Jack London’s quote “The proper function of man is to live, not exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.” means that people should live life to the fullest make waves don’t just sit around make a difference in the world. His analysis is that people have to live in this world and that we should not waste our time trying to prolong them because the end will eventually come. Extreme sports are sports or activities that are called extreme by people who think they are extremely dangerous. Extreme sports give an adrenaline rush to everybody, but according to the article, “Camp for Kids with Autism Offers Extreme Therapy”, states that “...it’s overload times 20, or times 100.” (2)The point of the camp is take kids who have autism

As humans, we are compelled to take risks, even when the privilege is unavailable. Without a proper role model in life, for example parents, being inept, we go out in daily life and venture, and with venturing risks are involved. This is what Zlatan Ibrahimović a world-famous soccer player, and Chris McCandless, the main character of Into the Wild, by Jon Krakauer went through in life, a proper role model was not present. The men in riding giants a documentary by Stacy Peralta, like Greg Noll, just left everything behind back at home to experiment with their lives by surfing. Nobody stopped any of them from going, because nobody cared enough. Getting out there every day in the water was a risk of losing their lives. Zlatan, Chris, and Greg

There are multiple explanations why I think camping is thrilling. First, I am provided exercise. Hiking is a wonderful way to stay active. Because of the countless health benefits, such as muscle development, increased endurance, and reduced body fat, it is enjoyable. The fresh air clears my mind, making any morning stroll pleasant. Swimming is a terrific option to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The variety of strokes, including freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, and butterfly, brings joy and excitement. On July 15, 2015, my siblings, Cassidy and Ethan, and I swam in the crystal clear waters of Lake Fairfax. The water splashing was rejuvenating. In

As quoted in Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild, “The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure.” Adventure is what takes you outside of your comfort zone. It’s what sets us apart from every other species. Unlike any other animal, we can enjoy partaking in adrenaline-inducing activities that no other animal has the consciousness for. Adventure is exhilarating and spirit-magnifying. It’s is the essence of what it means to feel alive. Adventure to me is about finding excitement and giving our lives flavor. Without adventure, I think my life would be rather mundane. There is little thrill in safety and conformity. I think it’s extremely healthy and even necessary for the human spirit to not always feel assured

According to Warrick Wood of Psychology Today, “Fun activities have a positive impact on preparation, and eventually performance.” Studies show that just focusing on winning and not having fun in sports results in overuse injuries, stress, quitting, anxiety, and low confidence. Winning is great, but having fun in sports is more important and has many benefits as well.

How do some people participate in extreme sports? Aren’t they scared of what could happen to them? They could hurt themselves very badly or maybe even kill themselves. Then again most people love to do crazy things. So the people like Geoffrey Robson from “ A Solemn Warning to Wingsuit Flyers”, do what they love not for anyone else but themselves. People are facing these simple obstacles, and instead of overcoming them and taking a step forward they take two steps back.

Sports is known to have a multitude of psychosomatic effects on our physical and mental being, all the way from reducing stress, muscular anxiety to improving positive thoughts, confidence and giving you a toned body. It also has the added bonus of harvesting a sense of accomplishment and adventure in our lives. Since all of us can’t be NFL, Giants or Patriots material, we can use the primitive tools to invest in our metal and physical health by engaging in sports as fitness routines. Depending on your current physical state, location and time, you can always schedule one on one, or team gatherings to participate in out-door sports for quality down time.

Taking risks are important to life. Even though there is a chance that something may happen, a good thing will come out of it. Risks are important because you can learn a lesson and change others way of thinking.

Every opportunity contains risks – a life without risk is a life without opportunities, often without quality and without change.

A study was conducted by the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness in order to determine the physiological and functional changes caused generally by motocross racing. Tests

For some people, sports and other activities are seen as essential for children to participate in. In certain cases, parents may tend to push their children into a ridiculous amount of activities leading to different effects on the children. For other parents, their children’s involvement in activities is very important, but rather than pushing their children, they encourage them to try new things. With this encouragement, these parents see having fun as the number one reason for activities rather than competition. In the article, “Kids’ Sports: Too Much Pressure,” Amy Miller suggest that making an activity or sport seem too competitive could have a huge number of effects on a child and that having fun should be what all sports and activities

I would not agree with this because, life's an ultimate risk.”Life is inherently risky”-(Denis Waitley) .There is only one big risk you should avoid at all cost, and that is the risk of doing nothing”. Don’t do nothing , start your success off right with doing the things you love.” If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.”-(Jim Rohn)

Every day humans are faced with dangerous events or objects: natural disasters, athletics, animals, and even other people. To some extent, people cannot control their environment, but some people purposefully put themselves in dangerous situations for the thrill. “Nothing beats the feeling of just hanging on to a snorting pissed off bull”, states professional bull rider Garret Wall (Dean). What does it feel like to get thrown from an angry 1,500 LB bull? Why do cowboys willingly mount up and put themselves in obvious danger? Shane Procter, professional PBR bull rider, finds freedom in riding and the adrenaline that follows.

Being adventurous is how you start to understand who you really are. Many people believe it is dangerous to travel, not worth it. But I believe, the world is dangerous. There are shootings everyday but getting out there and risking it is just living. Being adventurous shows you how others have to live, what so many people deal with every day. Or what so many people get to see every day, the beautiful yet cruel world we live in. There is a purpose for everything here, it is meant to be seen. We are not here to work everyday and then go home to rest and do it all over again, we were made to make a difference and to understand the world. Mountains were made to climb, oceans were made to be seen, and landmarks were too, “in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a
