Okay guys what Sports do you like to play?
I myself like playing Ten-Pin Bowling and Soccer
-
There's a sport section here: http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/i...hp?showforum=34 (http://http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?board=37.0)
I'm sure an admin will move the topic, don't worry :)
I'm not much of a sport fanatic. I love cycling however. I cycle to school 20km each day(from and to school). I also love a match of soccer as long as that is with friends. :)

I used to play football (I refuse to call it soccer) until my team was disbanded...
I used to play basketball until my back was disbanded...not literally, but you get the point, i guess...
for some years now i practise tai chi and now i learned there's a rugby team and a baseball team in my home town. wheee n_n

Why do you refuse to call it Soccer?

Why do you refuse to call it Soccer?
I don't like the sound of the word...
furthermore, it is an american term and i prefer to use british english...or at least try to...
Also it is because of the movie Hooligans. I canot recall the dialogue, but the 'Yankee' Eliah Wood was kindly told to not call the game 'soccer'...I liked that scene...
Additionally I remember, I once took part in shooting sports...and concluded: I don't like it.

Soccer sounds so eerily similar to "sucker" which reflects the opinion of many Americans on the game :lol:
I guess I grew somewhat used to the term since I don't care much about the game (in spite of being from a town with a team, Borrusia Dortmund, that is reknown around the world), but Jason actually told me to call it football during our Scandinavia trip when I always referred to it as soccer. Obviously the English being quite a soccerer nation themselves would not want to sound like suckers either :lol

Airsoft is the only sport I really like. Been doing it since 2004.

Hmm, I used to do Hockey and football in school. That was interesting when I used to hit the object into the enemy's goal...at least in my view I hit it into a goal...:D
In the winter I go skiing, although I've tried snow boarding that was quite scary as I felt I didn't have a lot of control so, skiing is better for me.
I also do tennis. Having a mother who is a tennis coach helps, due to free lessons.;) But I have taken part in tournaments and have done pretty good in them. Unfortuantely due to a couple of circumstances I haven't played properly like I used to and I don't want to compete any more since people cheat and I feel that it just ruins the game for others.
I also do archery but haven't done that for a while either.
-
I just like to do all kinds of sport. I also like dancing, if it counts.
-
I do sports, mostly skiing and swimming. (if that's even one) I tried out for my schools volleyball team but didn't make it. Guess I just wasn't good enough. <_<
I also tried snowboarding but I wasn't very good at it. I might try it again next year though but I'm a better skier. I love skiing! I'm even going on the bumps now! And I'm getting pretty good at it too. :smile What's even better is I get to go this saturday! I can't wait!
-
Haha, the bumps...I remember when with the school (we used to ski every winter) I was encouraged to take a jump..just a little jump; more like a bump, I was so suprised that i had made it and not crash landed flat that as I was going down I lost my balance and skied all the way down crouched.
-
I Love to do 10 pin league bowling
-
A little bowling and swimming. That's about it.
-
cool :)
-
i've been uh, dunno how you guys call it, but i'm swimming + being taught how to resque people out of the water y'know? its quite a workout!
I'm also fond of arching, but that is a very recent atletic interest of mine...
furthermore i like shooting (Clay pidgeons, not humans!) snooker and darts, :yes
-
bowling and baseball.
-
I do athletics :D
-
Sadly I don't play any sport at the moment.I really want to do martial arts,and I used to do it,but I can't find a good place now.
As for now,I go jogging or cycling 2-3 times a week with a friend who lives close,and I also do workout three times a week in a gym.I mostly go there alone,only with my media player,though sometimes i meet someone there I know.Barbell bench press is much safer if you have someone to help..
-
I go bush wacking and off trail hiking up in the beautiful, beautiful wasatch mountains.
