating. Try to follow Red Bull's Hardline every year; I love what Red Bull are doing with extreme sports. This is insane...

Haha yeah, it can end really bad... the parts where he's going through thick forest are the most insane for me; imaging going into the trees full speed there But that's part of the thrill... Watch this fella do a backflip over a canyon... Madness

Pretty sure they're well aware of the risks... just like racing drivers, skydivers, BASE jumpers, mountain climbers, snowboarders, sky jumpers, motorbike riders etc. etc. etc. It's dangerous, serious injuries are common and the potential risks are pretty high but the rewards are also immense so it's a fair trade-off for many people.
Azeem Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 I once saw an illegal fight of a wild boar and a hound. That was pretty extreme
