An international array of authors, including some prominent extreme
athletes like Jake Burton and Arlo Eisenberg, look at a variety of
issues and concerns within the new action extreme sports that are
gaining popularity throughout the world. For each sport, an
interpretation is presented through two essays: one written by a
scholar active in some aspect of research for the given activity,
and another by a practitioner/ athlete who writes "from the inside
out." The juxtaposed essays confront questions about the essence of
sport such as, What is sport?; How does it originate?; and What is
its use, value, and function? This book offers a fascinating look
at how twentieth and twenty-first century sport forms emerge,
proliferate, and take hold in a sport-crazy world.
