Thats not how you ride a bike
 

This is how a bike is ridden.

All these years I've been doing it wrong :haha:

Meh ... A week ago my back weel had a flat tire, so I decided to cycle all the way home on my front wheel. Those gals do it just for the show :D

Am I able to ride a bike? After watching this the definite answer is NO!:o

It begs the question, to what purpose to ride a bike in this fashion in a competition? Is this a new Olympic sport? I'm at a loss trying to understand why these two are in a gymnastics uniform and there is a auditorium of people watching this activity. :hmmm:

Puts the poser chavs who do wheelies and small jumps (before falling on their arses) to shame! :rock:

What purpose has it to drive a car around an oval for 500 miles?:O:
It was a European championship.;)

That was my next question. NASCAR makes no sense. European Championship? Championship of what? I do not get it. Did someone wake up one day and say, "Let's ride bikes backwards, make a competition out of it and sell T-shirts."?

You can get some more info here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artistic_cycling

Apparently a local German sport? I have only seen things like BMX here in the US with free form stunts. To each their own I guess.

How can it be a local German sport if it was a European Championship?:doh:

Maybe there was only one entry :haha:

Normally a question ends with a "?" Just like my question. Baseball here is called "The World Series" Has any baseball professionally been played in Germany? Specifically the world series? All right then. :03: The world loves a wise guy. It still makes no sense to me.

I've always wondered why the US compete in the football World Cup when they call the game soccer and have actually zero chance of ever winning it http://imgcash4.imageshack.us/img144/3336/tonguecm5.gif

I don't see why it should be more senseless than any other sport.:06:
Actually sport is senseless. It's always just a competition to find out who is the best within some rules. If you want really senseless sport, have a look at this::D

Is sitting a sport? If it is done on a pole does it make it a sport? If sitting is a sport then I the most active mofo in the world. I sit all day! Agreed, there are just some activities that are considered sports when in reality it does not make any sense.

Exactly my point. :D

Since it does take place in Poland, it can just hope that "Pole-Sitting" isn't referring to the people :rotfl2:

Because we thought it was "football" and taken by surprise when we got there and found out it was actually "kickball", a game us Yanks played in elementary school. So it's a bit of nostalgia for us, brings back childhood memories of games we played without risk of injury, like most girls sports.

And it gives us an opportunity to interface with the brits and ask them long unanswered questions.

I think we can all agree that dancing is a sport.....so if it's done on a pole, does that constitute pole dancing as a sport? :hmmm::DL
