Reckless & Extreme

If there's a category for Advocacy & Safety shouldn't there be a category for Reckless & Extreme also? Just sayin'. 'Cause sometimes safety is overrated and not fun.

Not that I disagree, but that could be a lawsuit waiting to happen. You can't stop every single cyclist out there from being reckless, but actively encouraging them to endanger their lives - and the lives of others - may be a different matter.

while most of us have been reckless and extreme a time or two in our lives... it is not something one should go about trying to promote, folks do enough stupid crap on their own.

Those rants are against being reckless and extreme. I think you misunderstand the OP. He wants a forum that's pro reckless and extreme.

I guess I posted this is the wrong area. But, don't you guys like to let loose once in a while and just have fun? Say "screw it" and have some balls? Or is that of no value anymore?

And Keyven, I'm not suggesting that we endanger anybody's life. But hey, sky diving, base jumping, etc. There's a certain risk in everything... and a certain reward.

I-Like-To-Bike, you're an optimist aren't you?

Rollfast, I can be happy with that I guess.

There are already subforums for the reckless and extreme, like Mountain Biking, Track Racing, and Politics & Religion...

Reckless n extreme? That would be my mountain biking. It's not a ride until someone is bleeding.

They tried to put a Fixed Gear Free Style forum in but it is a wasteland.

That's what I'm talking about! Not sure my wife would embrace that idea though.
