Ozaki Eight is a lie. The desire for many activities is not.

Let's get current...nice list but to be really with it you have to do all of the above while texting AND you have the extra burden of recording it all with either selfies or a GoPro.

There is no such thing as "human powered sports"


Unless you forget about such things as 5000 years of recorded human intellect, science, enterprise, and advancements...that made possible your ability to use hydrocarbon manufacturing, worldwide communication and information transmission, metallurgy that made possible the internal combustion engine as it exists today (what you walked to the place you rode that bike?! or climbed that wall..lol)... Capitalism and the legal framework that gives it the needed security to innovate and provide the aforementioned technological advances...

I like to think of them as apocalypse activities.

Things u could technically be able to do with no gear, or society.

The only three I can think of that are legitimately human powered, or could be:


Climb

Run

Swim

I can't believe the original human powered sport is still absent from the lists,especially with this crowd.
