Which sports are or were you good at?  
Title: Re: Sports
Post by: Marik on Mar 20 07 11:55
Football (soccer)... still good at it (not to brag).  
Title: Re: Sport
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 20 07 11:57
  I played football, basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, golf
Football: was on a team that was number 1 in state, but got upset in front of 15,000 people on the way to the state championship in the semi-final round.  (We were deemed best team in the state on all school levels) (we were a smaller school)
Basketball: Was asked (but declined) to be on the basketball team that won the state championship (bad move oops)
Golf: I was a notorious bad boy
Tennis: for some reason I could never win
Baseball: Was really good, got on a 'select' team, but burned out.
Soccer: was a defender

University:
Rowing: People apparently fawn over me due to my size

People to avoid at University:
A) The Football coach- I'm done with football, sorry, don't care if I'm the tallest biggest potential student on campus
B) The Basketball coach- see A

Hobbies:
Cycling: I've always been really really good at riding a bike for long distances.

Played hockey...is there other sports? I guess Lacrosse too, but that was to keep me warmed up for hockey.

 For leisure, snowboarding, which I gave up hockey to do as much as I can. In the summer, water-skiing. Not a fan of golf.

 Baseball?? Come on sports! Oh, I forgot you are American, sportsdude, and they consider baseball a sport??? I never got that one.

 (just razzin' ya!)

lol, yeah I got tired of it, crashed and burned in that sport.

Just teasing anyways. Baseball can be fun to play. It is just on TV, it is a bit slow.  I have been to a Mariner game and I wasn't really into it. Safeco is a shuweeeet ball park though!  
Title: Re: Sports
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 20 07 01:38
yeah both safeco and the Seahawks stadium's are one of the bests.

I played soccer too as a youngster. I had a blast even though I was a mediocre player.

LOL!!!!
Good one pl, good one. ;)

You'd be a studess on the basketball court. You would dominate the backboards, able to drive to the hoop and also pull up and shoot the three, ultimate triple threat player. ;)

 I thought that I would get a smite from you for being cheeky. ;)  Darn, I was kinda looking forward to one.  

 P.S.  I LOVE basketball!  Wish that I could play it often and wished that I played for SFU's Women's B-ball team!  DARN IT!  REGRETS REGRETS! :P

You could easily beat me now, haven't picked up a basketball in ages.  Every coach wanted me to be Shaq-like but I was more comfortable shooting threes lol.

Post by: purelife on Mar 20 07 02:41
Who said I'd want to play one-on-one b-ball with you? ;0.  There's no way in hell would I play with a guy who is 10 times taller and bigger than moi.  I'd get freaking crushed AND, it's not FAIR! ;)

  Though, OMG, some girls on the b-ball team are freaking HUGE!

Post by: Devil on Mar 20 07 02:42
There was also a phase in the 90s, I played 'Bong'.
Title: Re: Sports
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 20 07 02:43
 I'll play with one hand behind my back. ;)

Yeah the basketball girls are huge. 6'4, 6'3. oye, they scare me.

I'll play that with one arm tied behind my back. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c032.gif" border=0]

Title: Re: Sports
Post by: P.C. on Mar 20 07 08:02
Well being as I can't even watch TV left handed, I'll opt for the right.
Title: Re: Sports
Post by: Sportsdude on Mar 20 07 08:09

 Good question. Also, how do penalties work?
Title: Re: Sports
Post by: Russ on Mar 21 07 10:14
Um, I never follow any real set rules with that sport. Its more fun to make up the rules in my favour as I go :)

True :)

  How was the snow today?
Title: Re: Sports
Post by: Lil Me on Mar 21 07 06:17
Snow was ok.  Hardpack with a skiff of new snow on top.  Kept snowing all day.  My MEC snow pants are NOT waterproof.  Need to get my edges sharpened.  I tried a few weeks ago, but the machine at Sport Chek broke, so they were never tuned up.  You ski, Russ?
Title: Re: Sports
Post by: Russ on Mar 22 07 10:39
Nope. Im a watersports guy. I wakeboard and water ski.
Title: Re: Sports
Post by: Lil Me on Mar 22 07 06:00
Sounds totally fun.  I've never done either.  Both my parents and in-laws have boats, but I've never been a boat-y person.  Actually, I don't think either of their boats is ski-worthy.
Title: Re: Sports
Post by: Russ on Mar 22 07 06:31
really? most boats you can ski beind even with a bridle.
