Dangerous Sports Club

 

 

I first met David Kirke at a fancy dress party in Oxford in 1981 and have been photographing the club ever since. The Dangerous Sports club invented bungee jumping and pioneered other dangerous but also usually ridiculous activities. I have an archive of pictures including some v. early shots of an attemp to ski down hillsides in the summer by attaching skis on blocks of ice. The following is a message from David:

The Dangerous Sports Club is a circle of friends from Los Angeles to Shanghai linking through David Kirke (not to be confused with Kirkee, a town and military
cantonment in Poona district, Bombay, India, 18 degrees 33' N. lat, 73 degrees 54'E. long.) in Oxford England. Many people claim to be members when they are
not but that only amuses him. There are members of the DSC who do not know each other and prefer it to remain that way. Telephone David Kirke on: 01865 727247
from U.S.A. 011 44 1865 727247
