Just got back from Fencing, showered (dah) and poured a glass of Sutter home-Pinot Noir (which is really good!) and wondered what sports does the SG users like to do?
as i said, i go fencing twice a week (amateur level~)
i swim when i'm not lazy, and i used to go horseback riding when i was younger... no time now.

what about you? added a poll, but i'm sure i forgot something.
are you professional in anything?

Edit: not many people entered the GA. all of you have the game? or didn't notice. hope you look better now

Edit 2: NEW GIB TRAIN!

Do I remember correctly that you're Israeli? Is fencing popular over there? I can't say I've ever known someone that fences (if it were offered around here, I'd be all over it).

Correct (check the Steam profile)

not very popular. we are more of a soccer nation. and some basketball. i don't think we have any Olympic fencer at the moment, more for sailing, tennis, Judo, and such.

I think I've heard that before.. but I can't get drunk (I know I'm weird) so I wouldn't know if that were a true statement. But I understand that for other people it depends on who they are. BTW I don't think it was the wine's fault. I think it's the internet's fault for not being able to convey tone or inflection. :D

Sprained it too many times in a too short time so the muscles are stretched/weakened which makes it even more vulnerable to spraining again..

Summer GP is when jumpers jump on "plastic grass" instead of snow :) Starts at the end of July and ends in October usually. (World Cup starts at the end of November, till end of March)
Calendar in pdf format is here:
http://www.fis-ski.com/inside-fis/document-library/ski-jumping/index.html#deeplink=calendar

BTW I will disappoint you... :( I'm not doing this sport unfortunately, but this one's my favorite. Only "sport" I do (it's not really a sport) is kung fu. :) One famous branch of it (Wing Chun). But it's a martial art, not a sport, that's why I didn't mention it.

Hope you don't get mad at me for this...um..."colored truth", and I don't get on your Blacklist LOL :)

first of all i stopped blacklisting. so you are safe.
and whomever gets "angry" because of whta you said should be blacklisted... it really bugs me that people keep "silent" in fear of being blacklisted. not you i'm angry about, but at those who blacklist like they own the site, i mean, you can leave if you want
enough ranting.

KUNG FU is an awesome sport! should have mentioned martial arts in the poll.
and i didn't know there is grass ski (i think i heard about it once but not sure). thanks for the explanation.

btw, added to my whitelist ;)

LOL I never thought you'd BL me ;)
Yeah, well, blacklisting is an easy way to feel powerful. Sometimes I'm not even sure whether somebody's joking about BL'ing or not. But if they're serious: Better this than kicking animals around the house to release stress and feel big. shrugs

And I think it's good you didn't mention martial arts. Some might start arguing about whether they are sport or not. I put my own vote on 'no' though, but won't feel offended if someone else says 'yes'...maybe when I'm in a grumpy mood LOL

There's different scales for the difficulty of climbing/boulder routes -> fb indicates french boulder, the scale my routes are measured on.

Comment has been collapsed.

It usually goes from 1 (piss easy) to 8 (extremely, awfully hard), but some really difficult in nature routes exceed that scale and can be done by only a few people. 6 is quite difficult, but nothing impossible with a little time - especially the muscles in the fingers and forearms need to develop before doing harder (5+) ones
