What's your favorite sport besides skydiving?

but dumpster diving ;) is a lot of fun too if you know what I mean.



Wow, that brought back a flood of memories from my past...:)

My other favorite sport has to be racquetball. Especially no-holds-barred combat racquetball.

Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds. Guaranteed reaction- Dave Sonsky

Motocross for sure!!
I remember in High School the guidance counselor asked me what I wanna be and I replied “Professional Motocross Racer, you know just like Jeremy McGrath and Jeff Emig”
She looked at like I was kidding, then wrote something down in her little clipboard... Damn Beach doesn't wanna encurage a student to follow their dreams...

As for the dream coming true, I got to old for the 80 class and sold my bike, 'cept I never had enough to buy myself a 125 :(

I'm pretty lucky cause I live 2 minutes away from Canada's largest Motocross National and turned out to become it's webmaster :)

I climb when not skydiving. Nothing major, mainly sport. I've done only 1 of the 7 summits. It wasn't listed. I raced superbikes before skydiving, and have a 30 year martial arts habit.. mainly Wing Chun, Hungar and Shaolin long fist.

Im doing my first 4 miler marathon race this month




Just curious, Freebird, what's a "4 miler marathon"? Is it a team relay where you only have a 4 mile segment each?


My favorite sports other than skydiving are hiking, biking, & running...but I don't get out to do those much anymore since starting jumping!

Before I started jumping I was heavy into wakeboarding.

I haven't wakeboarded in a while but I'm still very much into other sports besides skydiving:

SCUBA DIVING
I love repelling (don't really care much for climbing, but I'll do it)
Kayaking
Deep-Sea fishing

I do at least one of these every month...so pretty frequently. I LOVE adventures

;)

Skydiving is GREAT and BY FAR is the best thing I do, but I can only get down to the DZ every weekend...in the afternoons or in bad weather, I can always do something else:P

Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Wooo Hoooo! I played Varsity V-ball all through HS, even had a scholarship (which I didn't take) to play in college. I was a hitter (spiker to those of you who don't play). Gabby Reece kicks bootie and she's beautiful when she does it, too!:P

I don't play much anymore, but I live on the beach and in the summer we set up a net and play once in a while. I love it, and yes, I grunt when I spike and serve. Ha ha ha!:P

Karate! :)
Going to give moring classes at the dz when the summer comes.
Been thinking about combining the sports. Freefalling kata competition would be a challenge:P

Used to play raquetball.

Nowadays, it's Cross-Country Skiing in the Winter and Skydiving in the Summer.

I don't really have another favorite sport, but I'd love to try Skeleton.

Bob


Well after 6 years of both Bobsled & skeleton, I have to admit Skeleton is pure fun and safer.
I just got a scaner for X-mas: here's a pic of me just leaving turn 6 a little late on exit=one runner 1/2 way to turn 7.
