One sport for the rest of your life???

Lets see...

Lacrosse I will be giving up. Maybe after this season, if not the following one. I will be content to coach and hang up the cleats.

Paddling is new to me and doesn't move me in the same way skiing does. I guess I could sell the boat and buy some new boards.

Yoga is not really a sport but a way of life so I can keep on keeping on with that.

Golf kills me because I don't have enough time to devote to developing a consistent swing. I could give up golf in a hot minute.

Skiing wins hands down.

Dude, shouldn't you be posting over in the "Sports I'd like to take up again" thread?

That's the way I look at martial arts...you learn a lot more than just the physical skills.

If I was just thinking of the "sports" aspect, though, I'd still choose it over skiing if I had to make a choice. You never know when you may have to defend yourself against ninjas...;-)

A spectator one!

Tiddlywinks is my sport for life. Nothing tougher than that. Look at the intensity in their eyes and the strain on their wrists and fingers. WOW! ;-)

I think it would be Badminton for me. Its an indoor sport and hence not seasonal. I can be as aggressive as I can afford to be and as tame as needed as I grow older and provides a excellent overall workout and reflex to keep fit. One problem with the sport is a tendency for knee and ankle injuries, which I will need to be careful about as I grow older. Skiing would definitely be my winter sport - I haven't played badminton for the past 3 months but I am not complaining because I have been skiing regularly.

Can't say I want to play indoors in summer. Sweating the buckets.

Not to mention the reflex goes to the dogs as one gets older...

Badminton used to be my winter sport until I started skiing more and more...

As the weather gets warmer and warmer, I can do my summer sport longer and longer and I'm not complaining. Cycling rocks!!!

It's the easiest on the knees and almost no impact. Great cardio workout with little or no joint stress. I'll be cycling till the day I can't move my legs.

Skiing .. pretty easy choice for me

Since it's the only sport I do it makes it easy - skiing.

Skiing for me, nothing else is close.

What HPD said. Skiing is not just a hobby, but rather part of my identity. I'll do it until my body won't let me anymore. You might as well just put a bullet in me when that day comes.

Not sure why but i'm sorta surprised how many peeps stuck with skiing as the one. Maybe I just don't my body enought credit, but I would think the physical limitations would really start to take hold sooner than I would like. If I didn't have something to do daily as an old bastard I would be "that guy" in the local tavern.......hmmmmm, now maybe I'm on to something.

White Water, hands down. Like skiing in an avalanch. Only moments of skiing powder reach the same intensity of a good white water run like the Big Branch, New Haven, Joe's Brook...Gihon...NBLamoille...If I could run one river for rest of my life it would be the Little River Canyon in Eastern Alabama.

I had gone out to Belleayre for a bump clinic and one of the instructors for the clinic was 82 years old. I was blown away. If I can at least take grand kids down a bunny slope at that age, I would be happy.

Since skiing is not a sport (it's a way of life), I would have to answer softball.

Summers would not be the same without playing it (and watching the NY Mets).

Hang gliding. Nothing like having a bald eagle as your wingman at 3000 feet,

 

[ERJ-145CA]

It used to be flying but now flying is my job, an enjoyable job at that, but I'd give it up for skiing.
