OT - What other sports do you do? 18-Jun-2013 At 2:43:26 PM f_abe

It’s only sport if you can die. Everything else is just a game.
For what it’s worth, other than climbing I
- Do track days on my motorbike, with the odd gauntlet dodging road ride thrown in
- Dabble in a bit of soft core esky lidding (but tell all my mates I’m into surfing)
- Take more and more chicken lines on mountainbike tracks as my body refuses to bounce as well as it used to, as well as use the bike for the daily commute
- Grow veggies (if you want to see a competitive ‘sport’, go check out the ‘giant veggie’ competition at any small town show)
Team sports were never my thing, something I see in common with most climbers I know (but probably not telling anyone anything they don’t know there). To quote a prominent ex-Adelaidian hard man “I used to be a social retard, then I took up climbing...” or words to that effect.
