    :lol:
    I feel so bad. I think that sport is kind of ridiculous, and painfully boring to watch. I mean, the oy time it gets even a bit interesting is when someone crash lands. But my cousin used to be 3rd in the world (with shockingly little time and effort, because it's not very hard). I have to pretend that I think it's an awesome sport. :oops:
    I will admit that it takes balls though. I would absolutely panic if I started going that high while bouncing on a trampoline, start thrashing around, and end up on America's Funniest Home Videos if I didn't kill myself. :lol:

    Edit: right after posting this I saw that Canada won the gold medal in women's trampoline. Woo hoo. :lol:

    Lots of things take balls and skills, but that doesn't mean they are sports or world class sporting events. Take chainsaw juggling, for example.

    No offense to your cousin or Canada :mrgreen:

    Oh, none taken (by me... yeah, my cousin might disagree)! It's a really dumb "sport"! :lol: I jumped out of a plane, and that took balls on m part, but I don't imagine skydiving will be a part of the Olympics anytime soon... although it would be fun, as long as it was limited to first time jumpers. Whoever freaks out the least wins.

    Why isn't surfing an Olympic sport yet?

    Running through the last 6 Olympics-

    Barcelona - sure they can head to Northern Spain
    Atlanta - Is there any surfing on the Atlantic coast that isn't a giant distance away?
    Sydney - duh
    Beijing - LOL
    Greece - it's the Mediterranean
    London - I suppose they can go to Cornwall, but I understand it's rather inconsistent

    Rio would be good, though.
