'X' sports

The lifecycle of an Extreme sport is a mystery to me.

There was a time, when riding a bicycle on a unpaved surface, was seen as an Extreme sport.

Now, every Tom, Dick and Harry has a bike which can perform such a task, and most folk who perform the utilitarian task of commuting by bike, use such a bike.

What I don't understand is how a sport becomes extreme in the first place, and then without any change in the physical activity, it becomes 'non-extreme' and then mainstream.

This extremeness, managed to cross over into non sporting activities, such as extreme ironing. To further confuse matters, the act of extreme ironing then claimed to be a sport, and as such a World Championships occurred.

I suspect that our friends in the Marketing world have something to do with the lifestyle of 'X' sports.

  1. 'riding a bicycle on an unpaved surface' has never been considered an extreme sport, extreme ironing was a joke and you are a fucking idiot
