Extreme sports!!!

Most of us like some sort of sport.
We may not be active participants , but we all like to see other humans compete ,excel and perform.

I am particularly interested in this new " genre " of sport called extreme sports.
I am genuinely awed and amazed when I see people effortlessly perform these gravity & death defying,acrobatic feats , almost as if their equipment , whether a bike , vehicle , surfboard or whatever become part of their bodies, and do as they command.

Once the trademark of rebellious subcultures, extreme sports now seem to be mainstream, with corporate sponsors willing to throw tremendous amounts of money behind it.

Names like Red Bull , Monster are synonymous with promoting these type of events , for obvious reasons ,lol, extreme sport athletes are adrenaline junkies. They live on the edge , just for the thrill.
They are not afraid of serious injury or death.
[ Better them than me , ha ha! ]

Here's one of my favourite extreme sport compilation vids.

Here's my list of favourite extreme sports;

Base Jumping
Parkour
Surfing
Free Climbing
Wingsuit Flying
And much more.

There's one I particularly like, really crazy and dangerous, not really an extreme sport, but extreme nevertheless.
Its the running of the bulls in Pampalona , Spain.

So what's on your " favourites " list of extreme sport?
Which one do you like to see most?
Have you ever been to any of those events?
