KEALA KENNELLY – REAL EXTREME!
Keala Kennelly was born on August 13, 1978 on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. The future legend of female surfing professionally engaged in this sport at the age of 17 years. Soon Keala took part in the World Series. Her performance was magnificent, which allowed her to take an honorable 2nd place in the global standings of the “WQS Tour”.
As it turned out, Keala Kennelly did not take the prize by chance, because in the future she was awaited by a series of tournaments in the series at which she showed amazing results and finally made herself known. In 2000, Keala crushed her rivals at the Gallaz Women’s Pro Championship, which was held in Tahiti in the small village of Teahupoo.

UELI STECK – REAL EXTREME!
Uli Shtek, the future legend of conquering the peaks, the Swiss Machine and the owner of two Golden Ice Axes, was born on October 4, 1977 in Switzerland in Langnau im Emmental. He was fond of hockey and skiing as a child. He became interested in mountaineering as a 12-year-old boy. In adolescence, he trained at climbing gyms. At the age of 18, having gained good physical and psychological shape, he already went through some of the most difficult and dangerous routes in the Alps.
Despite his youth, Uli Shtek conquered difficult peaks one after another. By the age of 25, he already had an impressive and respectful track record. In 1998, a young mountaineer single-handedly reached the summit of Mengch on Heston’s lobby. In 2001, the Pointe-Walker of the Grand Joras Massif obeyed him. In addition, this route was extreme and extremely difficult. In the same year, along with Uli Buler, the athlete first climbed Pumori – the peak in the Himalayas in the Mahalangur-Himal mountain range. The route was a little less than one and a half kilometers. About a year later, in 2002, together with Sean Easton, the Swiss Car made its own route to Alaska to Dickey, which was called Blood from Stone. Continue reading
DAVE MIRRA – REAL EXTREME!
Miracle is a boy.
It so happens that the star of a sport or show business automatically becomes a legend in life, which is then remembered and told to the descendants with admiration.
The name of the cyclist Dave Mirra will forever remain in the history of sports. Hard work, talent and luck – these are the components of success for a guy born in the small town of Chittenango in New York State on April 4, 1974.
As soon as the baby was four years old, his mother left the family, and Dave and his older brother Tim remained with their father.
Simple cycling along the alleys of his hometown soon turned into a passion. Since there were many enthusiastic about bicycles in the early 80s, Dave quickly found like-minded people. They spent time together, but did not lose it in vain – they improved their bikes, which undoubtedly contributed to the growth of skill. Continue reading
