pretty bald statement to say any sport is the hardest to be perfect in.
Dont think there is such a thing. ever

1: I agree with the above, as anything is difficult to do truly well.why dont we just agree ALL SPORTS ARE HARD IF YOU DO THEM AT THE TOP MOST LEVEL. I mean really, sitting down and snapping your fingers could be a extreme sport if you try hard enough. some sports have more physical properties, while others are more precise, and some are just mixed up and random.
I really think its all just one big individual question..."What sport is hardest for you?? "
Incredibly ignorant statement that DH is harder than F1. I'm sure Kimi Raikkonen makes over $1 million per week because there are a bunch of people that can be as fast as him. Obviously you're a little misguided on what you know about Motorsport, not quite pressing some pedals and picking a line.....It's sheer brilliance that isn't learned, you're either a natural or not.
Meh, unless you're talking about racing skateboards I'd argue it's not even a sport. I hate "sports" that require judges. Unless a result can be quantified with a time, distance or other quantative measurement you're competing in a pony show.skateboarding-end of discussion
Pope is infallible.i love reading posts from people who enjoy riding bikes so much that they try to defend it as the most badass thing out there. "OMG IT IS SOOOO MUCH HARDER THAN GOLF!!!11"
guess what, every single sport is difficult and achieving perfection is either extremely difficult or impossible in most cases.
what the hell is "perfect" anyways? seeing as how i don't think anyone has achieved perfection in cycling, how the hell will we ever know if we reach it?
then all the kiddies would want to ride the iron horse pope-cycle with the holy dw-link.Pope is infallible.
Just sayin.
If pope rode bikes...........booyah!
I am just glad you were drunk while typing this...Im drunk as all hell and who knows what more so Im having a moment of clarity here.
Saying DH is the hardest sport to be perfect in is like saying Street Spirit by Radio Head is the most perfect musical masterpiece that can ever be acchieved in Music while there are so many variables.
Its fukkin brilliant in its own league but there are more leagues to pik from...
Sorry bout the drunk n00b steeloo but it made sence when i wrote it down anyways.
Does perfection sport involve an inflated ball?What's the hardest sport to be "perfect" at?
Simple: perfection
"Sheer Brialliance" only gets you half way. If you know anything about Kimi Raikkonen, in his first F1 race he only finished 7th. Most thought he would blow up his car since he barely got his F1 license.It's sheer brilliance that isn't learned, you're either a natural or not.
Finishing ONLY 7th in a F1 race is a world record by itself."Sheer Brialliance" only gets you half way. If you know anything about Kimi Raikkonen, in his first F1 race he only finished 7th. Most thought he would blow up his car since he barely got his F1 license.
I think he has improved since then.
Skateboarding is the 37th toughest sport according to ESPN
That's probably the hardest sport (not talking about fitness) I've done. The water pretty much decides where you go. I did it several times in my first year of highschool. It's hard to compare to downhill, because I've been downhiling for a while and know the basic skills, whereas kyaking, I did for the most part, but with much less experience. I wonder which is harder for someone who hasn't done either yet. Some people are probably naturally better at certain things (which complicates the whole question). It really sucks to be over and for some reason, unable to roll back up (because of the current, etc.) You have to quickly decide to pull the spray top and get out before you drown.Hard argument.
The hardest sport I ever learned is how to whitewater kayak. It is the hardest sport to do still. At least once a year I'll run something that will reach up and just bitch slap the **** out of me. Its a lot like downhilling where you really only got one beginning and one end, but the problem is the course is dynamic and will change on you mid drop.
There are way too many variables to compare sports in that way. "What sport is the hardest for you" is simple and doesn't have all those variables.<snip />
I really think its all just one big individual question..."What sport is hardest for you?? "
That or rock climbing.It's by far the most intense sport I've ever been involved in.
Much higher physical output levels in a tiny little narrow boat that tips sideways if you fart.
The synchronous motion with 7 other guys is a bit of a challenge........plus straining your muscles to the point exploding eyeballs.
Never again
once you get above 5.10, climbing just starts to get ****ing rediculous. if you ask me, it's definitely a much more difficult(not to mention dangerous) sport than downhilling.That or rock climbing.
pretty interesting chart...I did notice that auto racing scored the highest when it came to Nerves...although the panel seems kind of so-so...they should have spoke to more athletes...D
I think your whole post misinterpretted what I was trying to say. And I'm not saying that F1 (or any other sport, INCLUDING things like curling etc) is "easy".I think it is kind of ignorant to say racing formula 1 cars isn't very difficult compared to downhill, because there's probably so much going on and so much we don't see to the untrained eye.
Again, I'm not saying that they're "unskilled" or that their sport is "easy", and I have utmost respect for anyone who is at the top of ANY sport, golf included.I hate golf, but it takes a lot of skill. I gained respect for golfers the first time I went out and golfed and couldn't hit the damn ball. Most sports aren't hard to play, they are hard to be good at.
Haha, now we're talkingSo what would be the most difficult sport? Team Downhill mountain biking on a trail you've never ridden against another team who can do anything to stop or slow you down, all while being judged from 0-300 by a multi-nation team of judges.
That list is s**t how is boxing at the top and not MMA? I mean it is the complete combat sport and includes boxing. Boxing is just hands..thats it,MMA you have to worry about everything from every angle. In boxing nobody shoots-in,pick you up over his head,then slam you on yours,and then you have to get back up(or defend on the ground)and fight on your feet again. No kicks,knee,elbows,submissions...just hands. And MMA you dont fight with pillows on your hands either.
