Quick question about sports!

Dear native speakers,

Just a quick question: What are the people called who do action sports/extreme sport/adventure sport (such as wakeboarding/sky diving/jet skiing/kitesurfing etc.)? I don't want to use athletes because it's not specific enough. Any ideas? Thank you!

Hi, I'd just say the specific term, eg a skydiver, eg a wake-boarder. To refer to them all, I might say 'extreme sports enthusiasts'. Clive
