Oh, we're talking about sports here? Okay...

Pa'li:

I've been on a camel once in my life and that was on a beach in Byron Bay. The loping gait of the camel made for an interesting ride. (We found out that day that camels love Coca-Cola: the camel-ride "operator" had the remnants of a 2-liter bottle in his pack: the camel managed to undo the top of the bottle, lifted it out of the operator's pack, and, using its teeth, up-ended the bottle and finished off the bottle's contents.)

Anyway...sports! I will play racquetball until it feels like my knee will give and my arm won't hold the racquet any longer. I also love cycling, but only on closed, paved trails here in Florida--cycling on the open road is dangerous, not just for the cars but for ayskxawng who throw stuff AT YOU as they drive by. I also love going for walks into nature with challenging surfaces: on a recent trip to the Galápagos, I earned the nickname "the Mountain Goat" for being able to navigate pretty well across boulders on some of the islands. I also lift weights.

I would love to take up martial arts: I'm fascinated by the intricacies of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and the poetry-in-motion that is Kata, when a martial artist demonstrates a series of moves and stances by him or herself. I don't know that I'd be any good at actual sparring, however: I'd probably be on the defensive all the time.

On the bucket list: wind- or kite-surfing.

Lacrosse! Best sport ever
It's getting more well known nowadays. It's really fun if you like running haha. I'm like...magnetically attracted to my lacrosse stick and am always practicing now that the weather is nice (of course, I also practice inside, which my parents aren't crazy about.)
Used to do gymnastics and... cheerleading (go ahead and laugh, I'm just glad those days are behind me). I've moved on from those two, but the flexibility has stayed and am actually freakily flexible. Seriously, I gross people out
Also used to do horseback riding and want to start doing it again!

Sí, Tzmukan Wokan: I've had a full large cup of soda hit me in the leg, followed by LAUGHTER from within the white, full-size Lexus SUV. (I STILL remember the vehicle and the fact that there were at least two teenaged boys sitting in the front it. Too bad I didn't think to look at the license plate 'til it was too late.) I was so that I tried to chase after the car on my bike, expletives ERUPTING from my mouth.

I was GLAD, however, for only NEARLY getting hit by an unopened CAN of soda (which would probably have HURT LIKE THE DEVIL).

I gotta get out of Orlando; the ayskxawng drivers around here are just too much.

...do mosh pits count?

I don't really do competitive/organised sport, although I like to walk and run. I also used to do some motorsport but haven't really for a while.

No sports at all

And I think nothing can convince me to start playing any sports either

I don't play sports like football or so, but I practiced street dance in high-school, and two weeks ago I started to do freerunning/ parkour with some friends in a nearby park with lots of trees and things to climb and jump and run on. I also plan to do street dancing again when I'll recover my physics.

I like it very much, it frees my mind from monotoneity in town and from college... it frees my body and makes me trust my body when I'm doing something.

I love basketball. Used to play, on average, around 5 to 8 hours per day back in high school. People used to joke that I lived at the park because they would see me there whenever they happened to be there. I would have loved to play ball for a university, but I needed to make decisions that benefited my academic career. At each level, the game moves so much faster. Many of the fastest players in high school are the slowest players in college. I knew I had no financially viable future in basketball.
