does ‘Debating Soc’ count?
Sports you play as an adult
Dan Tennis? Haven’t bought one yet, but I used to have Prince. I’ll be getting the Wilson Ultra - v3 with babolat strings when I get into it.
Table Tennis, I was using the butterfly Timo Boll 2000, but my coach got me a gki one, which I prefer. Still need to figure out my strengths before I get a pricier one or get one customised. But I’ll probably stick to butterfly.
Badminton, I have a yonex arc saber, very happy with it.

My son has got massively into skateboarding so I bought a reissue Powell deck to join in when he goes to the skatepark. Initially just to cruise around. Started getting back into it and was acting like I was young kid again. Slammed hard on to my face trying to olie over a puddle. Pulled tendons in both my shoulder and ankle and took me out from all exercise for about two months (ankle ligaments were really painful). Also looked a right twat in front of loads of kids including my son . Learnt that I now no longer bounce when falling and that I am way to old to skateboard
A couple of my mates have bought some long boards just for cruising around in the summer. The boards do look pretty cool not sure about the riders.
I was contemplating a long board as looked pretty cool in st ives as there was loads of middle aged guys on them. Not sure I would look as cool in Leeds
Does wanking count?
Am joining a gym for the first in a years on Monday.
Going to get myself properly henched up.

I dont know whether ro be impressed or mortified by the 40 somethings on here skateboarding. Either way, be careful out there lads.
Mortified is the right answer.
Mad_Cyril glad the guy carried on filming
Christian yeah definitely don’t do this.
The recovery from injury time as one gets into one’s ‘sunset years’ is indeed rather alarming. I used to walk off an ACL tear or a broken collarbone with the help of 6 cans of Stella and a kebab when I was in my 20s. Now it takes c5 years and £150 BUPA excess to recover from a stubbed toe.
Dan if only it was doing a trick of this degree. Mine was an Ollie over a puddle. At least my face broke most of my fall
