To enjoy your extreme sport, is the risk element necessary?
1- If the risk of extreme sports like motocross and skydiving were somehow drastically reduced to the
point that they were about as dangerous as walking down the street, would they lose their appeal or
would the sensations you get from doing those sports be enough without the added adrenaline rush
that the fear of injury/death provides? (Answer for you personally).
2- What do you think would be a really fun extreme sport that does not yet exist?
1) Well i skateboard and i love the adrenaline rush i get from landing tricks! If it did become safer, i probably would still love it, my friends and i practically live at the skate park, and we have been going there almost everyday together since forever! so just the memories and scars is enough to keep me wanting more…
2) i think if they put some kind of rockets on unicycles and did like speed races or something, it be really cool, (LOL wow that’s random…)
I hate to rain on your parade, but walking down the street is far more dangerous than skydiving or motocross or any other extreme sport. There is more of a perceived risk involved. It really is all about the adrenaline rush just from doing something that is out of the societal norms and pushing the envelope of what a human is capable of doing.
