Imagine if other sports were like surfing

Postby waikikikichan » Wed Jan 11, 2017 10:14 am

Imagine if the fields and courts of other sports changed throughout the day. What if the ground got soft or hard or higher or lower ? It interesting when people say "Well I'm good at other sports and pick up things quick, so surfing shouldn't be that hard to learn". Let see what he says if we keep moving the basketball rim or field goal around all the time.

They would just say it's unfair or it's not how to play the game, People are idiots when it comes to their ego but when they take a lesson in waist deep whitewash and get pushed into it and kneel on their 9ft fomie their ego will grow because they can now "surf"
I like surfing, surfing is fun...

That would make basketball much more fun in my opinion and also give some real basis for home court advantage :lol:
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

That looks like a cool new sport: skatepark basketball. You can go vert and finish your air off with a reverse dunk.

Not sure how much sense these comparisons make. Like most Basketballers will suck at surfing, most surfers will suck at Basketball. Consider Golf, where neither ground nor ball are moving, so it should be one of the easiest things to do by your argumentation?
