What sports do you play?

[mattybram]

Lots of talk about spectating sport on here. But what do you actually play/participate in?

Share some info on the level you play at etc as well if you want.

Cable pulling.

and other words

 

[Dustydazzler]

Love the game of darts , used to play with some mates down the pub. Don't get time now so much but I do have a board up at home and try to have a 1/2 hour on the board most days. I find it quite relaxing and I love the simplicity of the game...

 

[littlespark]

Got a dartboard too, and half a pool table at home at the moment.

Not one for team sports. Was always last picked at school…

Winter time, I ice skate. Just as exercise.

 

[Intoelectrics]

I'm not a fan off watching sport in general, much rather be participating.

Golf, off road motor biking (multiple disciplines), badminton, gym are my current activities

Used to play football & cross country running but me old knees can't hack it these days.

Shame work gets in the way, else I'd spend all my time doing some sort of sporting activity.

 

[MJPD29]

Still playing football and play darts too. Used to play a bit of snooker but wasn’t much use at it.

 

[pirate]

Tennis and golf, both to a low standard! However, it gets me out and plenty of exercise.

 

[LukeD]

In my days . Rugby .HK 7's and Rosslyn park etc .School was famous for Rugby .County Swimming (backstroke) Then Cross country Mountain biking and climbing . Cycled twice across North Africa, Down most of the Nile where possible and around Iceland . Now.... I will still go up Snowdon and the Black Mountains given the chance !

 

[telectrix]

walking to the beer stock is enough for me.

 

[Spoon]

I occasionally do Speed Eating sports for cheesecake.

 

[Diddy]

Snooker. League level. Had 113 break. Played county level at pool but didn't enjoy it as much as snooker. Life is funny because now my eyesight has deteriorated I won't play snooker anymore especially after not looking at a cue for 15 years (life and stuff). So now I am about 3 months into a bit of a pool comeback lol. Doing ok at local level, Might commit a bit more time to it and have a real go for the new season which i think starts in August. Get's me and a few friends out the house which post covid/lockdowns and stuff became a thing of the past, so it is all in a good cause lol,

Thats not a sport

Thats a religion

Look away now Tel , Look Away

Ditch the sunscreen, cover yourself in lager, get the best tan ever! Yes, it’s another stupid TikTok craze

There’s a risk of wasp attack, sunburn and skin cancer – but other than that, the ‘beer tan’ is a great idea

I used to cycle a couple of hundred miles a week, but never tried it in a river.

You pedal really fast , the tread on the tyres forms enough traction like a peddle steamer ! In Iceland I had to carry the bike through chest high waters , freezing. Some times if too dangerous , would wait for a big 4 x4 to come along and give me a ride.But that could mean hours wait .Iceland then was a lot quieter , Now its ruined by tourism

Now its ruined by tourism

And also littered with drowned cyclists.

best thing for them apart from gassing.

 

[HappyHippyDad]

Swimming, cycling, running, weights and core workouts. 5 times a week. Pulse of 55 and a few (small) muscles. Gave up kick boxing 1 year ago.

That was 2 months ago. Now I have a bad back and enjoy the occasional slow walk and 3 x 10 reps of lifting a pint of guiness. Funny thing is I seem to have more energy now I'm not working out, plus I get to drink beer so am happy

 

[Risteard]

The only sport I'm involved in is skydiving.

I've always been interest in doing that .... but ended up going in the opposite direction ... under water..

I'd love to try SCUBA diving - to be fair I have done it a couple of times but never done a PADI course or anything like that.

My parents used to dive in Saudi in the '80s, possibly kept diving into the early '90s.

A few of my mates go to Egypt, but I never got to go, as there is only me in the family who is into diving.
I dove near Menai Bridge but mainly at a quarry called Capernwray.
I don't do it anymore.

Diving in that area needs a LOT of Due Diligence .many of the companies are Pee poor when it comes to H&S .Last Time I dived was in Sabang (PH) .It was a nite Dive cert course and I had seen the state of the combined dive schools Emergency gear and instructors . Many allowing divers to go on the ---- at night time and be on the boat at 8am :-( Thats why i did nite dives as it avoided the issues of been with people half cut

My friends who go to Egypt drink at night and dive the next day.
One of the guys tells me that if he's going to throw up while diving, he uses his spare regulator to throw up into, then swap back his usual regulator... Also the fish love vomit..

I would refuse to dive with anyone who was on the lash. Ive seen dive instructors trawl clubs and if they catch you having had too many , You stay off their boat .Despite any payment etc etc

I'm the same...even though I am passionate about my sports (BJJ and rugby) I find watching them both very boring.

I stopped after leaving school . Loved 7's more than 15's

 

[littlespark]

3 of my cousins played rugby throughout school and into adulthood…. I didn’t, and only watch the internationals…

I think I like the shape of my ears as they are….
