How athletic are you.

I suppose being able to run really fast was my only outstanding athletic skill, and I never had the stamina to keep it up for very long.

Despite being extremely uncoordinated I'm a decent enough football player by kick-about-in-the-park standards, useless in goal and probably not even gifted enough to join a shitty local team.

I'm not sure that I've ever successfully swung a cricket bat and I was mince meat every time we played rugby.

Pretty cool thread I've started here. Let's compare dick sizes next.

I don't play sports anymore but still work out almost everyday. So I guess not very athletic.

I'm very athletic, but I think my dick is only average length.

what's it called when you tell everyone you're athletic but never play any sports in your free time?

Prioritisation?

I mean, that is, if you are in fact athletic. If not, it's just lying.

I think I am just very average. I do not have much of an athletic build but I have good hand-eye coordination and shit. I actually wish I knew people who engaged in the random pick-up game of basketball or football.

I run a lot.

i walk quite a bit at work, and do stretching and yoga exercises. more athletic than the average american imo

"The average American" is not really a good barometer.

its the barometer i am using, as the OP did not express one of his own. in any event, why would i take above average athletic people as the barometer? i am not as athletic as barry bonds for instance, lol or damo

 

I'm not very active - I hate working out at the gym and only get exercise at my job and via riding my bike for errands - but I'm naturally very athletic in certain departments. I don't know which question you're asking. I have excellent eye-hand coordination and can throw most things w/ great speed and accuracy. The exception is a basketball; I'm also not much for soccer. I'm an excellent ping pong player. I grew up playing baseball through high school age and was always the best pitcher, one of the best hitters, and usually the fastest on my team. That said, I'm small in size for most sports - 5'8" - and was home schooled w/ pretty severe social anxiety, so I've never done much w/ my innate abilities. I do still very much like to throw things and play ping pong though and I can't wait to play catch w/ my son or daughter.

I'm a standard 6 inch dicked man though.

i'm quite athletic if it pertains to soccer, running, throwing, general hand-eye coordination.

athletic endeavors involving size and strength as opposed to speed & dexterity, much less so.

ping pong though, the game of charming bastards.

I'm pretty good at bocce that's about it.

Couldn't believe how athletic I felt taking the stairs between floors at work this morning. Usually I just take the elevator but I was fucking owning that shit.

Does pinball count?

I consider it more of a test of athleticism than golf so yes.

in all honesty how difficult would it be to do this?

these are pretty odd events.  i've done the hustle up the hancock a couple of times, as well as a stairclimb "race" in indianapolis.  

it's really just a very repetitive walk/jog/run up stairs in a dry & drafty stairwell with horrible scenery.  at some point, depending on your chosen pace, your quads will burn as much as it's possible for them to burn and you either slow down or deal with it, and then it keeps going up and up and up, sometimes you pass other people, sometimes they pass you, often you pass people who may have already passed you because it is impossible to pace yourself evenly for a challenge like this.  

the novelty of being able to say you "climbed the willis" is really the height of the attraction here.  the event is over much faster than you expect it to be, there's very little of everyone hanging around commiserating their experiences because it's imperative the organizers get you out of the SkyDeck because there is a never ending stream of climbers arriving the entire day, and they can't have all those people hanging around up there.  

2/10, would not participate again

seems to me you find yourself behind the right person and you can have excellent scenery the whole way
