Sports you play or enjoy playing

[ECKS]

Hey guys , just bored ****less really with nothing to do and am curious what sports you guys play other than kickboxing, thai boxing etc ?
I play basketball and have been doing it since I was 5 ...

Nice if you guys can contribute and go into depth about ur history involving the sport ...

[supermario]

Dad was a pro soccer player in his day, and a pro coach later on, so my brother and I both played soccer from a very early age. I started playing in the first grade, so I was 6, and I started playing basketball that same year. I played both sports until I stopped at the end of 1998, having turned 19 that year. I haven't played either sport ever since turning 20, and I'm currently 26 years old. I'll probably end up playing both sports again when I turn 30, seeing as I'll be eligible to play in master's tournaments and feel like a rookie again. I don't think the 10 year hiatus will do me any good though, but I'm sure the elbows will come in handy, hehe. However, ring sports were, and will always be, my favourite. Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, MMA, and even Pro Wrestling, I love them all. I've only ever practiced Muay Thai, but I respect all fighting arts.

Martial arts most of my life, played Aussie rules , still love my motorcross not racing just bush bashing, and I play golf when I can, got into skydiving for a while and now that cray season is just starting time to put on the tanks and get som crays for xmas, taste better when there free.
But most of all watching cricket and footy on the box is the sport I've come keen of lately.<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>

I use to be Basketball, but i got fed up with getting kicked out the stadium and suspended.

So now it's limited to that tennis game that you hit the ball round and round on the pole.

I could be a state champion at that, in fact Teather Tennis for the Comenwealth Games!!!!!!!

Big D in training, will be back in da house one day......

[Mungkorn]

Love that game miss the ball you get another chance.....

LOL sounds exactly like me.

I got suspended for 72 weeks for knocking a guy out cause he pushed my buttons one too many times. didnt go back to b'ball since. I was a freak when i was a little younger. much lighter than i was now but could do all the spectacular dunks that you see on tv. now im lucky to just dunk it with an added 20+ kilos

Dont mistake my harshness for strength and neither mistake my kindness for weakness.

[ECKS]

lol ahhh that was such a good night Humble wasnt it :P
Dont believe him guys he still can dunk with his 20 plus kilos on , he freaks me out everytime he does it ...

Big D where abouts did you used to play?

[Bushi]

Humble,

Ever thought of dunking on your opponents head.."the FLYING dunk"..

I use to play in whyalla (only social, played for my town a couple of times but i'm not a superstar)

As for the forced time away from the game, over a period of 4 weeks i had three all in brawls, or i should say me and an offsider onto the other team(thats what happens when you play in a team with younger lads, they run)and nothing happened.

But then I abuse a Ref, and tell him that i think he is'nt a very nice person and can jump of a cliff (censored what really said) and away i go for 12 weeks. Come back, get kicked out, come back, get kicked out, see the issue.

So no more B Ball for me <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

Big D in training, will be back in da house one day......

Footy, [league] started as a 5yo playing u/7 for Penrith Waratahs, moved to QLD played til i was 17/18 got a car,license, met girls and footy became something on tele on sunday afternoons.[though still follow it fiercly]and fishing,heading out to some of our local offshore reefs first thing for half a day provides a [normally] great day out,an esky full of allsorts and more often than not a great workout....love-it.

i like to fark hot s1uts for sport<img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle> other than that just train myself and others and compete in the noble art of muay thai

"what would i know... i'm just some guy."

[jabba]

when i was younger i used to play basketball,i'v also done a little bit of nippers (junior surf life saving),cricket,aussie rules,rugby,surfing,motorcross and muay thai. i still play aussie rules and surf and the muay thai.

[ECKS]

Looks like we got some fellow ballers in here.. Good stuff , maybe we can hook up for a scrimage sometime if some of you guys are located in Sydney

[Floss]

played soccer for 12 years now so i must like that:P
mountain bike riding or bmx down at the jumps

Playstation 2 if that counts as a sport ?? :P

[Fisher]

Played basketball for 5 years when i was younger, recently stopped playing indoor soccer from a 5 year run also. And no, i didnt 'run' for 5 years harls.

[funjester]

Some guy, another sensational and life altering post there...

Before training I used to ride horses, a lot of cross country stuff mainly. There's just something about travelling at 60kms over all types of terrain on an animal that really you have no control over..

It seems a natural progression from b'ball to muay thai really, they both can be as brutal as each other!!

When in doubt, power out..

hey all

just a few quick posts from my italy leg on my honeymoon. i was an avid bball player in high school but stopped playing when i discovered MT. then moved to sydney and stopped training MT altogether and picked up bball again...i enjoy playing bball for the fitness side of things (cause i don't do any other excercise). i play scrimmages on friday nites down at the rocks if anyone wants to see how bad i am...

[ECKS]

Ah yeh berzerker , I'd probably know ur face if I saw you down there although I havnt been able to go for a while because of training...
Whats the level of competition down there like lately?

[Mojoman]

Played rugby union for most of my life. Started off as a centre, then got too big (6ft 4, 112kg) and had to move into the forwards.
Played all my junior rugby in NZ then in Syd playing for the Parramatta club. Last played a couple of seasons ago for Caloundra in Qld's Sunshine Coast and some rep games for the Qld Country team.

Also played grade cricket in NZ when I was younger.

I still play basketball but mainly playground, streetball stuff. I love BBall but I prefer the contact stuff like rugby, martial arts/boxing.

Nocturnal Aerobics is a good way to pass the time. PS2 is good when your injured and cant train.I've tried many other sports but Muay Thai is UNBEATABLE....

[muaythaimayhem]

Cricket, ended up playing for QLD country open side when I was 19 against a touring South African 1st class side - Western Province, was already under the influence of drink and women and never really looked back :), gave it away shortly after.
Once you start MT though, there ain't much time for anything else anyway if your serious about it, the training to be fit enough to use it takes up my whole week :)

[tdrury]

Use to play a bit of squash.

Getting into dirtbike riding and has been awesome.

Also Water sports, mainly water sking, but anything is good.
