Ok, so this is gravedigging. Bad in some forums, acceptable here.
Sports- what are you into.
I just saw this and think it's cool fucking shit. Sailing. Yes, I know, the sport of rich fat cats who can afford expensive sailboats.
But sailing is cool. Everytime I think of sailing I think about the age of adventure, of sailing ships.
(Before someone says, "Ah yes, ships filled with men, sailing ships, manly ships, where the men did manly things, in a manly way, with other men. Manly men....- see the Whose sexy for girls thread.)
Yes, this is a reason I like to read Joseph Conrad.
Global records for sailing- cool.
"IMAGINE lack of sleep, constant noise, cold and wet conditions and the fear of hitting icebergs as your boat hurtles through a lumpy sea at over 30 knots (34.5mph). With no sight of land and no fresh food, you must maintain top speed for months on end. Even your toothbrush is cut in half to save precious weight. This is the world of record-breaking multihull sailing, and there is going to be plenty of it in 2004."

Other sports- Winter Olympics are cool.
I like Tae Kwon Do and Scuba. Do some hiking as well. Always wanted to learn how to sky. I like cycling too and I used to run long distance. I want to try hang gliding and maybe bungee jumping. I also fish (because if it smells like fresh fish, it's good eating).
More into individual sports than team sports.
