    Love watching the BMX and skateboarding Dew Tours on the Extreme channel. Always watch them with RATM, Pantera or The Ramones on. Don't really like listening to the commentators make up words to describe new moves. This guy is my favourite

    I've never been really into BMX or I should say I haven't seen enough of it to get into. If you're into skateboarding check out Rodney Mullen, what that guy can't do with a skateboard isn't worth talking about :50:

    Used to skateboard a lot but * up my ankles and wrists so I don't do that anymore. I still snowboard like a mad man every winter. Tried surfing for the first time in Tofino last year and loved it. That's about as extreme as it gets for me.

    I'm big into downhill mountain biking, this guy Mike Hopkins is the best free rider in the world, for me this is off the hook, control is unreal, cracking video.

    Obviously Danny Mac is another I like, quite like the skill side of the stuff he does

    Garrett McNamara, Nazare, Portugal 2011 (78ft wave, a world record)

    He may have broken that record in January 2013 at the same place on a wave estimated at 100ft

    woooah dude totally rad man!

    In all seriousness I used to love BMX and inline skating when I was younger, always hanging around skateparks etc.

    Love watching skate vids though as I am in serious awe of all the * people can do on a skateboard.
