Sports/Simulation games that you would never do IRL

[Deleted member 25310]

Weird title, so let me explain: What games have you played and enjoyed over the IRL thing? Or in my case, could never do. I always wanted to play Baseball, but it dosen't have a prominant stay here in my country, so I played a few baseball games and fell in love with the sport. Anything similar that might have happened to you?

Shaunwhite Snowboarding
Looks cool and it's fun! But I can't risk it

All the golf games definitely. That shit is expensive AF. Wii golf my goated for make it fun and accesible.

Also i love extreme sports but due to my poor physical condition and cost to learn some of them i think i prefer playing video games of them. Snowboard and skii games for example are my cup of tea.

Tony Hawk's style skateboarding. I have done rollerblading in my youth, though. That's as extreme as I get.

Skateboarding.

I tried my hand at it as a kid, almost broke my teeth, and left it. Then I almost killed poor Tony Hawk on the daily, too XD

Strangely, I'm a competent rollerblader. I guess it's just one of those things.

lol me too, at least I tried to skate, only because everyone in the neighborhood also wanted to be like Tony Hawk... Crazy how much boom a person can have in their life and fade away from the public conciousness.

Karate/Martial arts in general.
I did Jujutsu for a few years as a kid, but I don't think I have the discipline for something like that anymore, let alone the strength lol, so I'll stick to fighting games.

...You mean Jiujitsu, right? Or I guess you hunted evil spirits as a kid for fun lol.

The martial art, 柔術, but I know it seems to have various pronunciations. It has always been pronounced like that where I'm from.

I remember taking Tae-Kwon-do lessons as a small child. They wanted me to break boards at 6 years old with my kicks. I was like I barely know how to throw a punch. Needless to say, I didn't last very long.

Golf:

I don't have a lot of patience and also I am very bad at math and It would be impossible for me to calculate how the trajectory of the wind works and those things ?

I see... Didn't know there where other ways to spell it.

Oh, that's easy. Windjammers!

You get all of the thrill of competitive discus throwing, without the life-or-death stakes common to the sport.
