What is your worst sport?
If I had to pick one, I would say ice skating. I put on some skates last week for the first time in like 20 years and take the kids, and it's pretty scary how bad Yella is at the rink. I was lucky that all that was bruised is my pride.

I haven't found one yet. Chuckgoodateverything
Swimming, i suppose. I'm comfortable doing it, I love the water, and can get from A to B safely. That was hard earned though. I'm a sinker and it was pure fearlessness and determination to figure it out and not miss out on fun shit as a kid that got me through. I barely made it to shore more times than I could count and nearly lost consciousness while coughing water out of my lungs many times.
I was good at hoops until hs. A torn ACL and dislocated shoulder, both playing hoops, slowed my game development as a freshman and sophomore. By my junior year, finally healthy, a few guys had passed me. I quit like a bitch rather than being a JV all star. -
I am terrible at all winter sports. Particularly curling.

I still don't know what that is.Swaye said:I am terrible at all winter sports. Particularly curling.
You make a good point though. I can't ski or snow board. I sucked horribly at water skiing as a kid and we did it pretty much any time the wind let up in the summer. Never could skate board either.
Strangely I was pretty good at ice skating but never tried hockey. -
Skiing. I can snowboard pretty well, but I can't travel more than 100 feet on skis on a downhill without falling.

I quit the hoops team my senior year of HS, cause I sucked and wanted to ski pow. I have no regrets but Mrs. Snow gives me a ration of shit regularly for being a quitter.chuck said:I haven't found one yet. Chuckgoodateverything

Could never get up on water skis

In high school, a bunch of friends were going snow skiing. Myself, and two others had never skied. The skiers told us that they would teach us how if we went with them. LSS, we were the only three that showed up (everyone else too hung over), and we said "Fuck it, let's go"...I mean, how hard could it be?
I fell off the T bar 3-4 times, and one guy (the guy who had the bota bag) fell on his chest and popped it, saturating his brand new ski coat he got for Christmas with Jack Daniels. The other guy borrowed his brother's skis, and left them stuck in snow behind the car when we left, with bota boy's clothes hanging out the car windows to de-fumigate.
The results of the trip were: I tweaked my knee, and as I type this I can still feel it, and as of this year, none of the three of us have ever been on skis since.
When dating the wif, she was a big winter sports person, ski, CC ski, ice skating, snow machine, the whole deal. She asked me what I did in winter, and I told her "I save money all year, and fly to where it's warm enough to play golf". -

Water skiing I’m absolute ass. Drank half of the Pend Oreille river trying to get up with my shitfaced uncle driving

Learning to water ski was easy, my summer friends and I learned in the straights off of Whidbey: no one ever fell (even first time skiers) because the water was ice cold
