Swimming, Tennis, Soccer, Volleyball, Firespinning (ok not really a sport, but it is exhausting), rollerblading, and more.

I'm out and about a lot. :mrgreen:

that was a blast.

and i used to skate - but a pretty bad injury slowed my "dangerous" skating to a stop.
but i do still roll around a bit to keep the blood flowing.

Americans call it soccer for a reason -> they have American football :P:P

But yes, I got new season to my gym progress (it is third season already...it lasts somewhere from end July til start on June, about 10 months total)...as for the boxing, I have been recommended to start training from that point myself, however I cant do it at full session...had bad head injury 15 months ago...every time I get heavy hit to the head...I get concussion most likely :(

Summers...a lot of time on the road with bike...last year was on the bike about 100 hrs total, this year going for at least 150 :P...

Furthermore: KEEP POSTING ABOUT YOUR SPORTS ACTIVITES :D :D

I played American football in college for 4 years, and basketball too (although only on the practice team). After that, i really got into rugby so that's a solid committment 3 days a week (aren't club sports wonderful?). Aside from that, i try to do as many outdoor stuff as i can, i generally wakeboard once a week and try to get several whitewater rafting and mountain climbing trips in each summer. My dad's a big swimmer, so i've been trying that out too lately, finally figured out how to turn my head without inhaling a bunch of water lol. Also, i tried tennis for the first time the other day, which is quite a lot of fun when you return a serve without hitting the ball 3 courts over :lol:

I stay pretty active when work allows it, otherwise i just sit around playing A.T. on my phone.

I do plenty of hiking, camping, hunting, rock climbing and skydiving.

Now what I do for the most part is a sort of Hunger Games-like sport where a group of us jump separately into a closed area with one pack each and must find and "kill" the others.

Regular "sports" are just boring when you deal with toxic levels of adrenaline for several days on end.

Can someone enlightin me, why is it called american football when you throw the ball, its only kicked once if it's a touchdown if I'm correct :?:

Because rugby was taken?
The ball gets kicked at the kickoff, for the extra point after a touchdown, and for a field goal if a touchdown is not possible... There might be other times when it's kicked, I never played american football and don't watch it, so I'm far from expert... Imho, it's just rugby with more rules :)
