Extremeness = Participating in a very dangerous sport

way out = extreme
character = Ness

This is my interpretation!

Thank you! But, excuse my ignorance, who was Ness?

perhaps I should not have capitalized ness.
(Apart from the monster) ness used as a sufffix to give the main word a character or quality.

You need to be a certain age to know that Eliot Ness was a character in a TV series called, I think, The Untouchables.

I agree with jazzgirls explanation, Eliot Ness was a real person, so not really a character
