GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ What Sports You Guys Like
Posted by: Ben Higgins Nov 18 2012, 09:17 PM
I just wondered what different types of sports you guys are into ? I know what some of you do but for most of you guys, I wouldn't know 
I've really started getting into boxing.. wouldn't be surprised if I'm the only one here into it

I like to watch UFC and rugby
Posted by: llibach Nov 18 2012, 11:03 PM
I played Rugby competitvely till about 2 years ago when I smashed my collar bone into 4 pieces. I've done a bit of boxing training as well just for fitness, actually had a few training sessions with the rugby team there and at the end we got to spar with each other, 
that was fun seeing the guys try their best to knock each other out. Two rounds of swinging like maniacs there wasn't much boxing going on but there were a few good shots landed, and a couple of knockdowns.
As for watching sport the two previous mentioned ones and a little UFC and American Football.

Watching TV Series 
watched around 50 so far, also trying to get 'Watching TV Series' to the Olympics, wish me good luck! 
But seriously.. It is a hard sport since if you lay on the same side in your couch for like 8 hours, your back starts to hurt.. Take that olympic weightlifters!

Ahaha I also sent a mail for that categorie to the Olympics offices ahahah
My all-time favorite sport is table tennis, and my all-time favorite table tennis player is Jan-Ove Waldner.

My fave sports of all time will allways be skiing, but I love riding my bike almost as much, swimming is great too.

Weight lifting and functional training - as a complementary activity for my Ken/ Batto Jutsu training
Other than that, dunno, I guess I'd like to fly with as less equipment as possible - free base jumping?

Cool, some really interesting answers guys !!

Nice ! Is it something you only get to do on special trips or do you have a dry slope near where you live ?
I have never ski'd yet

I got gold in that once
Posted by: PosterBoy Nov 19 2012, 11:49 AM
None.
I enjoy going to the gym but don't regard that as sport, just personal progression (with a side helping of vanity).
I quite like watching skateboarding stuff from time to time.
Posted by: Marcus Siepen Nov 19 2012, 01:38 PM
Nope Ben, unfortunately here are no snowy mountains in the area where I live, so I can't go skiing whenever I would like to. I started skiing when I was 3 years old, back then m parents and me went to do skiing vacations every year, I just love it.

Is that a pic of you earlier this summer ?
Posted by: WeePee Nov 19 2012, 05:04 PM
Of course ! I look different because the ants are all over me

Since you asked, American major college football and basketball, and American Pro football. Not much interest in anything else.
Generally I have a distaste for professional sports, at least what they have become in this modern age. But American Pro Football gets a pass in my book. For one thing it is just such a neat sport, so much goes on in that sport. But they also maintain parity in the teams, they don't allow the huge cities to get all the good players by outbidding the smaller cities. And I like the fact that they don't draft players into league until after 3 years of college.

used to really follow the boxing but kinda drifted into mma. Also used to go and watch football every week but nowadays I just tend to watch highlights on tv.
Posted by: superize Nov 19 2012, 10:10 PM

Bahaha Finland would have to be one of the most rock'n'roll countries in the world, even the kids get to enjoy entertainment like Hevisaurus
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Nov 20 2012, 09:11 AM
Seriously now... Maybe I'll seem silly, but is this a thing people in Finland are doing?
Posted by: Ben Higgins Nov 20 2012, 10:15 AM
Yes, please do tell !!!!
Posted by: WeePee Nov 20 2012, 03:48 PM
Hah those are just for crazy people. Here's a good article about the crazy s**t in here. Mostly these are in summer.
http://goscandinavia.about.com/od/annualeventsinfinland/tp/weirdeventsfinland.htm
But I think every country has weird stuff going on ?
That air guitar comp is cool also swamp soccer. Few of my friends attended few years ago. And I tell you...It's not easy to kick the football in a swamp !!
Oh yeah Hevisaurus is awesome.

The only sport I really like to watch is soccer, but sometimes I dont mind watching the cricket. (Great when your hungover! )
I always love the crazy stuff coming out of Finland! Some interesting sports were mentioned before! Couldnt imagine Anthill sitting would be plesant though 
Here's an interesting sport i came across recently, Its quite an unusual hybrid 
Posted by: Ben Higgins Nov 20 2012, 05:59 PM

Posted by: AK Rich Nov 20 2012, 06:33 PM
Well lets see American Basketball and Football (college and pro) Alternative sports such as the summer and winter X -Games or any event put on by Red Bull, Boxing ,Surfing , Auto racing, Motocross and motorcycle road racing, Pylon racing (aircraft) The Olympic Games.
There are probably more I havent thought of... Oh yeah, MXC!!

I'm a bit of a sports nut actually
Being Canadian means I'm legally required to watch hockey but I love it so it's all good. I also watch baseball, basketball, football (NFL) soccer and rugby. I am also a huge UFC fan. As for playing I haven't done much since I hurt my back a few years ago but I am back to playing basketball, I am doing fitness classes and I have my first hockey game in 3 yrs this friday. Can't wait!!!

That chess boxing is a nice thing - a warrior must know strategy and how to fight one on one - just like Musashi says in his book All his examples are given for one on one situations and for many against many situations!
Posted by: Ben Higgins Nov 21 2012, 10:09 AM
