Yeah, you are right. There is nothing extreme about this[^] or any of these videos[^]. Dude, you seem ignorant about extreme sports as bicycles have been at its core since the begining. Watch a few seconds of X-Games and the BMX events. (Not to seem too dismissive eh :P )

A GT Avalanche[^] mountainbike. More suitable for everyday riding here in Ireland where the roads are rougher than a boar-in-heat's back. I want a good racer for weekend rides though.

Nice bike :) I have a trek 4300 MTB, but find that I use it on good roads 90% of the time... Thats why I wanted the racer :) -- modified at 7:19 Wednesday 23rd August, 2006

Different bike to the one posted about. That was a road bike not a BMX bike. BMX is totally different and I watch it, and other extreme sports with a lot of admiration for the fearlessness and agility they require.

Tillykke ! I've got a Ghost 5100 htx MTB myself - and although Denmarks is relatively flat, there's still hills in the woods that I cannot climb. So lots of challenges. Fat_boy: downhill may be extreme, but try going uphill for once :)

Do you know why it's important to make fast decisions? Because you give yourself more time to correct your mistakes, when you find out that you made the wrong one. Chris Meech on deciding whether to go to his daughters graduation or a Neil Young concert

Well, I'm from Sweden and I can tell you we learn very early in school that "Himmelsbjerget" (Heavens mountain) is the highest hill in Denmark. And if you go there you see all of Denmark :-D

I cant see how anyone could get excited about one.

I love biking, for so many reasons. It's nice to have to world go by slowly sometimes, to turn the bend and see a family of deer grazing, or have a squirrel run along besides me for a minute--biking in the country is great! It's exhiliarating to be doing 40 MPH down the hills (in a 30 MPH zone, no less). It's fantastic exercise. I quickly become disconnected from the daily troubles of life and enjoy the feel of doing something that feels really freeing but also requires a lot of willpower. Marc

Well then go place yourself near a corner at the bottom of a steep hill during a road race and come back and tell me the chaps aren't a bit nuts in the head. Better yet, get on a racer and go down a hill at 60+kph in a pack of riders with a long sweeping corner half-way down when all you are wearing is a few millimeters-thick cloth and some styrofoam stuck to your head. No leathers, no knee guards or full-face helmets, just you and lots of skin flaying tar. I've skiied and I have cycled and both can get pretty hairy.

I've got a new "GI" for my jiu-jitsu training :-D (which is the (mostly white) suit you wear) Is that extreme enough. ;-) PS: I can recommand combat sports (preferably full contact) to couples. You can work out you're differences on the tatami. PPS: Yes, this really works :-D.

I've found a living worth working for, but I haven't found work worth living for. :beer:
