This group is dedicated to Extreme Sports Enthusiasts (ESE) who need people to do stuff with. I want to make someone for everyone readily available throught this group. I may not compete in all the activities out there, but I would be more than happy to organize a group for an outing. Some outings suggested are Mountain Biking, Snowboarding, Drag Racing, Road Racing, Motorsports, Snowmobiling, Scuba Diving, I guess you get the idea. I will try to keep most meetups within 100 mile range from the border of Westchester/Putnam Counties. Sometimes we may need to go further for the Best in Extreme. Once I get an idea from members and three additional members "like" the idea, I will set up a meetup for it. Just ask!

An extreme sport (also called action sport and adventure sport) is a popular term for certain activities perceived as having a high level of inherent danger,[1][2][3] and that are counter-cultural. These activities often involve speed, height, a high level of physical exertion, and highly specialized gear or spectacular stunts

A feature of such activities in the view of some is their alleged capacity to induce an adrenaline rush in participants.[16] However, the medical view is that the rush or high associated with the activity is not due to adrenaline being released as a response to fear, but due to increased levels of dopamine, endorphins and serotonin because of the high level of physical exertion.[citation needed] Furthermore, a recent study suggests that the link to adrenaline and 'true' extreme sports is tentative.[17] The study defined 'true' extreme sports as a leisure or recreation activity where the most likely outcome of a mismanaged accident or mistake was death. This definition was designed to separate the marketing hype from the activity. Another characteristic of activities so labeled is they tend to be individual rather than team sports. Extreme sports can include both competitive and non-competitive activities.
