Sport or Not a Sport

[Torque]

I don't see dirt bikes as a sport though. Goes under the same category as Nascar. I would say all racing is not a sport, but I believe Track is.

ever raced a motorcycle? It's tough, while i can see both sides ("you are sitting on your butt") riding a motorcross bike properly means very little sitting, and typically your arms are sore and fell like you spent the day lifting weights. It's not just physical fitness in all racing it's also fitness and endurance of the mind and knowing yourself and your vehicle. I would think of racing as 'more' of a sport if all riders/drivers used IDENTICAL cars/bikes/vehicles and winning was dependant purely on YOUR talent.

get me?

Got you. Motorcycles to some degree, dirtbikes/4wheelers are more effective than a frikin gym on your arms, especially when you're on rough terrain. Same with horseback riding, you're not just sitting on the horse letting them do all the work, after an hour I practically slide off with jello legs and abs and I've been doing it for years.
