Rock Climbing: King Of Sports

So I just tried this the other day.

It was awesome, great exercise and a good thrill to go along with it. I bought myself a harness, but holy crap is rope expensive.

Explain to me your favorite sports, why they are awesome and worthy of time.

As a side mention rugby is pretty freaking awesome.

Edit - How much is it usually to go parachuting?

    sometimes when i'm really felling lazy and i'm lying on the floor watching something, but my drink is too far away to reach, i'll just shuffle over to it on my ass by pushing myself along with me feet. I kinda feel like if rock climbing is a sport, than so is that.

    You're rowing. Just without a boat. And without water. You should call it shot-rowing, and make it a competition to see how many laps (a shot of vodka a lap) you can do without falling over

    I really really like Soccer(foot ball). I played it for 16 years, and I still play every now and then. Back in high school I was captain of the team. It was pretty cool. I was popular, and it was kind of weird.

    Cricket is the best sport. You get to stand out in the sun for hours in long sleeves and sweat under the heat. And walk back and forth, back and forth every time the bowler bowls. Then someone hits the ball to you and you inevitably drop it and it's back to standing in the sun, only with the red-faced heat of embarrassment to top it all off.

    Afterwards you get to drink warm beer in the shade of a tree and wallow in further dehydration.

    Good times. I think I'll join a team again.

    When I lived in California I played in a club which was awesome. I competed in a few tournaments, including the San Diego Open but I never did very well at all. it was okay though because I was getting better and it was always loads and loads of fun. Maybe someday I'll get back into competing.

    I kayak around the various rivers and creeks that exist on the east coast of australia. Perfect for tranquil scenery.
    I play basketball when I can.
    I would love to play paintball but I am not old enough and Australia has whacked out laws about that stuff.
    I go to the gym regularly as well (think it's not a competitive sport? You should see some of the guys at m gym.)

    One of my better memories is getting punched in the face during a scrum, then after pulling apart knocking the guy over and stepping on his face. Yes.

    #3, tighthead prop right? I had to play that in a Men's leage game before, I was the smallest prop ever. I usually play right side flank, or inside(crash) center.

    I did that kind of thing in God of War once. You're right. It was satisfying.

    I remember the first time I played Ping Pong. I hit it so hard that it put a hole in the guys wall. That guy has really weak walls I guess.

    Also, it's SKYDIVING not Parachuting. Jeeeeezz.

    The best sport ever is Water Polo. Nothing like getting drowned to make you feel alive.
