Skiing, rock climbing, mtn biking, skydiving, paragliding, BASE, even surfing.... I've met a few black folks that do each but not many. Usually they "leave that crazy shit to the whiteboys" or so I've been told.

There are cultural differences involved here. Why the fuck do these people feel they have to force involvement to appease their self inflicted white guilt?!

Sayso, a musician, who wrote the soundtrack to the film, is one of the few young people in the community who admits to liking swimming but that’s only because he grew up in Nigeria where, he says, it was a common activity.

When he moved to Peckham in London, aged 15, he was the only boy in his football team who swam to keep fit. “I was thinking, ‘Why don’t you guys swim?’ They’d be like, ‘I don’t want to, it’s too cold, it’s my hair, it’s this, it’s that.’ I’m thinking, that’s crazy!”

They literally expose this in the article, but monster truck right over it straight to social injustice.

Can vouch for the rock climbing. Been doing it since 2011 and only met like 4-5.
