Subcultures

The subculture I am interested in writing about will be people who partake in extreme sports, or risk takers. In many cases their dress could be normal everyday wear, but while participating in their extreme sport of choice they usually have clothes that are suited for their needs, such as a jumpsuit for skydivers, or the traditional white and red for people who run with the bulls. Their language will also vary sport to sport or region to region. When in California you would hear words like gnarly, or hardcore as a substitute for when people from the east coast would just say cool.

Mike-
As I mentioned in class, you may want to include a bit of a scientific background approach to this topic. This would help your focus since risk-takers is a somewhat broad group.
