Cool idea for this thread but I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of inflated posts on here or just some straight up BS posts about how good some people are/were… But I’ll play

After reading a few of these posts, I have a feeling you are right.[/quote]
kinda like internet lifting stats… but oh well. I’m sure there are some pretty freakin good athletes or former athletes on the Nation
I’m always the darkest human on the mountain when I go snowboarding.
Some Rowing in High School (1 year)
4 years of Soccer and Cricket (but played competitively most of junior school and high school)
1.5 years of Aikido at 23.
Now strictly speaking only doing weight training since 2006 to improve my health and eliminate Diabetes, I’m not advanced enough to pick BB, PL or SM just yet but I’m interested in the techniques of all three.
In hindsight, I wish I trained more in school, learned better exercises, hit the weight room, picked up a martial art early and learned to swim competitively

You just haven’t been there on the “super dark Indian/Pakistani ski for free” days.
Them folks are dark!
I was a gymnast and as well I did really well in track and field.

There is NO doubt on your sporting accolades, past, present and future

That should go without saying, you don’t get a booty like that by just sitting on the bench.

I must be going to the wrong mountains (not that it really matters). All I’ve seen is the occasional Hawaiian.

20 years on the slopes and I’ve never seen one of those. Then again, our slopes here are some of the worst in the world.
Down hill ice rinks with trees.
highland games, shot-put, powerlifting.
Baseball: From 4 yrs. old till Freshman year in college
Softball: Junior year in high school to present(B level if anyone knows what I’m talkin about)
Football: 7th grade to 10th grade
Soccer: All through middle school
Basketball: Couple of years in a church league when I was 12 I think
Jet ski drag racing: 18-20. Kinda like the little kids at the rodeo that have to hang onto a sheep while it runs around the arena but faster 
Everything else is just random sports here and there like wakeboarding, kneeboarding, paintball, pickup football and basketball

That makes sense I’ve only snowboarded on the west coast and up in Minnesota.

Lacrosse = majority douche-infested sport
So glad they canned that motherfucker from UVA…real, manly men. NOT. They should stick to P90-catabolic-X, natty lite, driving shitty jeeps, backwards caps, and the list goes on…[/quote]
What an ignorant statement. Someone as daft as yourself isn’t even worth the time.

So you’ve heard of my exploits?
I’m impressed

Same here. What do you ride? I did slalom and grand slalom through high school and then switched over to freestyle skiing which I have been doing ever since. Lake Tahoe + Twin Tips is where it’s at.
My sporting days started with basketball, then I progressed to football (lineman). It was during freshman year track & field when I got into a wrestling match with a senior who outweighed me by 40 pounds. I won. My shot coach was so impressed that he told me I was going to wrestle the following season. Wrestling became my passion after that, with two trips to Nationals.
Continued training with the All-Army Team and World Class Athlete Program while I was in Colorado, however, lost the passion. Discovered Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, liked it alot, then progressed to MMA. Fought a few times. Of all the sports I’ve played, MMA and wrestling have to be the most grueling of them all, conditioning-wise. Have to work every muscle in the body to produce power, speed, endurance, and strength. Nothing else compared, in my opinion.
baseball from ages 4-20
didn’t lift in highschool which ended up in blowing out my shoulder when i was 17. I stayed on the team but couldn’t throw a ball or swing a bat.
at age 20/21 I was 160lbs at 6’5’’ untrained and tired of seeing my bonnnnnez. 5 years later and i am 230, working on it. blah blah blah.
I play coed softball with a good group of friends every monday now. we dominate.
