Kick back and relax. Anything that does not have to do with footbag goes here!

Do you suck at mainstream sports?

I suck at basketball, baseball, hockey, tennis, soccer, volleyball, running and swimming. The only big sport I'm halfway decent is in football. I think this is part of the reason I started playing footbag.

Eh, I'm not bad but I don't play them really When I play baseball I spin at bat, but that's partially because it's so f'n fun. Most times if I'm playing sports there was some kind of inibriation involved before hand. So I actually probably really suck.


*edit* Oh I used to play lacrosse. I was actually really good at that but it got boring after a while so I just stopped. I'm a quitter.

I'd like to think I'm pretty athletic...


I'm decent at basketball, football, and volleyball. My size and poor stamina kept me from even seriously considering joining any teams in h/s though.

I am very good at soccer, all positions, except defence.
I'm kinda average at basketball, I throw accurate shoots, I have a great jump, but I need more courage :).
Running - quite good, I'm doing morning runs sometimes 8).

I don't play other sports really.

Well... Actually, in american football, I was a good defensive dude... After all.. I'm a big guy... :D. I was determined to do something, and I did... So I was ok at that... Otherwise... I'm not all that good.. Can't shoot b-ball worth a damn, can't skate... I did like vollyball though...

im pretty good at basketball. im tall so i block the crap out of everyone, i have a mean hookshot, and have pretty good acuracy from down town. i used to play soccer and was good, im still good at defense (not golie) when we play at school. dont really like football but i can intercept/block passes. pretty sucky at vollyball. good at floor hockey. rule at kickball (got the ball stuck in the cealing twice, and have broken a light). dodgeball is awsome, i lay low and attact when they dont see it coming. im the best in my school at footbag (which isnt saying much). thinking of other sports....im done.
Every man has their technique, and they are all different......when you know mine.....youll be dead.

I used to be decent in soccer, but then I quit and haven't played in 7 years, so I suck and my stamina is crap. I had a stress test done yesterday and could only run uphill for 11 minutes. that could possibly be because I couldn't breathe cause the nurse wrapped my chest up so tight...
