Résumé

Adventure sports is more than a sport and is a kind of lifestyle; however, little is known about the practice of athletes with disabilities. This article shows, based on the adventure/extreme sports athlete with a disability's comprehension, and learn about their challenges and motivations. With the qualitative method, 14 athletes answered an open online questionnaire. Quality of life, love by sport and freedom sensation were considered the main motivators for practice; adrenaline and adventure were the main reasons for choosing the modality; and the main inspiration was athletes with a disability. Notwithstanding, they scored many accessibility barriers (physical and nonphysical) that were overcome by willpower. Thus, the practice of adventure sport by such athletes is an achievement. It is the guarantee of citizenship even if based on overcoming and therefore considered a transgressive act.
