What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this site's main content is fairly kid-friendly, but some of the sports stunts featured in videos, photos, and discussions wouldn't be safe for non-pros to try. And, some videos even show bloody injuries after falls. Although you have to be 13 to register and post a profile, unregistered users can cruise around the amateur videos, news posts, message boards (they're moderated), and user profiles -- on which kids post a variety of content. The site has some banner ads and its store lists several "approved affiliates."
Educational value:
Not applicable.
Violence:
The extreme stunts shown on the site may cause injury -- and some do. Footage does capture the injuries (a bloody hand after a fall, for example).
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
The message board moderators will censor inappropriate language, but the profile comments are open.
Consumerism:
The site's store sells clothing and other non-sports stuff (music, travel). There are banner ads.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Some of the videos show underage kids drinking, but most of the footage is tame in this area.
