UdeLakeTom Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Winter...luge or bobsleding...I have always liked the rush on a tobboggan or sled going down steep hills...Can't ski though. Summer...Baseball or track. Same rush running, but not long distances and I don't run anymore. But then short legs kinda put a cramp on sprinting.

Ahhh a risk taker at heart huh Lisa. do you like carnival rides too. Badminton, another very fun game - The white water kayaking is pretty cool, but I went with the sports that I grew up with.

reelemin Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 summer - high jumpwinter- down hill skiing/ or the one when they shoot and cc ski The High Jump, hmmm - never would have thought that would be picked. Good one though. How about - ohhh whats it called - steeple something, I think. The one where there is 3 differents kinds of jumping and ending with the long jump ??The Biathlon, very good one.

reelemin Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Volleyball and softball Volleyball is a good choice for you Teresa, long legs and all. Softball, slow pitch or fast pitch ? I know they inly have fast-pitch in the Olympics, but slow-pitch has always been my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reelemin Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Winter I love the bobsled Sumer I'll go with Girls Volleyball and Men's Basketball. Bobsled - alot of fun, but looks wicked as heck. 2 man or 4 man ? And I think you've gotten enough razing on the womens volleyball thing so I'll leave that alone.

harvey lee Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Boxing---I boxed Golden Gloves and If I ever might have been lucky enough to be that good, it would have been fun.I know, thats why I am the way I am, to many shots to the head.

But I still wouldn't mind making the girls sand volleyball team!! And never underestimate how good I'd look in speedos and sports top. I'll still stick with bobsled, probably two man.
