[Closed] gimme 5 sports ur good at.

Smee has asked to me to remind you all that he is THE best at any sport mentioned by anyone on this thread.

Right as you were everyone...

By the power of the internet I am [i]that[/i] much better than everyone at almost anything I choose to be!

I chose mountain biking as I'm completely sh1t at all team sports!

Skiing, Squash, Pool, and I am pretty solid at Dirt Biking, but cant find a 5th and in fairness my 4th is borderline 🙁

1: Midget throwing
2: Cheese rolling
3: Bar Skittles
4: Shin kicking
5: Gurning......

These I excell at....all others Im just average.

1. XC
2. Freeride
3. DH
4. Freeride Lite
5. Welshcore Unnatural XC in the rain

*shines "Surf-Mat" torch into sky*

I will word this carefully. I would be fairly confident that i am better than average at:
cricket
football
cycling
skiing
sprinting

however, compared to anyone who does these regually I am, at best, average.

I like to think of myself as jack of all trades and master of none. What these trades are, I don't know 😥

Reading.
Googling
Starting things and then taking shortcuts when realising too hard.
Stomach expanding
Underarm odour creation

Compared to the average, I seem to be inherently fairly good at:

Sprinting
Swimming
Bike handling
XC skiing

Compared to the average joe in the street I am good at

Swimming
Squash
Cycling
Table tennis
Sprinting

At school I was good at

Athletics (except distance running and throwing)
Basketball
Volleyball
Tennis
Rugby

I've no idea if I am better than others who've trained a lot at anything 🙂

I don't do, but reckon I would be good at:

Track cycling
Martial arts
Skiing/Snowboarding

I am crap at (despite having done):

Rock climbing (due to nerves and weight, my technique is pretty good)

Climbing, Long distance running, table tennis, Muay Thai, I'd like to say XC but i'm not that good, just very passionate.

1. Sleeping (ok, not a sport recognised internationally, but it _can_ be a team sport)
2. Target shooting (rifles)
3. Target shooting (pistols)
4 Basketball ('cos I is tall)
5. Eating chilis, which is an extreme sport. Trust me on that.

Oh I am quite good at shooting it turns out too.

I can run. In my yoof, it was suggested to me that I wasn't a complete failure at bowling (cricket), shame it's so ****ing dull.

Er, that's about it.

I'm a try-athlete.

Involves a lot of trying.

[b]Good at:

Martial arts
Weights/circuits
Surfing and swimming (open water only - hate pools)
Climbing on an MTB/road bike
Running (10k off road preferred)

[b]Okay at:[/b]

Other aspects of MTBing

Many other things

1. Football
2. mountain Biking
3. Shooting (Rifle, both small bore and full bore, ex Air Cadet Bisley team member)

Shooting & pool aren't sports - now way Jose

Simple test....
If you can do them smoking a pipe & wearing a hat, they ain't sports

There you go, leisure cycling isn't a sport - I rest my case 🙂

mefty got there first but if smoking and trying to give up smoking were sports I'd be a pro

Competing in a 24 hour time trial apparently!

1. Quiting things after I've barely started trying.
2.

A wise man once said to me:

"Always wear a t-shirt for a sport other than the one you're doing at the time. That way people might think you're good at [i]something[/i]"

I follow this dictum religiously.

Shooting - U21 European Air-Pistol Champion many many moons ago. I found pistol shooting just came natural to me. Won quite a few competitions over the years and really enjoyed it. First time I walked into my local club I posted a 92ex100 card and it just got better and better. Also Staffs champ at air-rifle and shot for GB in Practical Pistol. But as many will say - it's debatable if shooting is a sport but I always will say it is hehe

Nothing else I've ever competed in at a higher level but I was captain of school cricket team, scrum half for the school team at Rugby Union and competed for Staffs at athletics (100m & 200m plus relay).
I've no desire to compete in any bike riding events as I enjoy it purely as a hobby. Had enough of the serious side of competing with shooting and don't want that ever again thank you.

1. Bedroom Olympics 😉

2. Golf, used to play off scratch and did some county stuff as a junior

I was amazing at blowing smoke rings when I smoked. People could hold their finger a few yards away and within a few clicks of my jaw, I'd fire one right on to it.

Riding a Bike
Chess
Draughts
Tiddly Winks
Pool

Rugby
American Football,
Fives

Fives - which one?

I enjoy:

Cycling
Swimming
Football
Canoeing (Haven't done it for years mind)
Struggling with a fifth one...

Not really bothered if I'm any good at any of them. I just enjoy them.

Other sports I've tried and enjoyed are:

Target shooting (rifle; apparently I'm a 'natural' according to some Norwegians)
XC Ski-ing (If I lived somewhere like Norway I'd do this all winter)
Potholing/caving
Climbing and abseiling type shit
Used to really enjoy table tennis and pool at college and uni
Bit of XC running but then got bored and just gave it up.
Squash
Badminton

Sports I've done but didn't really enjoy much:

Cricket (could bowl ok, but no good at batting, and the rest is just utterly boring)
Rugby (Just used to end up fighting all the time and inflicting pain on big lumps who I'd then run away from, fast)
Basketball (Doesn't help if you're not lanky)

Tennis is ok in summer speshly if there are pretty girls around and you don't take it too seriously.

Fishing is relaxing with a couple of mates and a few beers on a nice day. Can't stand maggots though.

Golf is ok, but I can't understand why so much time, effort and money is wasted on a leisure activity for middle aged men who are crap at everything else.

Oh, hang on...

I was amazing at blowing smoke rings when I smoked. People could hold their finger a few yards away and within a few clicks of my jaw, I'd fire one right on to it.

Now that is something to be truly proud of.

I'm the current reigning west Woking jammy dodger eating champion...... Whether this makes me above average is hard to quantify as it is a self awarded title, where I was the only competitor... But until challenged the title is mine mwahaha, mwahahahaha

Ou and I can tie a knot in a piece of string in my mouth just using my tongue......

the 'average joe' is likely to be a lazy sofa master
