What parents need to know

Parents need to know that this countdown series features extreme sports. Enthusiastic fans of these events should be reminded that these stunts should not be tried without proper supervision and training. The overall show is pretty mild, and features people who are very serious and passionate about their sport. Depending on the sport, athletes are shown in skin-revealing bathing suits. Bikini-clad women are occasionally shown shaking their “booty”. The athletes featured on the show are from all walks of life.
