How are they able to perform well under intense pressure? Literally life or death situations. I’m talking about hardcore parkour or crazy people climbing skyscrappers.

Have their brains been altered that they can’t feel fear from their stunts?

    Extreme sports athletes are usually way more chill than traditional athletes. It looks crazy, yes, but everything they do is super safe in most cases and the rarely push their luck.

    Traditional athletes though… Oh man, it’s a life a self torture, non stop chemical poisoning, daily traumas, etc. They’re usually barely able to walk at 30. Or get out of bed without painkillers.
