Extreme Sports


Seems like extreme sports is not very popular in Taiwan. Last weekend I walked by an extreme sports park, usually in LA, the park would always be crowed, but here there were only two or three kids riding there bikes around. The bikes were not the proper sports bike, but the standard commute bike for students, which is very common in Taiwan: An women's bike with a basket in front, a basketball is tuked inside the basket, an CD tied in front of the basket, which works as an reflector, and an yellow raincoat is clipped to the back seat. It couldn't fly, couldn't jump, couldn't make a 360 in the air, and made squeaking noise when it braked. It looked very dangerous, but maybe it suited the spirit of "Extreme"?
