I’m not an extreme sport passionate and when I’m looking at these photos I’m wondering what these people have in mind? Surely nothing related to safety. For example, take a look at the free climbing guys. They are at a dizzy height, with one step closer to an awful death but they still stop and take pictures. They are incredible!

By the way…bodysurfing? That’s crazy.
