摘要:This paper´s objective was to analyse the characterization of adventure sports though the analysis of the practice conditions of the Brazilian rafting team called Bozo D´água, a counterexample regarding the literature review. Part of an ethnography, it is focused on ten in depth interviews and field observation. The results indicate that, on the contrary of the adventure practice described as leisure participation, high performance sport was the only possibility of adventure participation for those athletes. Concluding that different versions of adventure sports vary according to class issues, and the potential for circulating alternative sportive values of the adventure practices lose space as Brazilian public politics prioritize high performance sports.
