X-Treme sports

[Frenchy]

We have all heard of Extreme sports, you know, the sports most people can only imagine happening, but would never in a thousand years consider themselves doing.

I some times wonder about these sports, I mean we all jumped a hump of dirt with our bikes as kids. We all made a ramp and jumped it a foot off the ground, but some of these people are taking our foot and making it seem so small as to even neglect.

Some sports are some what attainable for the average person, they may not be winners at the sport, but they can at least practice it, I am thinking like USPSA or IDPA. Might take you 20 minutes, but you can come out saying you tried it. Right?

But just how many people would try this new Extreme sport?

Wow, that is pure insanity.

I can only imagine how cold that water is.

In one video I watched, you can see the Ice blocks floating on the water, makes the water look like a shallow river.
Some how, in my wildest dreams I cant see my self doing that even if the water was free of ice. The mere thought that miss by a foot and you could come out dead under tons and tons of ice is just a bit too much to immagine for me.

Damn. Thats silly.

When you have to go to that extreme to entertain yourself, just put a bullet in your head. Its all over.

Check out the great Dan Osman.

Man i am so scared of heights, I was having trouble watching this! You know when you get that cramped feeling in your back and you feel like your eyes are poping out!

Great video, that monkey looked a lot like a man!

Yeah, definitely. You'd have to have a death wish to do something like this.

Quite the opposite!

That is a man who wants to enjoy LIFE! Everyone has something that gives them a little rush. Some people it's shooting the perfect set at CMP or IDPA. Others it's catching that huge bass. I personally love riding the motorcycle, especially the tight turns. This is a person who has found his rush, examined the risks involved, and successfully pulled off this stunt without the use of his safety. I think that means he has his head screwed on straight.

I guess you're right. It's still insane, though.
