I do find surfing dull to watch, yes. It might be fabulously hard and wonderful to achieve but to watch? Meh. Swish, swish, swish, that's about it. I am a fan of mtbing too but it's also dull telly.

Road cycling - Just soooo dull.
A 6hr transitional stage of the TdF can be as dull as ditchwater apart from the last 3km. But watching the Tour Down Under was ace and a mountain stage of the TdF can be nail-biting.
Cricket and golf are the two most boring sports that are on regularly. Bowls and curling are well up there in the thoroughly dull stakes too.

I find a good way to test if a tv sport is truly boring is to watch it with the sound off - some commentators can spice it up a bit and others just confirm your thoughts.
Some interesting responses - never thought cricket would feature as often!

Cricket
Rugby
FootballNothing to do with some people's bizarre class notions, just that I don't find any of them interesting - and the notion that I would spend time watching overpaid halfwits for pleasure..........

Gav you old skater yes it is
you dont see any of the nuances you describe on film it all happens to quick. In photos its a differnt matter. There you can see foot placement, where the rail is, the stance etc. If you watch 10 minutes of pipe or Teahupo'o you will be comatose. After the initial "Ohmygod" look at the size of that thing it is all the same drop bottom turn run like a loon for the shoulder. Seeing people like Shawn Briley deliberatly pulling in to get munched is always fun but he is a rare breed.

Winter Olympics coming up.
How about the Luge (Going down an icy slope on a tea tray).
Curling (Lots of Scottish and Canadian persons looking serious with a broom).
Biathlon (XC Skiing & rifle shooting) Pointless pursuit unless you are in the Russian Army.Posted 2 years ago # -

I have to agree, football should be put into room 101, and then the room should be ejected from Planet Earth with a radio signal, in every conceivable language permanently broadcasting a proclamation of utter boredom and ineptitude if anyone is stupid enough to remove Football from this cage floating in outer space.

Football can be great. You can't say that half the nation would have their hearts in their mouths during penalty shoot-outs in an intrinsically boring sport... The 4-yearly spectacle has to be the most nerves I've ever felt whilst not being in mortal danger, and I'm not even a football fan
The problem with it is the likelihood of boring league games is quite high, which is a shame.
And I love curling. Tense, exciting, tactical.. just because it's fashionable to bash minority sports doesn't mean their actually bad.

3) anything that takes 4-5 days to produce 'a draw'
Cricket is the only game where a draw can be an exciting result. I maintain anyone with an understanding of the concept of sport could not have failed to get excited during the Cardiff Ashes match which was a spectacular draw

How about the Luge (Going down an icy slope on a tea tray).
Pulling 7G at 140km/h and crashing with only some lycra to protect you.
Yeah, dull

You can make any sport sound rubbish by using suitably derogatory language. I mean, who the hell would want to get on a bike and struggle through mud for four hours just to ride round in a big bloody circle? What a waste of time!

Rugby (Boot it out to touch, penalty, boot it out to touch, penalty, kick for goal and repeat)
Ten pin bowling (Bowl, strike, bowl, strike, bowl strike, bowl one pin left standing, bowl hit it and repeat)
F1 (Lap, lap, lap, lap, overtake, lap, lap, lap, lap, pit, lap, lap, zzzzzzz and repeat)

any 3 that is not rugby or football.

Mountain Biking
Surfing
TriathlonThe first two I do and the third I'm training to do one, but to sit down and watch them? No way José

I fully understand the concept of sport and how 5 day cricket match can end in a draw. I just don't find it interesting to watch
Meanwhile, I love watching football, especially when my favourite third division team comes up against the overpaid primadonnas of the Premier League and matches, or better still, beats them!
MOT!

Rugby (Boot it out to touch, penalty, boot it out to touch, penalty, kick for goal and repeat)
20 years ago when wathing England, maybe. Now it's mostly tackle, recycle, throw it around, tackle, break, run, score! Exciting

Darts is TV gold - fat sweaty athletes, pissed up crowd, wideboy commentators. Darts was made for TV. TV was made for darts.

Biathlon (XC Skiing & rifle shooting) Pointless pursuit unless you are in the Russian Army.
I can only assume you've never watched it properly - or maybe only watched the individual (which is a time trial and the most boring form), as you're so wrong! Your comments about the Russian army would tend to back that up, given there's only one Russian in the current top 10. I challenge you to watch a mass start or a pursuit and find it boring.Not like I even compete in Biathlon - or am ever likely to. I do compete at a low level in XC skiing, and if you'd put that down as a boring sport to watch then I wouldn't argue at all, since a lot of the races are about as boring to watch as a cycling time trial - even the mass starts aren't exactly a thrill a minute. But biathlon is totally different. Got a satellite dish for Eurosport to watch the cycling, but the dish has been U/S for most of the summer - only got round to fixing it in time for the biathlon season.

Biathlon could be made far more exciting if they had to ski and shoot at each other or a Britsh agent armed only with a handgun.
