Answer 1

The UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) is considered to be a dangerous and brutal sport.  It would probably be a good topic since it's fairly popular here in the U.S. and your fellow students would know what you're talking about.  Also, there are clips on YouTube that show the violence involved with the sport like this one:

Skateboarding, it's awesome and deadly!  If you land wrong and slip out then hit your head your dead! One kid at our school died when he was riding down his driveway and hit a truck. The parts of a skateboard are the deck(made of wood that snaps sometimes), grip tape (keeps your feet on the deck, after a long day skating my thumb got cut just constantly carrying the board. Trucks (essentially axles that keep the wheels on, made of metal), Wheels( made of urethane, Makes the board move), bearings (makes your move faster than just wheels which wouldn't move at all, too fast bearings that your are not used to could cause you too slip out and die, and if a bearing breaks you will go flying), and the hareware(which keeps the trucks to the deck). Skateboarding started in california around the 60's  and was called sidewalk surfing. For the next question just watch scarred on MTV or you tube. Everybody who skates probably has fallen and sprained something, a smaller percentage has broken a bone, and a very small percentage have acctually died. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QE5ZwiDz6...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF0tXeWqD... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zjTgyw6j...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ads6tBUBK... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIZ9BmiwM...
