the rankings on sports like freestyle skiing will most likely always be off becuase the people who do the ranking and shit do not actually freestyle ski or have gone to a mountain and seen it. the risk we take is enormous, thats really was people need to realize.

Also no freerunning, which would prolly win hands down. just like freeskiing but you land on concrete and need larger muscles.

i kind of question these results just because the top 10 is made up of almost exclusively the biggest sports that bring in the biggest money. Not saying that these sports aren't difficult, but i feel there's got to be more unpopular sports that are just as difficult

Those rankings make as much sense as a screendoor on a submarine.

freeskiing should be number 5 at least. try throwing a switch dub 12, or pretzeling a 5 kink urban rail, or dropping a massive cliff

i think it is remarkable that a 13 year old sport made 25, i know the list isn't fair at all, but i would like to see you compile this list.

i think they couched this category into more PC terms by calling it "nerve", and if you follow the list, alpine skiing and ski jumping are in the top 5 along with bull riding, auto racing and boxing

my balls always feel pretty heavy when i stomp any cliff bigger than 20-30ft, so that would seem accurate

That list is bullshit, Tennis is higher than rugby and water polo. And wresting should be at the top, those guys are fucking tough.
