Sports

[Chainsy]

I thought this thread would be amusing to see some of modacity's members being athletic, instead of, well, you get the picture.So post whar sports you participate, or have participated in.

Me, wrestling, I love it, Im the one in blue:

Not a massive fan of grappling sweaty men, but I do like to play soccer and basketball.

[Chainsy]

Actually, if they sweat too much the ref calls timeout and makes them wipe off.

[TeeKup]

That's perhaps the only sport I like, besides soccer.

[Roostervier]

Football and track.

Ah ok.

Well I'm not a fan of grappling recently toweled off men.

Quick question, why do you wear that like cap? Doesnt seem strong enough to be used as a helmet, is it to protect the other persons hand if they accidentally hit you in the head?

[armoman92]

swimming

[Ifafudafi]

[Heathen]

Nothing.

I would post a pic but I don't have any.

[jcap]

Soccer.

Football too, but not on any real team.

You're right, we have to work out our necks everyday so we don't break them while wrestling, but dangerous slams are prohibited, its to protect the ears when in headlocks, because after a while you can develop hearing problems plus cauliflower ear, which basically makes your ear swell up in a grotesque manner that will eventually pop and ooze out lots of blood.

[Cojafoji]

Football, weight lifting, Pep Band. You get the picture? If you do, you win a cookie.

Yeah, you get cauliflower ears in rugby too :)

I dont understand the rules to wrestling either, sumo yes, you just gotta get the guy out of the ring, but regular is more technical.

Jcap, what position do you play? :)

Its alot simpler then you think, as long as the move puts no pressure on joints in a threatening way, or promotes major harm, its legal, the whole point is to get the man on his back, 3 ways to win are by pin, points or technical fall. To pin simply get both of your opponents shoulder blades on the mat for 2 seconds. The way to win by points, is by take down, which is getting the player on the ground and having obvious control of them, which is 2 points, escapes, which are worth 1 point and is just you getting out of a takedown or hold, and then back points, when you have the opponent on hisback but only one or neither of his shoulder blades are touching the mat, if the match lasts the whole 6 minutes, 3, 2 minute periods, then the person with the most points win. Then finnally, technical fall, tech fall for short, is the worse way to lose, basically if you get 15 points ahead of the other player before the 6 minutes are up you get a techfall which is an automatic win.

[Syuusuke]

Volleyball and

whats that kid doing in the first pic?

hehe im sorry but i have a dirty mind, but its all thanks to your posts man =/

[DarkHalo003]

Swimming and Lacrosse. Swimming is the best conditioning/tough-as-hell sport out there and Lacrosse is purely awesome.

[HDoan]

Basketball, badminton, cross country, and volleyball.

[BobtheGreatII]

*cough* Tennis *cough*


No seriously... it's a sport guys, don't pick on me. :gonk:

[Bodzilla]

Did: diving, soccer, swimming, running, athletics in general, discus, long jump, high jump canoeing cricket and soccer for 10 years.
also footy, all types.

Dont do anything these days though, too lazy and i like my weekends being free.
Plus work is just like weight lifters in disguise.

i calculated one day (on the buisiest day or most draining day that we had in a fair whie) how many kilo's of weight i'd picked up, moved, pushed or pulled.

it was around
52 tonnes.
get ya head around that.

i have been doing running though, just a km run every so often.

[Mr Buckshot]

Not in any sports teams, but I can play ultimate frisbee, soccer, ping pong, badminton, and I'm interested in learning ice hockey (the ultimate Canadian sport).

Over the summer holidays, I've gone swimming, kayaking (lots of places to that in BC :P), ice skating, bowling, and rock climbing (on fake walls).

I'm not particularly athletic, I mean I'm quite fit at my age (not fat, not skinny) but I'm not the stellar student in PE class or anything.

[p0lar_bear]

Never actually did sports in high school, though I like to play (term used loosely) baseball.

[SnaFuBAR]

Knife throwing, archery, shooting, kayaking, weight lifting, bike riding, running (usually on a rock reef at low tide or up and down cliff faces).

Mostly into marksmanship since I can consciously control my heart rate down to near 35 bpm. Makes for a better shot.

[Huero]

running (usually on a rock reef at low tide or up and down cliff faces).

cliff faces?
you defy gravity, sir.

[SnaFuBAR]

Palos Verdes, where the cliff incline is like.... 70 or 80 degrees.

[SnaFuBAR]

52 tonnes.

Sounds like a normal day as a stock worker, and being the only man on shift. :party:

We'z badass, M8!

[Cortexian]

Down Hill or Trail biking... Here's a picture of myself before (or after, don't remember) a trail ride:

Was at a family reunion a couple years ago.

I also hunt and off-road, usually at the same time... And most of the time we end up scaring off the animals cause we're like "Hmmm, sitting here doing nothing waiting for deer is boring..." *looks at Jeep* "Well, lets go see if we can't find a better spot that no one's been to eh?" "Sounds good..." *causes chaos*.

(We crossed that river behind us... After getting stuck and having to switch into 4xlow... Should have seen the look on my dads face when I got his brand new Jeep stuck half way in the middle of a river)

(Look at all 'dem trees in 'dat valley behind the Jeep... Drove up the cliffy hill behind the Jeep after exploring said valley for about a day)

Hows dat for you Snaf? I think it was you that was all "OMGjeepHARDON" last time we talked.

[Syuusuke]

No, I meant the kid on the floor.

[Chainsy]

Towel girl, hits referee on the back of the head with the thing she is holding when each 2 minute round ends.

[Syuusuke]

That'd be a nice sport.

[blind]

Used to play Football, used to play basketball a lot.
Now mostly just pickup football games and bmx.

[Atty]

I used to play Baseball, only sport I played on an orginizied team for, and won first place in our division. Then I'm also an avid weight lifter and working towards becoming a personal trainer.

Beyond that I've never been part of a team but I love to play and am fairly good at: Volleyball (my best sport), soccer, and football. On occasion I play basketball but only being 5'10 I'm no where near decent :-\. I ain't got that jump. I also love to go hunting, biking (off road or trail), and do anything else outdoorsy.

Also, to feed the jeep hardon committee, these are from when I was in staying at the cabin in West Virginia a week or two back:

No seriously... it's a sport guys, don't pick on me. :gonk:
I decently played tennis once. I grew in a year and I hit it over the fence from that point on without even trying. Don't pick on me neither. :gonk:

@Freelancer: Nice scenery. I wish I had some stuff like that here where I live in Georgia. But it's mainly woods and cowpastures or cities near me.

@Freelancer/Atty: Nice Jeeps. I'd like to have one one day.

[cheezdue]

Ive never participated in any sports :\. But I do like playing soccer, baseball, and a couple of other sports with my friends at times.

Its not that hard to hit a tennis ball over the fence.. you need to have control to play.

[DarkHalo003]

No, I mean, I've tried getting control. I can't. I've tried hitting it with the same control I had before, when I was decent at it. Now I can't. Anyways, I got bored with the sport after a few years of playing, which was about when I lost control of controlling my hit strength, so I moved to swimming and lacrosse. I'm content with both sports.

Muscle memory :(

My muscles changed and I got lazy. :gonk:

I also hated playing Tennis after the 3rd year playing it. I just didn't like it anymore.

What's the model of the one on the right? I can't really tell but it looks like a Wrangler Unlimited X like the red one but with less awesome.

Noice winch and wheels yo. What kinda winch is that? My dad is looking at getting on + snorkel for our Jeep... Possibly a lift kit in the future, but we haven't come across anything that the Unlimited Rubicon can't handle.

Your not a fag that has the uConnect GPS bullshit in a Jeep are you?

[English Mobster]

Athletics?
If you count moving your fingers as being athletic, I am probably the best at it.

[Mr Buckshot]

I kid, I kid... Basketball here.

(off topic) video games that simulate normal sports like basketball are fail IMO, especially since it's relatively easy to do the real thing in real life. I never play those games, not when my school offers adequate facilities for the real deal (end off topic)

I'm still thinking of doing ice hockey but first I need to improve my ice skating skills =.=

[English Mobster]

I can't skate... I fall.

[p0lar_bear]

video games that simulate normal sports like basketball are fail IMOYou play a sports video game to take on the role of your favorite player or team and guide them to victory, or make your own and pit them against your least favorite team (and subsequenly wipe the floor with them), not to replace a real world experience. If you have that mentality regardless of if you're bashing it or supporting it, you need to step back and rethink things. The only way you would ever be truly able to "replace" sports is if you create a system like the Matrix where players are put into an unconscious state and their brains are uploaded into a computer where they play it out in there.

What people forget is that video games are supposed to sort of fulfill fantasies that are unattainable to the average schmo, be it playing in the NBA or fighting aliens, and/or pick at your brain.

NBA 2k basketball games are awesome.

It's relatively easy to play basketball, but to be good at it is another thing.

Also.

Basketball, Weightlifting, Martial Arts and Football.

[Syuusuke]

I can't skate... I fall.
FigureIce skating is fun. Doing those fucking moves..auggh

Unless you mean skateboarding, but that's fun too =D

So is good ol' rollerblading.

[Roostervier]

I didn't know everyone was including weight lifting. You can include that with football and track then, for me.

Your not a fag that has the uConnect GPS bullshit in a Jeep are you?Both the same except the one on the right is with stock rubber bands over it's wheels :p. The other one is on 35'' Nitto Mud Grappler Extreme Terrain MTs. Forget what kind of winch it is, came stock on the jeep, also, no GPS in it. If we get lost it's cause we wanted to get lost.

Hm, the tires on our Jeep in the pics I posted were the stock ones when we got it but they're way more Off-Roady... Must be a Rubicon vs X thing?

Know what the poundage is?


also, no GPS in it. If we get lost it's cause we wanted to get lost.
Good, ur not a Jeep fag.

[STLRamsFan]

I'm a distance runner, love to do road races during the spring and summer. I rarely do races during the Winter time because cold races are not much fun at all. While it's cold, I still train and am in even better shape than when the Summer ended after tweaking my training schedule a bit. Although running in -5 degree weather is NOT fun. :gonk:
