Lately, I've been wondering which is more crazy.

football or freestyle skiing/biking (downhill)?

Now skiing and biking are my favorite things to do, but I read that football players inject themselves with very strong painkillers before games. which leads me to think, is pro football more extreme? would a pro football player, faced with its professional skiing equivalent, say a near - vertical drop in to a 80 foot step down or some nutz urban shizz, drop in? is football scarier?

I don't know what lead me to think this, but, opinions?

freestyle and urban skiing is way scarier and painful than foot ball in every way and i know this because I still play high school football now downhill mountain biking i have to say is pretty fucking sketchy its not as hard to do as stomp a hard trick but it just fucks with your mind and if you fall your fucked

I think the question is about pro football.

Pro football would be the scariest for sure. Imagine being a kick returner on special teams. Fuck that.

i know but you would adjust to it just like you have to adjust from middle school than high school to college i was scared to play on jr varsity in highschool but i adjusted quickly im nervous to play in college but i will adjust so what im getting at is theres a reason there pro if you were in a postion to be a pro football player a pro skier and a pro down hill mountain biker. in my opinion football would be the easiest of the three while downhill and skiing would be about a tie

I haven't played football since 7th grade. I'm playing my junior year and it's a little scarier than i remember, but i've come to one conclusion. You gotta be meaner than the guy in front of you on the line. Knock the fuck out of him the ball is snapped. Being a pussy doesn't go anywhere in football.

BUT i have never felt more nervous than when i dropped in to hit jumps bigger than 30 ft for the first time last season. But that is the best feeling in the world in my opinion.

I get more nervous skiing than when i do with football.
