  • No, but I would like to learn how to surf.
    I've never even seen a person surf in real life being from Canada.
    I kinda think I might like it.
    I can skateboard, I can swim and I can paddle.
    Would that help me any?

    I used to surf and probably still could after a few outings to practice and get my arm strength back.  I wouldn't call it very extreme though.  It's not very risky.  If you fall down, you just fall into the water.  You can't really get hurt.  SCUBA diving is more dangerous and I was a PADI dive instructor for a short time.  It's more dangerous AND more exciting!

  • According to Wikipedia,
    motorcycle racing is an extreme sport and I used to do that.

    No, unless you count caving as an "extreme sport" but cavers don't claim it is. It's a pursuit, not a "sport", anyway.

    I don't really recognise the term "extreme sports" but lets have some fun with it........

    Caving and hill-walking are neither "extreme" nor "sports" unless you an insurance-assessor, as though there are a few specialists, to most of that breed (out of Access by Excel), anything not in the right database cell is uninsurable as:

        potentially fatal  /  bad  /  wrong  /  might harm the foetus  /  non-existent  /  never-heard-of-'ere-Guv  /  implicated in bad humours of the spleen and the common cold  /  frightens us  /  doesn't frighten us but puzzles us  /  takes us effort to learn about it!

    Or unless...

    You work for Sport England (a quango allegedly encouraging public competitive-sports participation) and then anything more physical and game-minded than watching soccer on telly is a Sport so needs:

        a standard pitch  /  development officer  /  deputy-sub-committee to organise committee meetings  /  dedicated parking-places for all the Hon Committee members  /  Governing Body to tell people not to park on the Hon Secretary's reserved place  /  league tables  /  disciplinary hearings (for parking on ....)  /   sponsors' T-shirts  /  audited returns and full risk-assessments for the tea-stall  /  full third-party and life insurance for all members (see above  /  training in safe erection of "Reserved" signs in the Club car-park  /  certificates of competency in polishing balls and making tea  /  director of communications (oh sorry, not a D of C - they are for shy, tongue-tied politicians) / ...  

    errr, is there anyone left actually to perform the pursuits, just for fun?

    The most extreme I do is the gym.  My extreme days are over.

    One knows the feeling... One's own "extreme" used to be one's, well, hardly routine but certainly achievable.
