What kind of high adrenaline sports do yall partake in?
I just got back from doing some 160 foot free fall thing at an amusement/adventure park here in Dallas. It was pretty fresh, dropping 160 feet was most certainly an adrenaline rush.
I don’t mind those kind of sports…more power to those who do them, but I fucking hate the word EXTREME!!!

I am extremely sorry about that 
I can’t stand the word moist. It makes me want to vomit more than anything in the world
You’re right…that is also a bad word.
Though the only thing worse than the word “extreme” is “X-Treme”
As I said… I have nothing against the sports…I’d just rather call them what they are…like base jumping or motocross or bangin’ Kerley or whatnot.
I don’t know if it’s an “extreme sport” or not, but I’m a whitewater junky.
There’s a sequence of pics in my profile of a raft trip where we flipped in Class IV/V water. Wicked fun.

The only way I will accept ‘xtreme’ as a real word is in reference to the show ‘xtreme 4x4’. Any place else and it just doesn’t exist.

That’s fresh to def! Where do you mainly do your rafting? I canoed down the Illinois river with some friends finals week and it was the bomb. There were no sweet rapids like that, but there were a ton of cliffs to jump off.

New England rivers mostly, only because it’s right in my back yard.

A week later, a man (a doctor) died right in that area after a flip. It was the day before his daughters wedding and the men went out on a rafting trip. I believe it was cardiac arrest (vs drowning) that killed him.

Now THAT, sadly, is indeed extreme.
urban kayaking and urban snowboarding are two of my favorites
