Weird sports you like?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: ponyboy

Are you a fan of any sport that is a little different or pseudo sport like poker and actually watch it or follow it regularly? There are many examples:

skateboarding
motocross
lumberjack competitions
aussie rules football
darts
snooker/pool
bull riding

I'm a fan of triathlon but that's because I do it myself. Same with running or track and field. Anyone have some weird ones like horseshoes or show jumping?

Spin the bottle is my favorite.

well i don't participate in any sports at the moment, but i used to race as part of a dragon boat racing team. That was a blast.

Other non-standard sports I like, but don't participate in:

yes, those lumberjack things

Obstacle course competitions

Slamball (that basketball game where the court is made up of these giant trampolines!)

Oh and, does MXC on Spike TV Count? Most Extreme Elimination Challenge?

My vote goes to a good old fashioned game of Naked Twister

Oh yeah! The voice overs on that are the best - and the top 10 eliminations at the end are always hilarious!

I haven't been tuning in since I've been going to bed so early lately, but man, I used to watch this show ALL THE TIME, and the marathons on weekends sometimes---so many hours sucked right out of my life. What a great show!

Used to love playing it in the park.

I like the lumberjack one where they have a 50 ft pole and need to hit it with an axe like 4 times, put a plank in, climb up on that plank, and then put one above that until they reach the top.

I also like watching those dog long jumping comps too.

Only other thing I can think of is American Gladiators, but that's been off for a long time.

Madden, Tony Hawk 4, Tecmo Bowl and Mike Tyson's Punchout

I am tired of watching mainstream sports keep on going down hill. If you ask the average American who was in last year's SuperBowl they will most likely not get it right ... but you can bet they remember Janet's tit shot.

Ultimate fighting and MMA stuff is great to watch. I still ride motocross and shoot pool so watching that stuff is normal to me. It is killer to watch the X-Games ... Mike Metsger doing back flips is good stuff.

Cricket and Darts. Horse racing if that counts also.
