bdutton Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Not to hijack the Favorite Sports Team thread... what is your favorite participation sport. I love shooting. Especially the precision rifle and pistol sports. Bullseye pistol and Precision rifle (Olympic style, both air and smallbore). What are your favorite sports to participate in.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Back in the day it was lacrosse before I became all old and decrepit. Today, I would say it’s badminton. We got a net we put up in the summer and a decent set of rackets. Fun to play stoned too!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Playing ice hockey. I did continue to play baseball, but the sudden starts, stops, change in direction, not moving for awhile, sprinting, etc was resulting in too many injuries. I stopped playing a couple years ago, but miss it. Believe it or not, ice hockey is way more gentle on the joints and such than baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I used to do things like hiking, long distance bike riding, skiing (downhill and cross country), running (a little), tennis (a little). Now I just sit around and complain about how sore my knees are. I’m betting bionic knees are in my future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 We play sand volleyball in the spring and summer sessions. I’m not very good, having never played before my early adult life, but it is a lot of fun. Basketball is also a favorite, but I don’t get to play nearly as much as I used to. As someone who played football my whole life, I wish I played a sport that would have transitioned better to adult life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary M Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 football wrestling and track (discus/shot put) in High school. Played some beer league softball for a while, played sand volleyball at YMCA until they took the court out to build a new building. Still play VBinside during winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Downhill skiing. I still race in an over 40 alpine race league which is fun. My knees cant take the pounding of moguls any more, but beyond that I can still ski anything I used to ski in my 20s. Beer league softball after work comes in a close second. Thats always a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hockey, by far. The constant flow to the game, shooting the puck, passing....hockey is super fun to play. I love hockey and am a huge Sabres fan, but it's more fun to play than watch. Also love playing frisbee! LOL Just love it. It's fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a summer Olympic year, so it was some sort of promotion tied into that. So my brother and I set it up in the backyard, and it got really intense. We thought we were so good. Then we saw badminton was on TV. Oh, how wrong we were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) I suck at most sports. two left legs coordination wise, but I did very well running Track and Cross country in HS. Varsity Squad for 3 years and (a stoner to boot.) Breaking my ankle in 75 really changed what sports I could do.

Let me google it real quick from my work computer while work is slow. I want to get back into bowling. I bowled a lot when I was younger, but never took it seriously till middle school. I had a decent average for my age of about 140, but my high school team was really good. Like, had a game where there were two 300 games, a 299, and the lowest was a 281. I still bowled in a Saturday morning fun league. But the roof collapsed and they had to move to a smaller bowling alley and combine teams. I was stuck bowling with a bunch of kids younger than myself and lost interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinceThe70s Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 In the past it would've been softball in the summer and skiing in the winter, but I didn't play softball the past two summers and I only get out skiing a couple of times each year. These days my favorite is Wiffle Ball in the backyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Tennis. Hands down. You can do it forever, like golf, which is great. I’m too old for most of the other stuff, I’ll play tennis 5 days a week sometimes when the weather is decent and I can round up a partner. Good exercise, especially if you play on clay (which is FAR easier on the body!) Second place? How about Jarts in the park at a keg party. That sounds like FUN!

When I first started dating my wife, she didn't understand my sense of humor or sarcasm. I saw an ad on Facebook for a local bar that was hosting midget wrestling. As a joke, I said "Hey. We should go to this, and get front row tickets." So she went out and actually bought me VIP seats for midget wrestling, that came with ringside seats and a free t-shirt. It was actually really fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
