Concept information
Preferred term
sports media: extreme sports and masculinity
Definition
- Extreme sports is a catchphrase for a range of activities that tend to share a high degree of risk taking, a celebration of style and flair, a desire to push limits, and a carefully cultivated sense of “outsider” status. While any attempt to catalog extreme sports (also known as lifestyle sports) would inevitably be open to debate, some of the more traditional extreme sports include mountain biking, snowboarding, bungee jumping, skydiving, ski jumping, ultra marathons, ultimate fighting (or mixed martial arts), and aggressive forms of skateboarding, inline skating, and climbing.
