| rdfs:comment | - So you want to make a film based on an extreme sport that your target demographic is really into these days, to cash in on the trend.

So maybe, drug lords are using the local illegal street racing competition as a recruiting ground for wheelmen, and our hero is an undercover cop who must infiltrate them. Perhaps the protagonist's father was killed in the ring of an Mixed Martial Arts competition, and he must seek vengeance by joining the competition and defeating the killer. Or alien invaders use some sort of suppression field to disable all electronic devices, so the only way La Résistance can communicate in the city's battlegrounds is with elite practitioners of Le Parkour' as messengers. Whichever route you choose, its clear from the beginning that the whole point is to feature Extreme Troping for 100 minutes and grab ahold of the people you think are into it. Occasionally the plot will be strong enough to make for an entertaining work on its own, but this is far from a requirement. Sub-Trope of Excuse Plot. Examples of Extreme Sport Excuse Plot include:
