I don't really like/watch other sports. Alot of folks here in The States like NFL (National Football League/ football here) and my sis likes NHL (National Hockey League/ hockey).

I voted for other, because my fave non motorsport is martial arts. I make Judo, Aikido and Jiu Jitsu.

EXTREME IRONING!! Come on, someone had to choose it. My favourite playing sport would be cricket (or skiing if that counts). My favourite spectator sport, either Aussie Rules Footy or track cycling. Other favourites... CURLING, Iron Chef and mountain unicycling.

I also like martial arts, and I even did Taekwon-do for 7 years and have a red belt with just one point to black!!! But now I just don't have a time for it, and it's not for me... I don't like fighting...

I guess martial arts would be good preparation for rallying? Good strength, fitness, reflexes and 100% concentration & focus?
I never got into martial arts myself, but a few of my friends have and they love(d) it.

There are just two types of martial arts: "sport" and "fight". I did fight version and it was my mistake I think, because in sport version you just train your body, become strong and concentrated, and in foght version you have always to fight, and it's much more difficult, as you always heve not only tiredness, but also pain and different injures... Some bones in my body still feel old pain...)) But I was 3rd in Saint-Petersburg in my category on the championship of Taekwon-do!!!

The basis from my martial arts school is: FUN. It's not austere and it's not sooo dangerous. It's just fighting for fun. Although I'm the only girl in my group.

I'm not really that sporting myself, between being a student, working on the Hillman, and being on duty for the St Andrews Ambulance Corps (which is a volunteer organisation based in Scotland that you often see at big events of all sorts giving emergency aid to the injured etc, so I certainly do get plenty of excersise from it, obviously because of confidentiality regulations I couldn't give you any details of the specific treatments and such I've administered to casualites, but I'll tell you that I'm proficient in various different aspects of first aid, from basic stuff like bandagework and putting unconsious casualites in the 'recovery positon' or dealing with a choking casualty to more severe treatments like administering CPR (you might have heard of it called "The kiss of life" or "mouth to mouth resuscitation", basically it involves causing a casualty who's otherwise about to die because they're not breathing, not consious and they're heart etc are no longer working to 'retrun to life' if you like by restarting their heart and lungs) and my training covered everything from broken bones, fits, gunshot wounds etc up to drugs overdoses, car accidents, spinal and skull injuries, and the like, and I have had to use various of those skills on duties in the past, but as I said we're not allowed to disclose anything about exactly what we've done. Come to think of it my next duty is an REM concert, and concerts are always interesting duties, not only is there music being played but there are often a lot of challenging casualites, it sounds a bit sick and morbid I know but it really does liven up things when we have work to do!! ;D ;D ;D ;D My St Andrews activities also mean I get to use a lot of interesting equipment used by our company (we're orgainised on a semi-militaristic sort of a basis, in that within the corps, which is a national organisation, there are various sections, known as companies, and I'm a member of the Inverclyde section, and also I instruct the Inverclyde cadet section of the company, which is fun because before I was promoted I was a cadet myself once, so I get to train the cadets who'll be joining us on duty one day!) and I even get to help maintain the company's ambulance, which is an old Leyland Sherpa we bought off of the Scottish Ambulance Service, where it was once used by their Paramedics, and is still in very good condition considering it's almost a classic! ) but anyway, the result is that I don't get involved in many sports, because I'm normally busy, and anyway my regular training and duties with the corps means I'm plenty active in my spare time that I'm not using working on the car!!
