The first man said he had started riding BMX when he was five. His parents had hated it because they said it was dangerous. So when he was sixteen he had done other sports like tennis and football but he loved danger. At twenty years he had gone back to biking and the first times he had lots of injuries, like broken bones, cuts and bruises and had cracked a hip. He said he loved the adrenaline rush and that there was nothing like that feeling. The second person, a girl said her parents had given her a pair of rollerskates. When she was sixteen she had started competing, she had just loved that sport. She hated guys who said girls couldn't do things . She wanted to show girls could do everything they wanted do, but she had a sprained knee and had to stop for six weeks. The third boy said he had started training four years ago. He said it was really important the sport for him. The trial of danger stopped time .In the air he really felt alive and added that adrenaline rush was very exciting; one couldn't know it until he tried. He said he never had injuries however and his mum didn't like it at all. She went to the shows but never watched him jump. The last girl said she had started surfing when she was fifteen in Australia. Her parents had been worried because they thought that surfing was dangerous but she found danger thrilling. She had started riding waves every day after school at the beach near her house and her parents had finally agreed that surfing was ok for girls. Then they found it exciting too. She thought that if one, growing up, did something he loved he would become a happy person
