What sport have you always wanted to learn but haven't yet?

[Khephra]

I'd like to take up archery, fencing and golf.

[HEyHEY]

1. Fencing

is on my list, I saw an ad for it at the local rec centre but never got around to signing up

[Pert_UK]

12. Fencing rocks.....

I took 2 six week course in fencing. Lots of fun and you meet some very interesting people. The British Champ fenced at my club.

It's also surprisingly hard physical work.

Have a go. It's great.

32. SURFING! The kid is just finishing surfing camp today, so I MAY get

my wish!

[DS1]

2. Chess, although there will always be someone out there that's better

.

[HEyHEY]

3. Until it goes full contact

[Pert_UK]

13. I was in the electronics shop the other day......

and this little computer beat me at chess.....But it was NO match for me at kickboxing.

Emo.

4. I'd love to play you over the net

Heck, actually that's a good idea! Why don't we have a DU Chess group?

Or do we and I've just missed it?

[Khephra]

5. Speaking of boardgames.

I'd love to find someone to teach me "go".

[TEXASYANKEE]

29. Where do you live?

I have a friend in MA who lives and breaths GO. I can put you in touch, if you'd like.

[Rocinante]

9. Would really like

to be in an online chess group.

[Khephra]

10. I agree...this is a good idea

I'm posting a thread on it.

8. I've never learned

to swim.

[LearnedHand]

11. Snowboarding!

Respectfully, of course!

[Nomad559]

14. Hockey

[Old and In the Way]

15. Cricket

I watch, but I can't figure the game out...

[Pert_UK]

16. I used to play for my school when I was 16....LOVE cricket....

It's fantastic!

What are you having trouble with?

17. I'd like to learn to really play badminton

I know how to hit the birdie back and forth pretty well, and when I'm at an event where there's a informal game going I can't help joining in, but I've never learned all the details of truly playing the sport.

[VermontDem2004]

18. Slamball!!!

It looks like a very fun sport to play.

[dfong63]

19. surfing

[Pert_UK]

20. I'm on a roll here.........

Had fencing lessons in London, having golf lessons in Western Australia at the moment.....tried archery a few times.

Can ski and snowboard, will be getting surfing lessons next month....

Basically, I seem to have nearly everyone's wish-list covered!

Woohoo!

[VermontDem2004]

22. Not slamball

[Terwilliger]

21. golf is ok

I'd like to play lacrosse

[Richardo]

24. Rugby

I'm already in training for the :beer: part.

[kmla]

25. Curling...

Any sport with me sweeping anything with a broom would be welcomed by my wife - she would insist I practice at home so that I could improve my skills.

[Character Assassin]

26. Hang gliding. They do it down the coast a bit in Big Sur

And also here on the Monterey Penninsula at Marina.

It is, however, a very expensive pass time, from what I understand.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

27. Half-pipe snowboarding...

has been a dream since it first hit the scene but these 43 year old joints MAY not like it one bit! Also I would have loved to have been young enough for rollerblading.

I did do fencing and archery, which were both fun (fencing was VERY physical) -- I highly recommend taking a course in either. Stage combat is another fun "sport" to do.

[Kolesar]

30. Snowboarding and skateboarding

Heck, I am 43, too. I have a feeling that I would heal too slowly for skateboarding, but if you fall in the snow it is more resilient than concrete, and you have all those thick clothes on to pad you when you hit the ground--ooooff!

[buddhamama]

28. hockey

i've watched the game but never played.

i'd be up for some fencing too.

[DEM FAN]

31. I Agree With You With Golf. I WANT To Learn How To Play Maybe One

Of These Days. :-)
