Julian Werner replied to Travis H.'s discussion Are Extreme Sports Manly?"I am a skteboarder and don't do any other sports, so I only can speak for skateboarding as an extreme sport. I think it is manly, but not because you stand on the board and do some stupid tricks. It is manly because you try it as often until…"
Rory Ivanoff replied to Travis H.'s discussion Are Extreme Sports Manly?"I am inclined to agree that it is a question of attitude, focus, & the overall purpose of the "extreme" sport.
To me, crushing your opponent is nowhere near as manly as competing against yourself, and seeing what you are REALLY made…"

The Dutch Dastard replied to Travis H.'s discussion Are Extreme Sports Manly?"Interesting. There has been a discussion like that before, and the general idea is that it is REALLY hard to define.

Travis H. replied to Travis H.'s discussion Are Extreme Sports Manly?"It seems like the consensus so far is that it's not what you do but rather how you do it, or the attitude you have while doing a particular "Extreme sport". I really like what Loki said about an individual's character in…"

The Dutch Dastard replied to Travis H.'s discussion Are Extreme Sports Manly?"The trust, skill and teamwork involved in rally racing is EXTREMELY manly!"
Charlie replied to Travis H.'s discussion Are Extreme Sports Manly?"I think Rally racing would be a great example of skill and technical difficulty over danger. Sure there are crazy wrecks, but the driver is so restrained that they rarely get injured. It also involves a lot of trust. There is…"

Josh replied to Travis H.'s discussion Are Extreme Sports Manly?"Any sport can be manly, with all the overcoming challenge and such, but the culture surrounding extreme sports makes me want to put my face through a wall. I love snowboarding. I hate snowboarders."
Native Son replied to Travis H.'s discussion Are Extreme Sports Manly?"Well, at least you've endeavored to define your terms.
Unfortunately, the practioners of some of your sports seem to put a premium on either extreme stupidity or extreme ignorance of their abilites.
