Ah I forgot wake boarding as well tongue.gif <33 that
Never tried surfing yet but I want to eventually, tried water skiing once but I couldn't do it lol, didn't like being strapped in.



It's easy once you get up. Kinda scary though when you're skimming along at 40, then suddenly realize what would happen should you take a biff XD

    Ah forgot about lacrosse! Fun stuff- never been on a team, but I have lacrosse-crazed friends who've taught me the game. Oh! Left out surfing too! I'm pretty fond of surfing, wake boarding, water skiing, all that stuff.


    Damn, is there a sport you don't play. Hah, seems like every sport you play, your amazing at.

    That's awesome. Wish I could do more hiking and camping, but school kinda gets in the way =/


    Just wait for uni, you'll have all the time in the world tongue.gif

    Been there, done that! Not fun at all. I'm a natural sprinter, so it took a while to learn how to run distance, but I've improved a lot.


    Nice one! I haven't actually ran track since school so like 2 years ago? I prefer to run with more of a purpose now... ie ultimate tongue.gif I could (possibly) run further distances now although since i've been training hard for ultimate i'm still a lot better at burst sprinting than long distance!

    Scary part for me is just knowing I'm strapped into those skis tongue.gif If I happen to fall hard my leg will probably snap in half sad.gif lol

    You're one of these people that does everything and is good at it all too eh!! I actually learnt a bit of surfing as i have a house in Jersey, they have massive tidal shifts so we get some decent waves quite often biggrin.gif I prefer body boarding though, way easier!



    Good at it? lol I try to be, but it doesn't always work like that sad.gif I like body boarding too lol- I honestly don't find surfing much harder, though.

    Guess i have balance issues lol, if i spent more time in Jersey i would probably be able to get pretty good, sadly i only go over for about 6 weeks in a year or so, and only like 2 weeks of those are at a time when the sea wouldn't be cripplingly cold!

    Long distance rocks, dude! It's my drug! I love a good 3 mile to relax in the evenings. I feel so free when I'm out there.

    Never said I was amazing at 'em lol. Most things do come naturally, but it's frustrating! It seems like my 'gifts' are spread over so many fields, that there's no one thing that I'm really good at. I'm just mediocre at a bunch of little things lol.

    You might not have said your amazing at the things, but that stuff right there, like competing for city titles are pretty amazing to me. I'd rather be good at a lot of things and just one thing in my opinion.

    Yea, I ran while smoking weed, but it was like a festival and shit, not my kind of thing but most of my friends were there. I ran like a mile back to my tent to sleep, after i had smoked like the entire night. I was flipping out and thought shit was gonna come out of the woods.It was pretty funny though, i was soaked to cuz it was raining.

    Bodybuilding - Got up to 240 lbs with less than fifteen percent bodyfat.

    That's about it, really. And some would discredit that because I went on an AAS cycle to actually get to there. I haven't bothered bulking up again yet. I'm going to starting October, and I'll probably gain 20 pounds of muscle from that.

    At the time, i thought i was gonna die, but the next day, it was pretty cool. The only problem was the music at the festival played at like 5 am, so i had like a hour of sleep.
