Why do people like extreme skiing?

Answer 1

Okay, well based on the basic ideas of "extreme sports" you're looking at anything that has a high level of inherent danger. These activities often include speed, height, a high level of physical exertion, and highly specialized gear along with lovely tricks which look nifty, but are HARD. I'm going to go out on a limb and lay out some ideas for you as to why Snowboarding fits this category by explaining the sport using each of the components that I listed above: When you snowboard, if you are good you generally are not in a "pansy area" (as I call them). You're in the mountains, riding free with mother nature in trails that were laid out for you by the kind folks at the ski patrol and the administration of those that control the mountain in question (AKA Resort owners/planners). Now, when snowboarding under normal conditions, you're in enough danger, because lets face it, both of your feet are strapped onto one long piece of fibreglass and metal that you paid like, or whatever the heck your snowboard is made of (regardless of what it is made of, you probably still paid like, a billion dollars for it. Snowboarding is NOT for the cheap), rendering them (your feet) immobile. Not being able to move your feet can be unfortunate when you get stuck in an instance where having 2 feet might come in handy. In addition to having your feet forced into a stationary position on a board, you are often going very fast on this board. You have to be hella good at navigating to avoid nature and the trees and rocks and stumps that she may throw at you, often disguised in a while blanket of snow, causing them to look similar to EVERYTHING ELSE. In addition, you may be one of the few lovely characters who partake in showing off on your board by jumping jumps, railing rails, or slaying boxes. Also in this extreme category of showing off comes the ideas of "glading" (going into the trees, and not running into them), and jumping off of cliffs while still attached to said-snowboard. Another risk that you face is that of AVELANCHES. These things are scary, and getting caught in one of them is NOT FUN.

Please note that in order to be any good at snowboarding, you have to be in good shape. I know people who have been doing it for years and still have their abs killing the day after their first runs of the season. Snowboarding doesn't really seem like it would be that bad, because pros make it look so effortless, but it really takes a toll on your body.

And that just about covers everything in a summary of the details. Because if I went REALLY in depth, you'd be reading until you're 95.
