For vicarious thrills, Curt Gowdy's short-lived American Sportsman video series fits the bill. In this episode, watch as brave souls tempt death through a variety of thrill-seeking activities including climbing some of the world's tallest mountains and hang-gliding off some lesser peaks. Some people like to do. Some people like to watch. And sometimes the watchers are inspired to get out there and try something that terrifies them. That dynamic is at the core of this adventure video.
