    Whats your favorite sport to play or would like to learn to play? Maybe something you've been wanting to learn for a long time? I love tennis.

    Haha! I love the way you put it. That is definitely one way to look at it.

    Oy. I only run because it's necessary. Most times it's pretty far from a positive experience lol.

    Basketball and golf are my main sports, although I can be persuaded to play almost anything.

    I really like table tennis :slight_smile:
    Otherwise I'd say boxing, since it's fighting, but I still see it as a sport rather than martial art.

    My favorite physical activity is a good, brisk sit. :lol:

    I have nearly zero interest in sports. The only two exceptions have been swimming and diving. I swim off and on for exercise. In the past, I have toyed with the possibility of joining US Masters (swim team for old fogies like me), although, even if I had, it's likely I'd never have competed, and highly unlikely that I'd have competed with any regularity.

    I played a bit with diving years back--I casually knew a diving coach--but never got very far.

    I really love biking and longboardging. Running is okay sometimes too. I just need sth where I can get my adrenaline (guilty of being a little adrenaline junkie hehe).
    But I'd really like to learn surfing. And maybe sailing. My dad went sailing with my brother and me and I really really liked it. Another thing I'd like to learn is some martial arts stuff. I've tried some courses out but those weren't the right ones for me. Maybe one day I'll find sth that suits me.
    Idk if Yoga counts as sport but that's sth I'd like to do too one day.

    Clarification: the diving was the swimming pool diving board type, not the "we'll go underwater and visit the sharks with great big fangs!" type.

    What is up with the fonts again?!

    Swimming, punching/kicking bags, and running, if you mean general physical activities.

    If you mean with others, then Kick Ball. And not that tame version kids play, I mean as it originally was meant to be played. A mixture of Dodge Ball and Rugby.

    Problem is, it's hard to get a game going on. But, with the summer already here, there is a possibility of a game or two. Just got to make it happen...

    Alpine skiing in all its forms. Slalom, downhill, slopestyle, extreme skiing. When I was younger I did track and field for a few years. My favourite events were long jump, high jump and short distance hurdles. I was kinda good at discus and hammer as well :lol:, skinny as I was.
    I also love long distance running. I've tried downhill biking a few times and I love it. But I don't live close enough to any slopes to actually do it for a sport. Otherwise I would. I also love doing team sports with my friends; volleyball, football, basketball, floor ball, basically anything team sport related.

    For some time I've wanted to try climbing and extreme kayaking or rafting. Climbing seems like it could come in handy and I've always wanted to have a stronger upper body so I might actually try it this summer. I've also thought about doing yoga. It would be nice to know at least some moves to do on a regular basis to get bit more flexible. Ohh, and parkour seems really fun. I've done it for lols a few times but I've never actually tried to learn any moves.

    Basically sports is like water to me.

    I've wanted to take up archery for some time.

    In Michigan, I used to love to cross-country ski, though no snow for that here.

    I also like horseback riding, which is sort of a sport, and have been dog-sledding a few times, which was even more fun, and quite physical.

    Oh, and hiking, and swimming. Not in any competitive way, just for fun.

    I've never been into any sports.

    Running/joggin/walking if that counts. Video games? :grin:

    I've never tried snowboarding, but I've tried skiing. My friend said that you need to learn how to skii before snowboarding. I have no idea how the mechanics work but I don't really believe him. I heeded the advice anyway, didn't want to come home with a broken bone!

    My other favorite sports are skating and swimming.

    Maybe I will tackle martial arts again and if opportunities arise, archery. Parkour looks fun too. And then we have those gymnasts, yum.

    I have a Wii?


    Jokes aside, I'm pretty into nature-driven athletics. I enjoy biking and hiking, as it gives me a chance to explore all the twisty, curvy, hill-ridden trails through the provincial park. I also really enjoy kayaking as it's a fun solo-activity which leads to lots of reflection time. Living on a river, I also so do lots of general water sporty stuff. Wakeboarding, waterskiing, portaging, all that good stuff. I also swim a lot, however, I've never really been taught the proper technique, so I just kind of splash around and float on my back, and travel from dock to dock a la froggy style. I've also been taking yoga classes for a while.

    sorry I didnt know what counted as athletics, so I included everything
