athletes?

[EmersonHerrmann]

Basketball. On the side I just work out a lot. (I really regret not wrestling in middle school, even the biggest jocks in school said I shoulda xD)

 

[eastamazonantidote]

Baseball. Biggest nerd on the team. Would play tennis except the sports are in the same season and baseball is more fun for me.

 

[CitricAcid]

Track
Soccer
Psycho Dog Jogging :fp

This is a bit random, but reading this immediately reminded me of something. When I was in Canada for TOS, I saw Emile's brother and he was really tall lol. I think he was about 6'7.

 

[Owen]

Jogging. Thats all.

 

[babyle]

I do cross country and track for my school. I use to play soccer in a separate league.

 

[ElderKingpin]

Hockey.

 

[Metroidam11]

cubing isn't an active sport. if it is, chess is. you don't train in cubing, you just cube and get better. there are no cubing drills. you don't run, work out, or jump to help with cubing faster. sport does have a stupid definition: Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. if cubing's a sport, anything's physical. so in my terms, and many other athletes, cubing isn't a sport.

Speak for yourself.

Both bolded lines. WTF are you thinking?

Maybe you are a casual cuber who just cubes because they can, but I know me and a lot of other people actually train so they can get better and faster at cubing.

And why isn't it a sport? Because no balls are involved? No tackling people?

Come on man, use your brain.

Edit: I second Anthony's post, speak for yourself.

I didn't know you had to run, work out, or jump to help you be a better golfer. I guess golf isn't a sport.

Chris! Those were horrible press ups! I see many people doing press ups like that. Your elbows should not be down to the side, they should be going out at a 90 degree angle if you want to work your chest properly.

I cube (still slow though)...and I also race motorcycles semi professionally. The two have quite a bit in common in terms of the mental approach. However, mistakes during a race tend to hurt a little more! (my avatar is me at Summit point...turn 10 at about 100mph dragging knee and boot!)

Here is a better picture:

Back when I didn't weigh 50 pounds more then I should at my age and height

I hate these people that judge people depending on size.
Why would you want to be like the 'average Joe'? There's nothing wrong with your weight. You don't see dogs going around making fun of the fat dogs, do you?

As far as I'm concerned, I used to do karate for 3 years. Tang su do. Brown belt.
Now, I just walk for about an hour every day, no matter the weather. (I've walked in snowstorms and hail, and on days when there was call for a tornado)
I don't consider the amount I put into cubing as a sport; I consider the amount of time I walk more of a sport than that, but still wouldn't consider that a sport.

I am over weight. I do not like how I look. So my 50 pounds over is what I want to loose. Not what the average Joe weighs.

 

[StachuK1992]

Ah. So long as it's a self-judgement thing, I understand to some degree.
I personally have given up trying to please others in an aesthetic sense.
