Unusual Sports

Tweet

A co-worker came into work excited about a sport he tried out with his brother last night. Disc Golf. Disc Golf is a combination of Frisbee and golf. It is pretty much exactly as it sounds. I agreed to try it out with him sometime. The entire discussion got me thinking about unusual sports, and the fact that I seem to enjoy the unusual sports, the stranger the better. I am an active member in the SCA, and through them I participate in two sports, and come the summer I will probably start a third, these are definitely unusual sports: 1) Heavy SCA fighting: We dress up in armor that approximates what one would have word during the time period from the bronze age up to the renaisance and bash each other with wooden weapons made out of rattan. It is a martial art, and it is definitely a sport, but I know its unusual. In fact when I started I almost didn't want to admit I did it in case people thought I was just too geeky LOL. 2) SCA Rapier fencing: This is not your pansy Olympic fencing (no offence olympic fencers ;) ) we focus on results rather than form. 3) Archery: most likely the most normal of sports I am trying thanks to the SCA What sort of unusual sports have you tried? And are you willing to give sports a try, even if people think the sport is odd or geeky?
