Sports you do when it’s not ski season?

I picked up downhill skateboarding at the start of the summer and it’s been pretty good so far (even though I just busted my ankle doing it 🙁). I also recently started aggressive inline skating and it’s been pretty fun to learn things in the skatepark, super stoked to upgrade my garage-sale blades with bigger frames and wheels. What do you guys do to get your adrenaline/steeze fix in the summer months?

Basketball when I can but my schedule is too full to do something else. It goes like this
6:30: rise
8:00: go to work
8:30-5: work
5:30-9: school and study
9:30-10:30: gym
10:30-11:30: eat meal I prepped on the weekend and go to sleep


After typing that out I realize how much I hate that my life is monotonous and its not changing for 3 years. Skiiing is the only thing that makes it at all bearable. What the fuck guys

Sucks playing soccer in men’s leagues compared to teams in high school and such. Just too varied of competition.

That’s a solid list OP, I used to downhill longboard back when i was cool. Now i’m older with money so just crotch rockets. On rare occasion i see boarders in the canyon and miss it, wanna drop the bike and pick up a board. I’m too many years out of experience
Blading is also a badass and lost art. Skiing is so fruity compared to inline

Ultimate is such an under rated sport. Everyone is so chill, still wildly athletic, and just a fun game. 10/10 would recommend

I climb and run to stay in shape, also my day job is on a farm rn so that keeps my joints nice and fucked up for ski season

Mountain Biking and skim boarding, but I only do either a couple times a year now. I used to skate a bit too but I'm far too busy now to do much of those things at all.

I agree on ultimate but its actually easy to injure yourself because it's a lot of top speed direction change top speed=acls galore

Skimbarding is dope! I tried it in Cali a few weeks ago and would love to do it more but I need to connect with the community here in Chicago. One of my dh skate buddies does it but I have yet to link up with him again.

Downhill mountain biking, scrambling and rock climbing. I bmx too but rollerblading would be sick to learn!

Yeah it's fun, good workout too actually because you're doing a lot of running on sand. I started when I was 10 and by the time I was about 16 it got really big where I'm from. There were comps every year for a couple years running, but everyone here just did puddle skimming because there isn't ever much surf on PEI in any consistent way but there are a LOT of flat beaches. When banshee bungees first dropped we were all excited because we could get a much longer run. One time they had this ridiculous demo in a parking lot with a big wooden construction full of astro turf and some boxes with water pumped in. It's really fun to skim on grass actually if you get a heavy rain. If you have close clipped grass on a hill you can fly.

It was inline skating back then, it's fixed gear biking now.

I just started looking at street ski rollers retailers online as another option of excerise- been thinking about giving them a try next year- Im not so sure how durable they are or it's even possible to do few air tricks on them as they seem to be easy to break as I dont want to spend $300-500 for a set of rollers to be broken couple weeks or a month.
