Title: Whats your sport?
Post by: Spud395 on November 10, 2012, 08:34:03 PM
What we all have in common is beer, sometimes I like to earn my beer.

At the minute (and for the last few years) mountain biking is my main sport. I know there is at least 1 other biker on here a long distance walker and fuck knows what else.

Whats anyone else into to help with the belly or the thirst?

I've a few marathons under my belt of late but I actually start using my size properly tomorrow (I'm 6'7" and 17.5 stone) playing American football. 

Otherwise, I love watching rugby and GAA

Had a mini ramp out the back for a few years untill the weather took it  ::) Planning a concrete one next year, not so much for me (but I will use it a bit) but the kids all skate, the eldest is a bit of a beast (in his own words)

Last 8 years cycling (without crashing and nearly dying, I nearly did a few times) & running. formerly enjoyed marathon running, rugby for school and gaa  underage for the dubs but those buckers drove me out of  it.  Now I barely go to croke park and spend most of my time following les bleus, cycling or running if I'm not brewing. I'm also probably a semi alcoholic .

We're in a hobby where we all think that at times! I was in a waiting room recently and there was a "are you an alcoholic?" flyer there.  One of the questions asked "do you enjoy drinking by yourself?", I thought, yeah, sometimes, if its a good beer - so apparently I'm Frank from Shameless.

Nice history lesson Rossa, gaa during my teens. Progressed to whitewater kayaking for my twentys and early thirties. Got on two wheels in my early thirties (grasstrack and mountain bike) Mostly mountain bike now as I said and occasionally looking like a fool in the surf.

All followed by pints  ;D

Got a Dusters cruiser a few months ago, then a zip zinger for the parks and just treated myself to a self birthday pressie the other week, my new pride and joy, a 1986 Gator Vision re-issue, it is THE beast. Been surfing North and West Donegal since i was 14 aswell but dont get out much as i'd like, have 2 7' mini mals and a 5'5 shorty for "feelin brave" days haha
