Like for example, obviously I'm a sports fan, but through all of sports the one thing I love watching more than anything is great baseball pitchers. Watching how much movement they can put on a ball is just fun to watch.

To be honest, no.

I can't even watch the sports I've played myself. Watching sport has never given me that feeling you're describing

Roller derby and running. Football, cricket and tennis when I was a kid

Mad props on the roller derby. I found that anything that comes between my feet and the ground is a no go for me.

Never was a runner but back in my 20s I got into tennis for awhile.

I learned to skate as a teenager, and would break in to the local high school on weekends to skate in the quadrangle. I'd line up the old wooden seats and jump them, and jump down flights of stairs... I was crazy...

Then I basically stopped skating for many years until I took up roller derby, and the old skating skills came in useful. I couldn't do half the stuff I used to be able to do, but it still gave me a big grounding for derby
