A type of Sports Story based around an extreme sport, such as skateboarding, street racing, underground Mixed Martial Arts, parkour, or free climbing. The reason these sports have such appeal is in the Rule of Cool and excitement and risk inherent in them. There's a certain thrill to seeing athletes or athletic actors commit incredible and dangerous physical feats, made even more impressive by cinematography, pounding soundtracks, and a fast-paced plot. The narratives of Extreme Sports Plots vary. A newcomer underdog from a regular background might be introduced to the thrilling, edgy lifestyle. Established professionals might be betting it all on one last, dangerous ride. On occasion, an Extreme Sports Plot is mixed with another genre; a common one is for a cop to go undercover to investigate some illegal race/fight club. Can utilize any one of the following, depending on the sport: Cool Car, Cool Bike, Artistic License – Martial Arts, Fight Clubbing, Scenery Porn. Contrast Subculture of the Week. |

Fast & Furious: Same as the second (different drug lord), with the added twist that Dom is also going undercover on his own initiative to get revenge on the man who killed his girlfriend. From that point onwards things go so off the rails in Serial Escalation that the series essentially becomes G.I. Joe with a souped-up car gimmick. | |

Drop Zone: The excuse is that some people want to break into the DEA office to find out all their undercover agents. It turns out Washington DC is a free drop zone for skydivers on one day (hard to say if this was ever true — certainly not after 9/11), so they use that to sneak into the building. | |

xXx: The setup for the first film is that the NSAnote The film was made before the PRISM scandal made the National Security Agency's actual (rather unglamorous yet also ominous) mission of signals/communications intelligence common knowledge. As such, the agency had an aura of mystery surrounding it, causing a lot of contemporary Spy Fiction to speculate that it was where the US had its super-elite, Bond-style secret agents. The phrase "No Such Agency" was originally a backronym for it. apparently need an extreme sports athlete with anarchist leanings to infiltrate the like-minded Anarchy 99 terrorist group, as their clean-cut James Bond types have already been exposed and killed for their inability to mesh seamlessly within the group. The entire plot is a contrivance to set up the parachute-snowboard-snowmobile-grenade scene. The sequel xXx: State of the Union swaps out the extreme sports for Gangsta Rap, as an ex-Navy SEAL from the Washington, D.C. ghetto teams up with his former partners in crime to stop a coup attempt. And the third film xXx: Return of Xander Cage has Xander recruited for another mission and him deciding to ditch the CIA suit-and-tie gang that they tried to give him to recruit his own Ragtag Bunch of Misfits team that, you guessed it, are all also master extreme sportsmen on top of whatever else they are good at. |

The 2015 remake is even crazier, with Big Bad Bodie's justification going from "just" surfing to a jamboree of extreme stunts around the world that, if completed, are supposed to let the sports artist achieve a kind of spiritual Nirvana, not to mention that the heists now involve insane stunts such as Halo jumping. | |

My Name Is Earl has an episode where Earl is still in his coma, and the hospital convinces Randy to start caring for him at home instead of keeping him there, or moving him to long-term care. Randy has figured out that doing items on the List seems to improve Earl's condition (even pulling him back from the brink of death in an earlier episode), and one of the items involved stealing wheelchairs from two paralyzed children some 20+ years ago to go racing, leaving them out in the sun to be humped by a dog. The boy (now a man) competes in a game called "Killerball," which is like a cross between basketball and dodgeball, in wheelchairs. So does the girl's (now a woman) ex-boyfriend. Earl (despite being totally unaware) gets caught in the middle of a conflict between the ex-boyfriend and the brother. He wakes up from the coma in the middle of the game, after scoring a winning goal. | |

Max Steel starts as this, but drops it for a season and a half when Josh McGrath, for whom 'Max Steel' is an alias, quits sports because he can't turn off his powers and doesn't enjoy competition with the unfair advantage. He later learns to overcome this and the trope shows up played straight in a couple of episodes, but he's completely switched careers. In the season three Retool, Josh is no longer a secret agent and goes back to competing, so it shows up a few more times. | |

District 13 is designed to showcase the parkour skills of its protagonists, one of whom is actually the founder of the sport. The story is considerably more political than could be expected due to the social issues involved, dealing with a dystopia where the more dangerous neighborhoods around Paris were walled off by the government and left to fend for themselves. | |

Tony Hawk's Underground had a fairly decent plot involving getting sponsored by a major skateboarding company, and proving yourself as a star, before events made you realize that it was never about the money, and you end the game learning to do it for fun, rather than for money. The sequel then had you skating around the world causing mayhem as part of a team of pros competing in a "World Destruction Tour". | |

One of them even falls for it twice.

Both versions of Rollerball have this. The titular Blood Sport is a sci-fi mix of Roller Derby, motocross, and Gladiator Games. The original film emphasized the use of rollerball as Bread and Circuses meant by the corporate rulers of the world to suppress individualism, the protagonist Jonathan becoming an Icon of Rebellion by emerging as a superstar athlete in a system designed to keep him down. In the remake, meanwhile, the Big Bad made the sport as violent as he could in order to maximize ratings, even at the expense of his stars. The "extreme" elements are also emphasized, most notably with Paul Heyman as the announcer and the sport being heavily draped in a contemporary "Attitude Era" pro wrestling aesthetic. | |

Out Cold was a Sex Comedy example, in which a "save the ski resort" plot is used as the excuse for a mix of early '00s raunchy humor and scenes of snowboarders carving up the slopes of British Columbia (doubling for Alaska).
