What Is Extreme Sport Not About Risk Taking

Rest in peace Robson for jumping off like a smart man . The issue of extreme sports has different points of view, however i believe extreme sports should only be in mind for people who wish to do them. These so called “risk takers” aren't really risk takers. They do it for the fun, the feeling that you get after doing something you've been wanting to do for a while is probably one of the best feelings you could ever feel.

In “The Science Of Thrill Seeking,” by Jennifer Digman, that kids who participate in extreme sports

The article “Why We Play” by Eva Holland is about the risks sports players face while playing the sport they love. They know of these risks, and accept that they might one day have to go through something hard. She starts out the article with a story about a rugby player that she knew. His neck was broken in an incident on the field, and he was paralyzed from the shoulders down. After this incident she heard two common phrases: “He was so young. He was only 20 years old” and “He was doing what he loved.” These phrases that she heard often at that time started to make her think. Was playing a sport really worth all of the risks involved with it? Her answer was simple, yes it is.

A point of disagreement among many parents of children who play competitive sports is if the benefits outweigh the risk of injury. It is clear that competitive sports aren’t worth the risks, with high mental costs to send a child where they would be pressured to not let down the team, and when all it takes is a hit to the head to sustain life-changing injuries.

They say bull riding is the most dangerous sport on dirt. In a lot of ways they are right a lot of people are injured and even killed. In bull riding they say its not if you get hurt its when and how bad. Bull riding has been around for a long time for a few hundred years. Bull riding is an exciting and an adrenaline pumping sport because of the history of bull riding, the way you are scored, and the safety of the rider and the bull.

particularly dangerous. But he doesn’t describe the many sports that are much less dangerous, or

The risks daredevils take keep people fascinated. People believe that if something is claimed to be impossible. That they can't try it. In the article it says, "We thought daredevils were gone -- too much science had reduced them to the predictable" (Jenkins). The risks daredevils take is supposed to show that odds can be beat. Although daredevils are supposed to change science, they can die by the risks they face. They want to show the world what humans can do without limitations.

Extreme sports is a physical sport with a very hard or dangerous task. A few examples of extreme sports are snowboarding, base jumping, skydiving, and skateboarding. Extreme sports are so extreme because the dangerous tasks they must do involve speed, height, and a massive amount of physical effort. My opinion on extreme sports is that they aren't good. These professions might look cool on tv, but put any peoples live at risk.

Despite all these sports being dangerous, the audience had a rush and really enjoyed watching these

In conclusion, athletes damage their body for their own tranquility. In an odd, profound way, it is their very own peace. At the end of the day, they know they are killing themselves for an award. Whether it is a physical reward, or just an emotional reward they have a goal to achieve. Even though the outcome can be very brutal and what may seem very irrational. Athletes push their body because to them, the best results is when they reach their goal of

if it track then that’s a whole different story. dangerous sports can easily kill you. extreme sports were really meant for risk takers people that do all kinds of new sports they like to try new things that try to kill them. the way i see it they are just trying to find different way to kill themselves how do people not get scared from doing this i’m saying that i think they take like pills or something. and another thing is that what's so good about these sports what do people get out of this i don’t see how this works. People just need to get there head in the real world.

Every day humans are faced with dangerous events or objects: natural disasters, athletics, animals, and even other people. To some extent, people cannot control their environment, but some people purposefully put themselves in dangerous situations for the thrill. “Nothing beats the feeling of just hanging on to a snorting pissed off bull”, states professional bull rider Garret Wall (Dean). What does it feel like to get thrown from an angry 1,500 LB bull? Why do cowboys willingly mount up and put themselves in obvious danger? Shane Procter, professional PBR bull rider, finds freedom in riding and the adrenaline that follows.

Everyone has an achievement, an end goal, they wish to accomplish during their lifetime. The fortunate have found their passion and will pursue it as long as they live. For some, the passion which they wish to pursue is a risky one, full of danger and chance. However terrifying it may be to the general population, these dare-devils charge their goals anyway, risking life and limb to accomplish their dreams. This begs the question at hand, is a risky life passion worth pursuing if death seems probable? The answer is, without the slightest hesitation, yes. Take, for instance, the 42 year old by the name of Bruce Eric Matthews. Bruce had an obsession with kiteboarding, an extreme sport that involves a kite towing the surfer. He recently died because of excessive wind gusts on the day of a tournament. (Leiker 1). However unfortunate it may be, Eric died doing what he loved. For him, a life without kiteboarding was not worth living.

Excessive survivalism is a sport in when athletes are obsessed with winning and will do anything to achieve that goal of winning. Players will find ways to bend the rules or cheat just to achieve the victory over their opponent. The need to win games will overrule the player’s morals and beliefs as a person. This is a huge problem athletes face when it comes to sports. They become so obsessed with winning that it becomes the only objective they focus on. Some athletes even put their health at risk. In some cases athletes will sustain an injury and will not let the team know so they can take the proper protocol just so they can they can stay in the game. In other cases, a player may do something that is considered dirty or against the rules just to get the edge over their opponent, and that might not be how the player is as a person outside of their sport but when it comes to the game they will do anything they need to do survive and win.

Cue the sad soundtrack, get the tissues out, because it’s going to get emotional up in here for those who are unaware of the harsh consequences when it comes to playing high-contact sports. Many people know the names of these deadly diseases that end up killing off the beloved athletes around the world, but not everyone knows why more and more athletes are dying at such a young age with diseases such as ALS, Dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Huntington’s. No one can seem to make the ties and connections to why these once perfectly sane athletes are doing some very drastic things like causing fiascos in public, or committing suicide. The little help the sports world is trying to do isn’t enough to save these young athletes from receiving
