The Dangerous Sports Club


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. He has all the records of the club. However as people are continually emailing questions about the club I thought it would be a good idea to put up some information on this site. I've included a recent article on the club and excerpts from David Kirke's last two letters to Louis Greig who participated in the early days in France with skis and sleds that ran on blocks of ice. The letters give an account of the recent marriage in France of Hugo Spowers who designed and steered the grand piano down the slopes of St Moritz while Hubert Gibbs played Chopin on it and give some idea of people in the DSC. Click here for the latest nurdorandum from David Kirke and pictures of the 21st Anniversary jump from Clifton Suspension Bridge. Pictures of the first trebuchet human catapult in Netherstowey.
