CanuckInUSA 0 #53 January 23, 2014 People who claim Motorsports is NOT a sport without ever having been in a race car (or Kart) driving at the limit on a race track during a race where you are doing everything you can to stay in front of the person behind you, while trying to pass the person in front of you and doing all of this without any contact. I would NOT say it is the "Ultimate Adrenaline Rush" especially in front of a community of Skydivers and BASE Jumpers. But if there ever was a group of people who might understand the adrenaline rush racers experience, you would think it would be jumpers.

quade 4 #56 January 23, 2014 Meso American Football. I know this is like complete blasphemy, and one may get burnt alive for saying such a thing in the U.S, but I love sports and have tried to get into 'Football' (the fake one, not the real original one with the round ball). But the game is just completely boring and frustrating. Stop/Start/Stop/Start/Stop/Start... JUST GET SOME FLUID ACTION FOR 5 MINUTES. I think there's also more adverts during the games than there is actual play, and the play that does happen it's people standing around getting into position for 3/4 of the game with 1/4 action. The difference between Soccer and Football is shown perfectly in the two posts. You will notice mine just went straight toward the goal.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think there's also more adverts during the games than there is actual play, and the play that does happen it's people standing around getting into position for 3/4 of the game with 1/4 action. There are plenty of sports that stop, start, stop, start, etc, etc, etc. In fact pretty much all team sports stop and start. I love Rugby, I used to play Rugby (Union rules). But you can't tell me that they don't stop and start in Rugby. American Football is a contact chess game. American Football is about trying to deceive the other team. It's about lining up making the other team think you are about to do this, when you really are intending on doing that. I am not saying American Football is the best sport. I like almost all sports, but it really comes down to "Do you care about the result of the game". If you don't care, it's easy to sluff off the game. But if you do care, it's easy to get caught up in every moment. However there is one thing about the big three American sports (Football, Baseball and Basketball) that is different for many other sports around the globe. The big three sports have plenty of TV commercial breaks. It's unfortunate, but it is what it is.

CanuckInUSA 0 #67 January 23, 2014 QuoteVersatile = boring I used to ski. It was cute. Skiing and Boarding both have their pros and cons. But skiing is way more versatile in terms of mountain access. I used to Ski Patrol in Lake Louise Alberta. There is no way in hell that you can properly do the job on a Board. To patrol you either need to be on skis or be on a snowmobile.
