Ran cross country and track in college. Also enjoy playing tennis every now and then, golf once a month, and soccer a couple times a year.

Tennis. It's probably my favourite sport to play.

Always wanted to pick up tennis ever since I was a kid. Had too much stuff on my plate and I never did. Looks fun and I think I would be good at it. Tho my knees have taking a beating over the years.

Lately? Swimming, surfing... Anything in the water.

My ankles are pretty much mush cant play ball seriously anymore. Played semi pro football (not for pay UFL before it was taken over by the NFL some years ago caught a stinger gave it up) and semi pro baseball (some pay in Japan). Now pretty much golf for me. Gave up football years ago caught a stinger not worth the danger of injury.

Golf is where its at.

Handball. Pretty much racquetball except you use your hands. Takes a lot of precise aiming, anticipation, timing, moving around the court efficiently. Very thoughtful game at my skill level, but better players can hit the ball so hard and fast, I think it loses some of what I love about it.

Basketball >>, though.

I've played alot of racquet sports. I played badminton in high school and made state. I've also trained in Kenpo Karate, Dumog, Arnis,and Kali and was a state champ in the lightweight division. I played goaile in hockey as well.

I also do mountain biking, tennis, and lift (if it's considered a sport). But basketball is no.1

Right now I have a Specialized Stunt Jumper. It's a hard tail but it's pretty versatile. I'm saving up to get a Cannondale scalpel and probably take it a little more seriously. My son got into trail riding and is looking to upgrade too.

What are you riding?

Modified rockhopper hardtail, basically just the frame remains - the rest of the components have been changed/replaced after several years of upgrades. Mountain biking is awesome but like any outlier sport it takes some investment in the equipment but at least it doesn't cost money to ride. What kind of terrain is in your area? Hardtail with 1x9 drivetrain is all I've found I need in OH.

Mostly Park trails where my son can keep up, but now that he's 9 his legs are alot stronger and can probably rip through more aggresive trails. There's lot's here in Philly right in the city.
