I like to play basketball

Sam Ritchie17:02:26

I’m out in Colorado and into all sorts of what I used to call “individual sports” :) climbing, ski mountaineering, trail running being the main things… I’m in a jiu jitsu phase now, which started because it’s SO HARD to get a good social group going with these other kinds of sports

Sam Ritchie17:02:31

https://hardrock100.com/ here’s my summer adventure… I’ve been trying to get into this crazy race since 2013!

I injured my back at university (weightlifting) and injured my knees later on (a season of off-piste monoskiing as I transitioned from regular skiing over to snowboarding, which wasn't as hard on my knees) -- so there's a lot of sport I haven't been able to do for about 30 years 😞

I enjoy the 'action' side of bicycles: downhill mountain biking, dirt jumps, street bmx. I have one bike for each. I'd describe it as a very intense way of experiencing nature / the outdoors 🙂 it also always has me self-improving, whether it's a new skill or base strength/mobility/health.

Y'all endurance folks are cray-cray! I have a couple of good friends who do ultramarathons and their idea of a vacation is to travel around the world running the various foot races -- I am impressed but just can't imagine doing it... 🤯

I help run sports data company, across football (both types) and basketball. More interested in ruining sports with stats than playing them though tbh. :)

Omar18:02:27

Started cycling again, was doing it a lot before but life changes and habits break. I'm now noticing enormous improvements with my ability to focus. Just did this quick lap after a meeting https://www.strava.com/activities/8604109733

Here in Utah doing snowboarding, hiking, running, and a little bit with the latest craze: pickleball.

timo19:02:28

I am endurance riding. Going for a 300km ride in may and currently preparing for it. @UHZPYLPU1 French divide is a tough one, haha

J19:02:45

@U4GEXTNGZ yeah a very good adventure! Good luck for you 300km! Not an easy distance

Thomas Moerman19:02:31

Cycling! :man-mountain-biking: 🚴 🚲 :flag-be:

Watching sports? 👎 🤷 Doing sports? 👍 🥋

William LaFrance20:02:08

I also enjoy all forms of cycling, from human-powered to 28V ebike to 125cc scooter to 650cc naked bike to 1100cc dressed tourer.

When I was in Singapore I got into dragon boat. It's the kind of thing that I would never thought I would like, paddle in a boat with 19 other people, doing the same movement over and over again

solf21:02:58

But I ended up loving it, both the sport itself and the camaraderie

Sam Ritchie22:02:46

Nice @U7S5E44DB !! I grew up racing sprint kayaks, we would do dragon boat races in the fall in DC on the Potomac

Charlot04:02:21

I'm hoping to get back into playing Capoeira. For spectator sports... Combat Robotics? NHRL over BattleBots.

slipset08:02:39

@U04V70XH6 I also have a monoskiing past. I’m currently in Chamonix with the kids, a place I spent five seasons at the end on the last millennium. Other than (telemark) skiing, I enjoy climbing, windsurfing, some skateboarding and cycling.

Zoltan Kalmar11:02:17

Road cycling, also bought a gravel bike recently

I'm too old and unfit to actually play sports nowadays. I think my knees would crumble

Anyone into skateboarding? (still landing some tricks) Or MotoGP (just watching it 😄 )

slipset19:02:49

I started skating some six or seven years ago. Been a bit unmotivated lately, but hoping to get some skating in once the snow clears

Windsurf here! Since I moved to a country with strong winds all year I've been practicing 😄

Ivar Refsdal11:02:47

I enjoy sports and using my body. Right now my wife and I have two small children and there is not that much time for it though, so this list is what I'd like to do if time allowed: climbing/bouldering (in door, all year), floorball (with colleagues), windsurf (summer) and running. I started bouldering about 6 years ago, pretty fun activity 🙂

kennytilton18:02:44

Lately? Tennis, bouldering, surf skiing, inline speed skating, and tai chi. I miss snowboarding, skiing, push hands, yuppie boxing, softball, and trad climbing. I'd kill for a place to play table tennis.
