Extreme sports are nothing new for '60s generation
by Lucia Hrusovska

These days, sports are very important and means really much for population and especially for young people. Exercise during playing football, basketball, tennis, snowboarding and many other kinds of sports is not only healthy, but people practicing them, can have a lot of fun and anyway, it is much better way how to spend a spare time than sitting in front of TV all day long. In general, there are many kinds of sports. It is possible to divide them into: outdoor and indoor sports, winter and summer sports or for example into individual or group sports. However, a special group could be represented by extreme sports. Nowadays, the extreme sports are in particular among young generation very popular. Teenagers admire extreme snowboarding, dangerous skydiving, fighting sports, such as boxing, wrestling or a free running. Most off these sports have started being practiced this extreme way quite short time ago or they even have come into being just few years ago, so for old generation are mostly unknown or at least a little bit strange. Nevertheless, most of the 60s generation would say, that they had relatively good alternatives in that time, which were able to raise their adrenaline anyway. Very popular was for instance so-called The Civil Disobedience Obstacle Course, which was based on weaving through lines of opposing players directly to the admittance of residential military recruiting center or any administration building. Sports like Midnight McDonald's Relays or Beer Can Orienteering, which included drinking of heroic quantities of beer, were popular as well.
