How Extreme Sports Die: The 5 Stages Nobody Talks About

Why does every underground sport eventually lose what made it special? I've been thinking about this for a long time. And the more I look at it, the more I realize it's not random, it's the same pattern, playing out at different speeds, in every sport you can name. Skateboarding went through it. Snowboarding went through it. Some came out the other side. Some didn't. And a few are going through it right now, closer to the edge than most people realize. Drop a sport in the comments and tell me which stage you think it's in right now. 00:00 Intro 01:10 Stage 1 - The Underground 02:38 Stage 2 - The Camera Shows Up 04:04 Stage 3 - The Money Moves In 06:07 Stage 4 - The Split 08:38 Stage 5 - The Outcome 11:20 Outro
