Jul. 29--Some of you aren't satisfied just hitting, kicking or throwing a ball.

You need something stronger, some sort of athletic espresso to get your competitive and athletic buzz going.

So you climb, bike and ski down mountains. You dive from airplanes and off cliffs, protected by just a parachute or a bungee cord. You surf 25-foot waves and venture 100 feet deep into oceans.

Sean Smith races downhill on a skateboard. Up to 21/2 miles. At speeds up to 50 miles per hour.

Albert Valencia swam a race named "Sharkfest." From Alcatraz to San Francisco. In chilly San Francisco Bay.

Kind of makes our men's tennis league seem like a walk in the park.
