2014Extreme Sports - First Day Cover

The practitioners of extreme sports are not afraid of dying. They are afraid of not living. By pushing limits and confronting dangers they feel reborn. Risks are taken for a variety of reasons: to get away from stress or one’s routine, a taste for adventure, fascination with nature. “Adrenalin addiction” explains the rest. Whatever the reason, extreme sports continue to gain more and more fans. Balancing on giant waves, cycling through difficult terrain, or whirling on the asphalt: surfing, mountain biking and skating are the sports that inaugurate this definitive issue dedicated to Extreme Sports.
