When talking about profession athletes, it’s like talking about
superman. I always tend to look at them as if they are invincible and can do
anything. Most the time that is because they are willing to anything,
profession athlete break barriers and set the way for others to follow. Without
these dare devils most sports would be considered safe; however, that is not
the case. People are always pushing themselves to the limits and seeing how far
they can take it, going to the extreme. The risk factor involved with extreme
skiing and snowboarding is like a drug to most out there, they can’t seem to
get enough of it, and once they have concurred one extreme it’s on to the next
extreme out there. In this video several people question whether is the
sponsors that are pushing these extreme athletes to their limits; however, the
wife of Shane McConkey talks about her husband’s experience with extreme skiing and
explains otherwise. In the video she elaborates on the dangers of her husband’s
career and how they often talked about these risks involved, yet he still dared
to continue on with this dangerous lifestyle that in the end took his life.
Although people are blaming the sponsors she states that it was often her
husband that came up with these dangerous ideas, and his sponsor, Red bull,
followed along with it always keeping his safety in mind.
The question still remains though, are people pushing themselves to these extremes just to get famous, or to get a million view of their YouTube video? Well the answer is probably yes. Although they may still do these extreme sports, the media aspect of it is still a big reason why people are doing such extremes. People are often trying to get more money, by doing these dangerous stunts they believe that they will get paid more, and if they don't do it some other professional skier or snowboarder will. In the world of extreme sports it’s a completion between all the athletes to beat the last guy and doing something more eye popping than anyone else would dare do.
