5 out of 5 stars Whew! I'm Exhausted.....   August 2, 1999
Were these good-natured loons on a death wish or life wish? You decide. A must read for any armchair traveler (or anyone who has strapped balloons on an armchair and traveled). Mr Lyster writes a mean cool prose.


5 out of 5 stars Absurd extravagence and inspiring extremety- Hilarious   January 7, 1999
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I have never read a better explanation into what drives people to extremes of sensation. I have rarely laughed so loud. Martin's low key style well serves a high key content. In their own words, those who were involved in the wonderful adventures of the dangerous sports club describe events that made extreme sports an artform. Martin provides the background, memories and the ongoing story as the club and its members ultimately lurch into obscurity. If you have the least imagination, you will laugh and be inspired.
