Not all the times but some times. ;) ... Extreme sports are not that much extreme as it seems. Doing regular workout is rather more hardworking activity.

Anything that is extreme makes me feel unsafe and insecurity does not match with my characteristic features. If I am doing something, I gotta feel secure and safe 100%. Otherwise, I am not doing it. So extreme sports are not really for me. It is pretty senseless to me. But this is just my personal idea as I am constantly a safety seeker. :)

Yes, I would like some, but… do you know what’s the major problem with all these extreme sports? These are very expensive sports! I like the idea of mountainboarding, for instance.

I agree with Gorgon – unfortunately this kind of sport is too much expensive for me to enjoy.  But i’d like to try bungee jumping someday ;)

Saladeen, I agree with you that regular  workout is  hard work to get a good result. Some people do it to make their body beautiful, some of them enjoy doing it, and others just hate it, but still do it because they don’t want to be overweight.


As for extreme kinds of sports, they are always a big trial for a person who has a desire to overcome himself. I respect such kind of people, but at the same time, I feel a big fear for them.


As for me, I don’t have the backbone to do it.:)

Mess, I am totally with you. I would never do the action when I  don’t feel safety.


I am a person of “measure thrice and cut once.”

Dianne, for sure to watch is much more pleasant than to jump in the nettle.:)

Gordon, what a really extreme sport  you’d try.:) Riding a dirtboard down hills and mountains is so dangerous but exciting, no doubt.


My husband was a glider pilot, and I had lots of opportunities to sailplane. I watched  his flights  many times and saw how wonderful it was to  be high in the sky next to storks soaring in the air current, but I never decided to do it.:(


It’s really  very expensive, not everybody can affort  it, but the people obsessed by his dream would rather fly than eat. I know  many of them who are not rich  but happy having the  most important thing for them: the dream that came true.
