Extremely Extreme Sports.

You guys have got to see this- these guys are absolutely fearless! My heart has still not stopped racing 10 mins after watching it. Perhaps it's not a good idea to watch this if you suffer from a heart condition Or maybe it's just me being a woos.
Honestly, how do their families cope with this?!

Watch it here, goes for about 4 mins.

Ten years ago I went for a tandem sky dive in order to conquer my problem with heights. It didn't work, if anything it made my irrational fear worse. It is odd that I am quite happy to push the limits on a motorcycle (legally of course).

Great video!

I came to realise that it's not their fault they do these crazy things- they suffer from an over supply of testosterone.

...And that made me think
Sometimes my head hurts

So I went looking for more information and I came across this article by "Big Think.com". And surprise, it now appears having too little could give the same results (risk taking).

I love this bit..

people who sit in more expansive poses, taking up more space, have increased testosterone levels and feel more powerful as compared to those who sit in more contracted, closed postured.
For a single woman looking for her Mr Right, it could surely make looking for a macho man a piece of cake or for some, a wide berth.
