you know the risks of alpine skiing, don't you? Uncontrolled jump, a ticket for a flight down at 90kmh...probably the end of you.
I wouldn't risk my life nor my body for anything like that, I think I'm more useful alive, even if everybody hates me.
yes i do but if i dedicated my life to this sport why wouldnt i want to go for it. i would never pass up a chance to make my mark on the sport i love. and no it i would think that is survivable if the crazies that race bikes can lay it down and be ok a wipe out is doable maybe in bad shape but still alive and eventually be back to fighting form
Well, would you climb Everest during blizzard periods? It's the same thing. It's very glorifying climbing to the top of the Everest, but doing it in such harsh conditions is practically suicide. In my opinion, if you want to dedicate your life to something, specially a sport, you wouldn't risk dieing for it...
oh well, dieing is just another stage, without minding our involvement with the society, friends and stuff like that, there's nothing to hold me in life, if I die, what should I care about how, I'm dead.
But this isn't sure death, it's "risk for glory", or "be safe", if you risk it you can achieve glory, or death, or for the poor lovely name french girl, without excluding the Austrian one, very ugly injuries.
