I only rode a snowmobile once, years ago, on a frozen lake in Northern Michigan. It was full throttle for sure.

John 14 In my house are many garages and workshops, and if I go, I will bring you to be there with me. :unsure::)

And there it is. As a Christians you do not focus on thrills and adrenaline rushes from sports. That is for non-Christians. So you need to rearrange your priorities. And mentioning driving as a risk is not even valid. That is an essential activity, not for kicks and thrills.

But you can either do as you please and tempt the Lord, or change your priorities and do His will. You wanted a biblical perspective and Christ showed you what it is in the passage quoted by me.

Do you know many young teens (assuming that is her age) who are allowed to hike in the woods alone for several days/nights and do these kinds of high risk activities/sports?
I don't.

That's a loose interpretation of that verse, but hilarious nonetheless.

Was she a young teen who hiked and camped alone for days?

When she was a young teen did she visit older men in her church alone?
Do these young teens you know parachute and go off trails while snowboarding and jump off cliffs?
Do these young teens you know invite themselves over to people's homes online?

We are not talking about injuries sustained during the normal pursuit of a sport here.
Read between the lines.

Who have I invite me to? Did I say I know parachute? (I say I have done it and I control the bag, that dose not mean that I do not have a instructor with me, you need to have certificate to do it all by your self).
maybe if you live here for a while you would see for your self. I'm far from alone doing sports like this.

My apologies I have no idea of the hidden conversation, if their has been sinister stuff happen In peoples lives I did not realise, Where I was born and raised people go hiking/hunting for days by themselves including my mother when she was younger, Ive seen the photos, My daughter was taught to do the same, its a normal part of life here. So my conversation is out of naivety. Unless your reading stuff inbetween the lines that aint there?

Christ could have taken Satan's bait and thrown Himself down. He would not have been hurt or killed. But that was not the Father's will. And Christ told the devil the reason why.
Likewise, God does not want His people to take unnecessary risks to please the flesh through "thrills" and "rushes". That would be tempting God. Their time is for more important things. That's all I have to say and I am now out of this fruitless discussion.

God cannot be tempted. You ought to be ashamed for even suggesting it, especially after you were already corrected on it once.

you compare snowboarding with jumping to a stone ground?
and again if it is the rush you mean then also I can not go in front of other people in church on a meeting talking? as I get same adrenaline rush from that as I get when jumping with my snowboard from a cliff?

and because not every one is on your side it is fruitless? seems you have a personal opinion and when you not have people on your side it is fruitless?

It is much worse than that but if you hang around you will find out for yourself...

John 14:1-3 Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am.
