Favorite Niche Sport?

I think I own all those Niche sport games. Ladder Golf, Horse Shoes, Corn Hole, Ping Pong, Darts, Bocce Ball, Lawn Darts (illegal), and a few more.

Preparing for the upcoming season....

Oh, yea and Collegiate LaCrosse

I am suprised that no one else has said Golf. Oh wait, GMScud mentioned it.

I like the horses, mainly because I live 5 minutes from the Saratoga Race Track. I used to work there summers when I was in college, great summer job.

You ever been there before? It's definitely worth the trip up from NYC.

Really? No, never have. Maybe I'll check it out some time. Is horse racing fun to follow if you're not into gambling, or is it all about the bets? And how do you get into it?

A lot of people seem to like NCAA Lacrosse. I never quite got into lacrosse, but I know it has a passionate fan base.

Monster Trucks. (Monster Jam)

Laugh all you want, but I'm not a redneck and if you see them in person, you'd be impressed. Great family events too, even my wife enjoys seeing them. The drivers love kids and will take a ton of time to sign stuff and talk to you and your children. It's how all sports should be. My son actually got me into the sport when he was two years old. :D

Took my son to another show this weekend at the Buck Motorsports Park in Lancaster. We went to the Linc (yes, Eagles stadium) in Philly last month for a BIG show that will be on SPEED Channel soon.

What's not to like about a 5-ton truck with an 1600-1800 HP big block Ford or 572 Chevy engine? They sound amazing...like a muscle car but 5 times louder.

From the Philly show:

Check out the awesome save starting after the wheelie at about 0:20.

After 1:00 gets good.

These guys have some driving skills to control a 10,000-pound vehicle like this.

I'm not a huge gambler, you don't have to be to enjoy the track. Plus, Saratoga is all about the scene. You never know what celebrities you might see, there's great food & drinks, and just strolling around is a lot of fun. I bet a couple of bucks here and there, nothing major.

When I worked there I was much more in tune as to who the big trainers/jockeys/horses were. Now I just pick up a program and try to act like I know what I'm doing. But again for me it's more about just taking in the whole scene that's fun.

Growing up, I was heavy into anything that was a sport. Nowadays, the biggest niches I follow are NASCAR and Soccer. Soccer wise, I follow Premier League mostly, but I keep my eye on the major European leagues and the big tourneys (Champions League, Euro Cup, CONCACAF, World Cup), as well as DC United.

I'm a big Tony Stewart fan when it comes to NASCAR. I started following NASCAR when he made the jump from open wheel to stock cars. I prefer open wheel racing overall. I used to be big into Formula 1, back in the days of Nigel Mansell, Ayrton Senna, but before Michael Schumacher got big.

When the Tour de France is on (like now), I'll sit and watch parts of each day if I can. It's even better if the tour goes through towns I've either been to, or have family in. I casually follow College Lacrosse since I went to a school where Lacrosse was king and everything else played 2nd fiddle. I keep an eye on MMA and Boxing, but won't go out of my way to order or watch unless I know the fight card is stacked.

I used to LOVE the Indy/CART series before the IRL started and ruined it. The races were on every weekend on ABC and I never missed one. Bobby Rahal was my favorite driver.

This was back in the Rahal/Mears/Unser Jr/Fittipaldi/Lyundyk/Mario Andretti days.

I've even taken a lap around Indy (in a tour bus) and toured the racing museum when I was 6 years old.

I would say Soccer for me, especially when either the US or Ecuador (my home country) play.


Hey Ruhskins, my wife is from Ecuador!

I would say soccer for me as well. I usually root for USA, Chile (my father's home country) and Ecuador thanks to my wife.

That is crazy I was there too! I sat near the Chicken Strips stand. My son went for the first time, he loved it but still loves baseball more.
