Hmmm... at Doctor
Danger we recognise that there is much more to life
than being sensible. In order to live life you've
got to er... live life, and for us that means we've
got to let our hair down from time to time, do some
stupid things and have some fun.
We have found that
participating in dangerous sports and putting your
life at risk is in no way an intelligent or a sensible
thing to do, however it most certainly makes us feel
alive, and whew-boy is it fun!
The purpose of this
site isn't to encourage you to become involved in
dangerous sports (that's a decision you'll have to
make entirely on your own), however if you are mad
keen on trying dangerous sports, you may find some
of the information in our site useful because it's
from our own personal experiences. While some of the
other extreme sports websites report on dangerous
sports and activities from the sidelines, we actively
participate, then report on things in an unbiased
way. We'll provide information on how we got involved
in the sport (which covers everything from purchasing
and or building the equipment required), we'll list
organisations that assisted us, we'll report on our
successes and failures (our failures can be spectacular),
and we'll keep you updated on what we learned along
the way.
We have met a lot
of great people through the various dangerous activities
we've been involved in, and I'm constantly amazed
at the camaraderie amongst the fellow participants.
Perhaps the best example I can think to demonstrate
this sense of camaraderie is with 'Running with the
Bulls in Pamplona'. There in instances where a runner
has been injured, fallen or trapped against the wall
by a bull, it is common for other runners to put their
own lives at risk as they try to 'distract' the bulls
attention so that others can free the defenseless
runner. That for me is what it is all about and that
is the sort of spirit which is sadly lacking in the
world of professional sports.
Well, that's my
bit done with, I hope you like the site. Oh, and if
you'd like to submit any info, photos, comments whatever,
just send us an e-mail any old time.
Good luck
Your editor....
