Danger, excitement, confidence. Extreme sports bump your life up to the next level. Unsurprisingly, extreme sports fans love to come up with crazier and crazier ideas every year – as if base jumping and urban exploring weren’t mad enough already (remember this viral video that got everyone’s palms sweating?). It seems hanging off sky scrapers is young person’s game, with the 18-24 demographic leading the way in participation in extreme sports.
