X-treme Sports
Why do people risk?
I’ve never done extreme sports and never really intended to, I
have some friends who are very fond and interested in them though. I
was always wondering what it is that makes people regularly risk their
own lives for a short adrenalin buzz, so I interviewed a few people on
their opinions on extreme sports.
The first person I talked to about it was my friend Peter. Here’s
what he said:
‘Personally I don’t understand why they do it. Maybe it’s like
a drug, they do it for the first time just because some of their friends
said it was great and then end up being addicted to it. The more they
do them the more they want to do it again. Or probably they start do-
ing it because they want to show how strong and courageous they are
and then end up liking it and as I’ve said before become addicted. I’d
never try anything like that, I’m addicted to safety.’
I was having a conversation with a girl called Anna the other
day. What she said was this:
‘I’m just dying to do BASE-jumping. All my friends do it. It’s
a relatively new sport, base is an acronym for building, antenna, span
(bridge) and earth (cliffs). Jumpers leap from stationery objects and
deploy a parachute. Unlike skydiving, no aircraft is involved. They’ve
said it’s a feeling nothing can be compared to, in a short period of time
