Which sport requires the biggest "cojones"?

[TitoFan]

I just saw this video clip and it got me to thinking... of all the extreme sports in existence, which do you think requires the biggest "cojones" (and/or the biggest death wish, whichever). I listed a few, but I know there's lots more. Feel free to discuss which extreme sport you feel is the most hazardous or requires the most testicular fortitude. Post any clips you have.

For me it's a close call between big wave surfing and rock/ice wall climbing. BASE jumping and wingsuit flying are extreme, but you're ultimately protected by the parachute. Kayaking over a waterfall is pretty extreme also. But surfing 100-foot waves is "other-wordly". And for sustained effort with extreme danger at every turn, nothing beats rock climbing or ice wall climbing. Those are some outrageous athletes.

I realize I left out some obvious ones, like helicopter snowboarding, and extreme downhill mountain biking.

Someone said 60 degrees. That fucking slope looks closer to 70-75 degrees.
Un-freaking-believable!

Off the top of my head would say kayaks on the waterfalls and the flying suit ones. Saw a documentary where the guy in the flying suit missed the ground going over a cliff by inches. Of course they only do these extreme sports coz they cant play football (soccer) lol

Even weekenders have more balls than me . I wouldnt go in one of these after seeing this.

Yeah if they had any bigger balls and they'd scrape on the ground at 100 miles per hour, thats going to hurt.

I think you are right this is it.

One wrong move and its all over.

I have a section in my utube channel dedicated to adrenalin sports,so it takes me seconds to get to these best ones. (I do have a life)

Nobody's voted for rock climbing... and those dudes are just off the charts. I mean, to climb a vertical rock wall with nothing but your fingertips and toes between you and a death plummet... you gotta have some balls. And these guys aren't wearing a parachute, so there's no margin for error.

But yeah... I've seen some of those wingsuit flyers and those guys are just plain crazy. It seems like someone is constantly pushing the envelope on each of these extreme sports. Today, it's a kayak off a 190-foot waterfall. Tomorrow, someone will kayak off a 300-foot fall. The guy in the opening post surfed a 100-foot wave. I don't know how much bigger they get, but someone's bound to break that record sooner or later.

I would probably say male gymnastics. As a man you wouldn't wear those tight fitting clothes unless you had big balls.
