The world of extre­me sports is also one of big busi­ness. Kids might think that snow­boar­ding is the ulti­ma­te free­dom, but this free­dom is being mar­ke­ted to them.

The­re are kids who get on a BMX bike when they’­re eight years old and they go, ‘Whoa, this is incredi­ble,’ and grow up to do extre­me sports. It’s the same for me

-Joseph Pegram

I’m rive­ted by extre­me sports like big-wave sur­fing, ‘mega­ramp’ skate­boar­ding and half-pipe snow­boar­ding. I’m fasci­na­ted part­ly becau­se the sports are so exhilara­tin­g­ly acrobatic.
