A general, somewhat hazily-defined term for a collection of newer sports that appeal to the young. They often involve a combination of speed, height, danger, spectacular stunts.
The term gained popularity with the advent of the [Extreme Games]?, a made-for-television collection of such events. Advertisers were quick to realise the appeal of the event and competitors and organisers are now flooded with sponsorship.
