Country:  | What do you play?
Just to help get this sports section going a bit more I thought I'd start a new topic, so, what sports do you enjoy playing? Do you represent any clubs? Ever made any money from the sports?
I myself play:-
Badminton (representing the school)
Table Tennis (representing the school)
Tennis (representing the school)
Cricket (representing the local club in some form or another for roughly 8 years)
I'll also occasionally have a kick around in a game of football (soccer) and have been doing a fair bit of cycling, and of course walking on the moor, so, what do you get up to?

Country:  | Foosball for fun, used to race BMX (in my younger invincible days), still run road races, usually 5K.
If it's a sport that requires a ball, that means I suck at it... Lack of aim, coordination, etc.
Fortunately, I can still aim firearms... | |

Country:  | I played a bit of hockey as a young fella, and a bit of soccer in junior high. Mostly I just frigged around with the guys after school and stuff. Once in a blue moon nowadays I'll get out on the lake with my nephew and his buds, but that's about it. Paintball every once in a while. I like to canoe too. | |

Country: | As far as fun things go, I play paintball, jog, go for the occasional surf, shoot archery and at the range fire several weapons of various calibre... I'm 6'6" (198.12 cm), 236 lbs (107 kilos or 16.85 stone) and have blonde hair and blue eyes.... I enjoy long walks through cool jungle airs, hand-holding, @ss-grabbing and hugs galore... Im an Aries with a tenderheart and an open mind.... I like kittens and flowers, and my secret goal is to be a hairdresser...
God... Just typing that crap gives me a headache..
