He was asking for the hardest sport, not the most fun. Calvinball's as hard as you make it...and it helps to be smarter than the other person!Khell_Sennet said:
As for hardest sport...drownball.
You beat me to it, you beautiful son of a human female.Khell_Sennet said:
Hardest sport to play... I dunno, but Caber Tossing seems pretty hard.
And there isn't any padding either. They are in one piece suits. Men have it worse though. Just speedo's.CompanionCube said:
I don't know, I think that someone can train only to a certain degree. No matter what, we all have physical limitations and some people just are natural athletes while others aren't. For example, from birth, if I trained at basketball 10 hours a day while Lebron James trained 2 hours day, he would still dominate me. There's nothing I can do to be that fast, that strong, that agile, that explosive, beyond the fact that he's also half a foot taller than me to begin with.sketchyshadows said:
Crew (rowing) isn't on there? I guess it's less of a sport and more like 7 minutes of the most unbelievable pain anyone who hasn't given birth can't imagine. The sport comes in which team has bigger balls, being able to tough it out.
Rock Climbing. YES, it IS a sport, and YES, it is ALL muscle. It's a fucking art, ask anybody who does it, and it is one of the hardest sports to get good at. And it is THE BEST sport when it comes to challenging your friends who have never done it before, and sending them home crying.
The one I made up is hardest.
You have to fence while on horseback and the horses are running an obstacle track (made of ice, obviously). In your other hand is a gun, which you have to shoot all the targets while your fencing and jumping over obstacles on horseback on ice.
I call it, shalzaply!

I am seriously surprised that baseball isn't higher on the list. It's not incredibly physical, but it requires a huge amount of skill (judging pitch speed and whether or not it's foul, aiming the bat, making contact with the ball at a certain location on the bat, etc.)
For me, a tie between rugby and wrestling...but closer to rugby, because you have to run between wrestling guys.
I dunno, I think it's easier send friends home crying when challenging them to a swimming race. To do well in swimming has far less to do with strength than it does perfection of stroke. Someone who doesn't have a grasp on decent stroke is going to get destroyed. Not that I'm saying rock climbing doesn't have a correct form, I just think being ridiculously strong can make you go faster for rock climbing, but one with muscles can not get faster in swimming without the stroke to base it off of.xavix said:
Edit: Rock Climbing may be more physically demanding, though. I've only done it on the inside things where they mount "rocks" to a wall.
Define "hard". Do you mean most physically demanding? Because all sports are brutal in there own way. If you mean "hard" as in hardest to e good at, than I say paintball and other varients of it. There are so many outside factors beside just phisical strength and endurance. If you don't have the proper equipment, it is hard to be competitive.
And I don't see why people keep bashing American Football. They wear pads so they don't kill themselves. Plus, who are covered in armor will tend to hit harder. Talk crap if yo want, I'm just making an observation.
If you want pain just screw up a parkour move, no protection at all, some guys just wear pants and shoes so your screwed if you stuff it up, it requires a lot of focus especially when you are running at full speed, even a slight misplacement of the foot can result in a lot of pain but technically parkour isn't a sport, it's more of a discipline so I interpret "sport" as an umbrella term for all activities. Also I think it's hard for some people to learn just because of the fear, mental barriers are a pain in the arse. Though ski jumping is probably the scariest, if you mess it up you are fucked.
