What's your Sport ???

Do you watch or do you do ??

For me the do not disturb sign goes on the front door for the Bathurst 1000 and most of the touring car rounds

Have a thing for Australian cricket when we can get our act together

Love power walking which has evolved into running now, just 5 k's but run it all, but plans for the City to Surf next year, and i have turned into a bit a of gym junkie too.

My sport these days is mixed netball on Wednesday nights.

retired from rugby union and cricket after 15 years of fun and no major injuries

And of course motorcycling

Enjoy my NRL (go the Roosters), the cricket when it is worth watching, so no cricket watching for the past couple of years. Quite like women's beach volleyball as well for some reason.

With my roster and on call commitments team sports is prohibitive.....been Mountain biking for about 10 years, getting a little more serious again, just having a custom bike built.

Going to get flamed here by the blokes BUT........I don't watch ANY sports AT ALL on TV

And hell yes Motorcycling is a sport.....you go fast, wear protective clothes, and get a Cardio workout if you over cook a corner

No sport for me as the rosters from being and Paramedic and Retained Firey kill any chance of turning up for sport, let alone the volunteer work I do.

I don't care to much for sport and it rarely gets watched on TV.

Maybe the occasional Moto GP race, Netball if the Thunderbirds are playing, and no great loss if I miss a match or a race.

For me it's motorcycle distance and social riding. I get all the physical exercise I need gardening.
I'll support the anti-blokey trend- TV sports on rare occasions when I enjoy the occasional AFL match, especially when the Lions are on a roll. I used to really like the cricket, especially the One Dayers, but it's ruined these days.

Due to my work roster , all sport is out. I enjoy watching MotoGP on the goggle box along with a bit of F1.
When i'm feeling down and in need of hysterical laughter , i watch

St Kilda play AFL like the local under 10's team , minus their finesse & ball skills.
When i can i catch my Qld Cup rugby league team - they have lost the 2 times i have seen them this year, so maybe back to back premierships are a lost cause

Played AFL and soccer in high school, did all the normal farm things and got into dirt bike riding when an apprentice doing MX and 4 hour enduro's (was fit then). Watched my kids with soccer and football, even umpired a few games. Was pushed into tennis by my father but have not picked up a racket since his death. These days I might watch a bit of MotoGP or V8's, but usually fall asleep as it's just a parade. I am an ANDRA Steward and Tech Inspector and still attend the drags. Riding my bikes is now my pastime while I can still do it.

In the UK I was into full bore rifle and pistol target shooting, am still in 2 minds whether to take it up again at my local club. Trouble is the ST is coming first all the time.

Never did any sport up until 4years ago when I got into road cycling. From there I progressed into doing team events in the local Tri club with mainly the bike leg and the occasional run leg. However I couldn't swim so it was of to the pool and persevered and got the swim thing happening and did a couple of our local pier to pub ocean swims. I did alot of our local club races which included the Hervey Bay Hundy and Goondiwindi Hell of the West wich are both long distance 100k courses and Noosa tri. But then................... I got the bike bug again and bought the

and have been loving it but still doing cycling and running to keep some fitness up

Hockey, hockey and more hockey. Both my kids play field hockey, and so do I when I'm not out with a back injury. With my daughter representing the NT this year, and playing 4 grades (2 junior and 2 senior) for most of the season, we're there 5 days a week for training and games.

As far as watching sports...live motorsports, especially V8s and Superbikes at Hidden Valley. On tv I limit my sports watching to State of Origin, MotoGP and V8s.

Still playing soccer. have been playing for 45yrs, about 37yrs as a goal keeper. Have played in top division for many years and at one time play keeper for the same team as my son and the sons of the guys I started with. Now playing in Whyalla for their local reserve grade as a keeper. First game I played with them, they beat the leading team 2-0 and stunned the association in winning. Certainly was a legend to the young guys on the team as I did some great saves to keep us ahead. Was the oldest registered player in the association in Hunter region in NSW. Probably the oldest in the Whyalla competition too. Carry the injuries a little longer these days, but when that referees start whistle sounds, all the pain is forgotten and it's down to business.

Feel very fortunate to still have my health and able to do what I can do considering 6yrs ago was given only 2hrs to live. Certainly beat them odds. Had a 2yr break from soccer during that time.

I to loved archery when I was a teenager introduced to it by one on my brothers and went with him each weekend, I wasn't a bad shot with a pistol either, thats what he moved into after archery.

I don't play any sport, when I was younger I used to play a little bit of squash, in my 30's and 40's social Golf, but nothing for over a decade.

The life style was one that didn't allow for any regular events, like every Tuesday this or that. Now I'm a Domestic Engineer of sorts I can't afford anything of the sporting nature and I don't want to redirect any available finances away from the Biking Activities.

I used to play Squash and Rugby...played both for what seems like forever until I went to the Middle East to work (Saudi Arabia...hard work but disgustingly big lumps of money to make up for that!!) I was asked to play rugby there and did...for a single game during which I get tackled whilst running quickly (I could do that in those days!!) and I fell onto my face and arms in the sand and lost what seemed like several square meters of skin in a few layers over the front of me. Also lost lots of blood and underwent a couple of hours of what was excruciating agony having a couple of kilos of rough sand removed from in and under my skin slowly and methodically by a quite rough male nurse who was unhappy because he was working during an afternoon off. I was not allowed to play again for 3 weeks while the skin areas healed and after that I couldn't think of any particular reason why I would risk doing the same damage again, so I didn't from there on...ever again!

From there on I took to Sub Aqua Diving in the Red Sea and loved every single solitary event, it was without doubt the clearest, cleanest, warmest water I have ever been in and we regularly went down to 50 metres in anything up to 50 kilms ether North or South of Jeddah...Absolutely mesmerizing, and something that I would do again in a heartbeat!!!

Well in addition to power walking, Running, swim and gym twice a week I have found I have a thing for cycling. Just off now to do a 20 k ride with Chris
