Sure any sport deemed quotextremequot requires a little danger a little risk. But extreme sports aren39t about hazards as much as they39re about originality fun self expression and...okay maybe the occasional adrenaline surge. Also critically fundamental to the existence of an extreme sport is the company it keeps invariably the young or young at heart and the movement it either perpetuates or intensifies. In other words extreme is a scene as much as it is an off the wall activity. But the true test of an extreme sport is its longevity lasting appeal and ability to evolve over time. For some 70 years the flying disc commonly known as the FRISBEE disc has held court on the quieter side of the extreme sports universe. Germinating from a few 1920s Ivy League students goofing off with pie tins from the Frisbie Baking Company of Bridgeport Conn. the flying disc movement swelled to national proportions in 1958 when WHAM a Southern California based toy company introduced the FRISBEE flying disc. Since then the flying disc movement has soared through several incarnations and more than a few fads.
