B/R Classfied: Recruitment Needed For a New Community
Writers Needed For Extreme Sports Community
Ladies and gentlemen, sportwriters of all ages, B/R is a place we love to spread our ideas, share our opinions and manifest our passion through writing and leaving comments. There are many communities from the NFL, NBA, MLB, Tennis, F1, NHL, NASCAR, and the Wrestling community, my main community.
I venture off into other communities as I'm fond of many sports. I know writers out there have written for other communities as well. One day, I published an article for the X-Games and noticed that there wasn't an Extreme Sports community.

I must have not been cognizant, but now I am. I've taken this to the B/R big guys and they've made a proposition for me and hopefully the community. If at least five guys agree to join the community, we can get it going and the Extreme Sports community will join B/R's other communities. We all have a good sense of what Extreme Sports are, but just in case, I'll touch the surface.
Skateboarding
Tony Hawk is one of the most legendary men of the sport and is hands down the Michael Jordan of skateboarding. Since his 90's era, skateboarding has come back to life from the days of Tony Alva.
A slew of young men aspire to rule the sport and they have their own World Series, Wimbledon, Daytona 500, NBA Finals, Masters, Wrestlemania, and it's called the X-Games. The Games are covered by ESPN and the boys come out to play.
BMX
Everyone knows cycling right? We know Lance Armstrong, but what about Extreme cycling? Have you ever seen a man rotate his bike five times in the air without neither hand on the bike handle?
I have and it's called the No-hand 900. It's been done by BMX legend Matt Hoffman. Dave Mirra was another star in BMX and the moves these guys pull off will blow away minds.
Moto X
We've seen dirt bikes right? Have you guys ever seen men go across entire arenas doing death-defying stunts on motorbikes? These men are true dare devils as their lives are on the lives.
When you ask if they do it for the fans or themselves, some respond with they do it for themselves. Travis Pastrana is a legend in Moto X. He was the first man to successfully land a double backflip on a motorbike. The move is known too.
Snowboarding/Skiing
When summer ends and snowstorms come out, do you think Extreme sports are done for the year? Heavens no! The winter X-Games come into play. Skiing and Snowboarding are taken to the next level. Shaun White is a extreme sport prospect. He skateboards and snowboards.
In some eyes, he's the next Hawk. This would be equivalent to LeBron James or Adrian Peterson, or the young and upcoming Tampa Bay Rays MLB team. With all the snow and no wheels you would think that people wouldn't be going to the extreme right? Wrong. Shaun White has rotated further than the 900 and landed the 1080. But have you seen 1260? How many spins is that? Watch and find out.
There's also surfing amongst other extreme sporting. These sports defy gravity. These sports cover land, air, and sea. It isn't about what you can do, but doing what you can't do. I am very optimistic about this new community, but it'll only happen with the help of writers who want to contribute to the Extreme Sports community.
ESPN, NBC and ABC are three big broadcasting networks cover extreme sporting throughout the year and the things we'll see are phenomenal. I'll leave a preview of 2009's X-Games. You can view it here. Comments at the bottom any anyone is welcome to join the community.
