Team Tamarack Mountain Bike Racing World Resouces

Which of the Action/Extreme sports…?

…do you find most impressive?? Visually and tecnhically. This includes surfing, skateboarding, bmx, rollerblading, snowboarding and mountain biking.
I ride Flatland BMX, which gets very little coverage or exposure, yet it requires so much balance, and is probably the most technical of all of them. It’s so awesome to see the Pro’s linking trick after trick together in a big combo, putting the bike in all kinds of positions, even upside-down, while they remain upright. Most people who I tell that I ride Flatland, they say they’ve never heard of it.
For every 1 bmx magazine on the shelves, there are 5 skateboard magazines. more people skate than bmx, because it’s easier..??
Whats YOUR opinion on the most impressive Action/Extreme sport..??

yeah i ride street/park bmx and i skate and downhill a little and i think that bmx is a pretty physicaly demanding sport, like you have to lift the bike into the air(mines pretty heavy) and to keep balance on ledges and rails is really hard.
but there all pretty amazing to watch and they are all hard as well.
but the most entertaining one for me to watch is freestyle motoX
they do like nohanded backflips then land nohands and ride off and they do it all on 200pound bikes
so i reckon freestyle motocross is the most impressive

p.s
can i have best answer
