yup^
Im interested in how things come to be regarded as cool, risky, all of that, and especially in adventure. Theres clearly something going on because just about every bike shop I go past has got an OTP fixed in the window,
with the risk thing, how is it that going to Queenstown New Zealand to bungee jump is seen as adventurous?
When you consider the plane trip, easy travel, commercial operators, complete lack of risk in tying an elastic band around your leg and jumping Its about as adventurous as going for a cup of tea in M &S, ...goes back to what James was saying.
