Trampoline

[MHG]

The only sport I've ever enjoyed is the trampoline. I used to love it when I was at school. It was the one time were my fat arse was actually useful.

What unusual sports do you like? And What do you think of trampoining?

[KevBaz]

i get the feeling you like the lycra leotards.....TAXI!

[speed demon]

Trampolining is a bit of a laugh, I'm not much good at it though.

The 'unusual' sports I like are badminton and squash I guess, not wholly unusual but there aren't exactly loads of people into them.

[John_Ross]

Trampolining kicks big time man. Haha, there is so much fun in it. Can't really think of any other unusual sports I like though.

[Sman25000]

I enjoy badminton as a weird sport, but trampolines are awesome

I like trying to do tricks while I'm in the air. It's so fun! :thumb:

[MHG]

I sank in between two trampolines once. I was just jumping happily and then, "Foosh!" Got stuck! I laughed like a right twat that day! Ho hum... :lol:

Goodness, If I could go back to school again... I'd kill myself. It was that bad...

[Sman25000]

You got stuck between two trampolines? How would that even happen? Couldn't you just move them apart? :head:

[Phatbowser]

I wopud post something about sports right now but i have a nice dinner waiting.

[Popcynical]

I enjoy spectators sports like cheerleading...me being the spectator of course :D

Squash looks fun, never played it though.

[Sman25000]

Phatbowser, please refrain from spamming :(

What is Squash exactly? :head:

[Alexandros]

Badminton isn't really a weird sport.

[Scott]

What is Squash exactly? :head:

It's where you hit a big rubber thing across a wall.. :wtf:

[QuizMaster]

??? Trampoline isn't a sport. :head:

[Sman25000]

actually it kind of is. Its just not considered one because its not too competetive and common. I mean come on, some people consider golf a sport, which is like the least active it can get.

[QuizMaster]

Yeah, but at least with Golf, there is scoring and an actual game to it.

[Sman25000]

Well, they've recently added it to olympic events, and everything in there is a sport.

[MHG]

The thing i like about trampolining is that it's just you jumping aimlessly in the air. That's what I like about it. You can just bliss out.

[Homeslice]

What about curling? Now that sport is weird. :wtf:

I don't play it...just bringing it up.

[Alexandros]

Pushing tea kettles and polishing floors? Yep.

[MHG]

What about sheep racing?

They put nitted jockeys on the sheeps backs and then race them around a track.

GENIUS!

[Alexandros]

Methinks that's like horse-racing.

Not that I know anything about riding, but I don't see how anyone can view that as a sport seeing as how the animal does all of the work. :wtf:

[MHG]

It's a sport for sheep. You know, for the Sheep Olympics.

[Command3r Keen]

its fun to jump on a trampoline with a skateboard deck or trampoline bike

[MHG]

its fun to jump on a trampoline with a skateboard deck or trampoline bike
Or even better, your feet! There's less chance of getting severly hurt that way! :lol:

HAPPY 1000TH POST! YEAY!

[John_Ross]

Yeah, but at least with Golf, there is scoring and an actual game to it.

I refer to golf as "Whack-F**ck"......it consits of 2 actions........."whack"..................................."F**k".

Thats the highlight of the game.

[Homeslice]

I saw a tractor race on ESPN 2 once. :rolleyes:

[Scott]

What about curling? Now that sport is weird. :wtf:

I don't play it...just bringing it up.


Scotland are like the world champs at that game. wooh, we are good at something. :rolleyes:

[MHG]

Scottish people are good at tossing the caber.

[QuizMaster]

Scotland is the world champ? I think not. Let's look at Sweden, shall we? They rule.

Not all Olympic Events are Sports. That is why they aren't called "Olympic sports". Like Pole Vaulting...it isn't a sport.

At least Golf and Curling has scoring and an actual game to them.

[Sman25000]

Oh really Quiz? I thought Pole vaulting is part of track, and i was told that was a sport.

[Popcynical]

What's that sport where you hit the ball with your hand? You have a glove on of course.

[Sman25000]

You mean throw the ball? I have never heard of one hitting the ball... :head:

Anyway, that is shot put.

[Popcynical]

No, you hit it against a wall, then the other person has to hit it, and so on. Like squash except with your hand.

They play it in Goodfellas I think.

[Sman25000]

That'd be pickle ball. I love that game, and I got skills :D

[XL.]

Pickle ball? Never heard of that.

[speed demon]

It's where you hit a big rubber thing across a wall.. :wtf:

:wtf: squash balls are actually rather small, look, this is squash:

Pickle ball looks like this apparently, I'd never heard of it before (they do seem to have some little table tenis sized rackets not gloves). :lol:

[Sman25000]

Oh wait nevermind, that is pickle ball... got them mixed up.

Anyways, is this the version where if you get out you have to get pegged with the ball? We play like that, gives you a motive not to get out of the game.:happysad:

[dark fairy]

i nearly broke my leg on a trampoline....and my friend broke her arm in 2 places whilst playing on a trampoline! *ouch!* she was in surgery for ages trying to get it put back in place, she told me it killed big time!

[MHG]

Ouch!

... Fun, innit?

[Scarface]

No, you hit it against a wall, then the other person has to hit it, and so on. Like squash except with your hand.

They play it in Goodfellas I think.

Thats handball. :)

[MadFog]

handball is basically throwing a ball into a 5 a side football goal

[Scarface]

No ur talking about lacroix (sp) ,I think.

Hand ball is actualy an olympic sport (yea go figure) and its played as raistlin described it.

[Command3r Keen]

duct tape a skateboard deck to your feet on a trampoline and have a freaking blast :thumb:

[Loop]

Or break your neck first. Just to save yourself some time.

[QuizMaster]

duct tape a skateboard deck to your feet on a trampoline and have a freaking blast :thumb:

Oh yeah, I've heard of this. Except I think the guys I saw were using snowboards. I suppose a skateboard would be more convenient/easy.

[stevengemmell]

or when the wheels go throught the trampoline

[Command3r Keen]

you dont leave the wheels on :lol: thats why i said skateboard deck. :lol:

its not that dangerous, you dont actually tape your feet to it, just tape some slip on sandals to it and slide your feet in. or just have it normally then you can do flip tricks as well

[QuizMaster]

:lol:

Still, that is good practice for the real deal. Hooray for trampolines :thumb:

[Electro]

The only sport I've ever enjoyed is the trampoline. I used to love it when I was at school. It was the one time were my fat arse was actually useful.

What unusual sports do you like? And What do you think of trampoining?
Its sissy lol , my favourite , fishing , football , rugby (I know all rules etc but my body build is the opposite of what it should be to play it lol but i still love watching it)

[MadFog]

Shut up.. :)

I play rugby and i still love trampoling, my tight quads make it hard.. but i can summie!

[Electro]

Trampoline is a bit pathetic to me , its like , Tap Dancing to me :)

[MadFog]

How is it pathetic?

[QuizMaster]

And even more, how is tap dancing pathetic?

[Electro]

Its for girls really unless your'e a poof

[QuizMaster]

Actually, you're thinking of ballet. Even then, those guys are buff.

Actually, come to think of it, I've never seen a female tap-dancer.

Actually, forget it, you have one immature attitude.

Actually, no, do you know what tap-dancing is?

[MadFog]

Its for girls really unless your'e a poof


How is dancing gay?

We use dancing in the summer to train for the rugby season.. you need to be fit and flexible to do dance.. it improves that for other sports..

[Electro]

My bad , i meant ballet , but my view on tap-dancing is that it is not for men.Your views are probably different but everyones different.My view on trampoline is changed now , i had the wrong end of the stick i thought it was like ballet etc
