does the stormtrooper helmet really work as a crush helmet?!? lol
Cavalock, No - thats why I didn't dare wear it ^^; If I wasn't a newbie I may dare it though.
ha ok. am surprised no one wore any mario outfits there. lol
I always go karting once a year with the youth group I used to lead, good fun. As for sports, Im a personal trainer and I teach general martial arts and basic Chen Style Tai Chi. ^_^
That seems really fun. I always wanted to try out Go-cart(w/e), looked like you had a bunch of fun. :)
lol looks like we should call this starwars kartriders XD
lol to the char helemt. Anyway, carting is a sport?? Then again, poker and Nascar is supposedly a sport...
Wow, been a while since I went for Go-kart racing ^^; I think I was 14 or 15 the last time I went for it ^^ I so want that Char helmet d( > _ < )b. As for sports, I usually go for soccer or badminton during the weekends ^^
Ah I miss playing Go-Karts. Always love the wind blowing into your face when going at high speed on a straight path, then trying to cut into your opponent's track in a sharp turn to overtake them. There are way too many sports that I enjoy playing, including the most recent picking up of snowboarding when in Niseko. Could easily number them till about 20+ different sports, but sad to say I'm like a Jack-of-all-trades, Master-at-none.
I usualy do ice skating in winter season and inline skating in summer when the icehalls close. I used to go-kart a lot with friends but since i moved to far away from them for work... nope not anymore. Got a own set of gloves, shoes and a helm just for it, thats because we went to have go-kart fun like 4 or more times per month (sometimes switched for cinema). I was always second, when my bf came along i was third... first place was always the friend of my best friend back then lol... oh my. But Go-Kart is a lot of fun, if it was your first time... don't you have any sore muscles? I had sore muscles on the first days, because the muscles used in go-kart racing werent trained (my arms did hurt the most). Guess my best trained body part are my legs from all the skating and maybe tummy lol.
Badminton is great Danny. but be careful w/ your back. Swimming is the best choice for having back problems... I've been playing badminton (I'm a otaku who also play sports) since 2005 or 2006 i think then stopped playing about half a month being lazy... but recently went to play at least 30min a day cuz I've noticed that I've become weaker... Staring at the PC the whole day doesn't help... I done want to end up getting fat again... it was a nightmare...
Holy cow, roller hockey in Japan?!?! That's awesome! I didn't even know they played that over there. I've been playing roller hockey for some 10 years now, it's my favorite sport and the only one I play. My team won a state championship when I was in high school and we have a banner with our names on it hanging over the hockey rink. Ah those were the days. Of course I still play, just not as much as I'd like to. I wonder how skilled the players in Japan are?
Play badminton on a weekly basis and basketball almost 5 times a week ahh feels great being young
Gym and home workouts 3 times a week. I used to play basketball but the high impact on my knees have taken their toll and I dare not risk it anymore.
I can't wait until summer, then I can go 'mountian' biking again. There are some great trails to ride around here. Will go swimming on occasion, but my favorite now is raquetball.
hmm, seems like you had fun. ^^
is that GoodSmile/Max Factory's team building thing? or they just want to do it for the fun of it ^^ we've got a lot of sporting facilities here but not all sports are served here ^^;;; the sport that has the most facilities is Badminton. we also have some karting circuits here ^^. and for a tropical country, we also have some ice skating rinks ^^
O: Is it "janken" or "junken"? Go-karting!!! They should make go-karting nendoroids!
Dude Danny, the Kungfu-like scene with Haruhi and Yuki is pure win. Made my day. Thanks.
Another fun day for Tokyo's trooper, right Danny? I've always wanted to do some karting but never got around to doing it. BTW the figma Haruhi looks really nice.
i want that char zak helmet. it looks sooooooooooooooooooooo cool
i tried karting at genting highlands in malaysia a few years ago. loved it. ^^; btw, i'm not the sporty type but i do try my very best to go for a run every week if possible.
Video needs more Eurotechno.
Hi Danny, A bit off topic here. I was going thru some of your old photo shoots on Okinawa & found some nice pics. Could you put this one up in your Wallpaper Tool section? It's really nice and hope you can share with us. Thanks in advance. http://www.dannychoo.com/images/photo/blogg_thumbs/4904.jpg
I never got the chance to go-kart, simply because I was always below the height requirements when I went to amusement parks in years back. Now that I'm above the height requirement, I don't go to amusement parks anymore. Looks like I won't be trying go-karting for some time.
No sports for me, but I stay healthy so no problem there I guess. Although I notice my stamina is much lower than when I was still a kid. And that's because I used to do sports intensively when I was a high schooler. ^^ Football, basketball, table tennis, I played quite a number of sports (back then)..
Oooh, guys from Nitro+. I am a big fan of them, would love if you could do an article about them sometime! Also, it is rather interesting that so many % do sports. Since sports do not belong in the otakusphere.
LoL, I'm reading this article just after watching CAPETA (karting/racing anime). I love to go Kart Racing with my buddy's, the problem is, the nearest track has an uphill zig-zag part that pretty much screws me over 'cause I'm the heaviest guy in the group and they don't use ballast... Not that I care, being in last I just start powersliding for kicks! When it's over my back's ruined though...
I've yet to try go cart racing... And I need to get out more often... Me do exercise? Sometimes, ones eery few years...
I have kart-et-ted a few times but the 2 hour drive to the track was not worth it as a long term hobby. Currently the wife and I are enjoying tennis after not playing for a good decade. We still can't do any of the moves from POT but working on it. ;) The courts in my area are usually full of roller hockey folk and I am usually too timid to remind them it is a tennis court and that we came to play. I mean their sticks are bigger than mine ^_^ Only 2 courts in my region are lit well at night. But during the day, it is impossible to find an empty court...
Do you need to take your clothes off when you lose the Junken game? XD
I am an american footballer in London, I am a third class citizen sportwise lol. It is the only sport that has really excited me and made me want to play. We wiped out the preseason and I look forward to an extremely good season. Apart from that, nadda. I did want to try karting... Also, I didn't know you rolled with the guys from Nitro+ as well... I am jealous T_T
Seems like a fun time, riding go carts and playing with figma figures. I'll make sure to bring the Haruhi figure whenever my workplace has a meeting.
I play badminton about once a week ^^ usually monday evenings ^^; I'm not exactly a competitive player tho I like to play for enjoyment and health ^^!
i play semi-pro rugby keeps me healthy if constantly bruised
I go fencing once every week and I did it for more than 4 years but we're running out of members now and it looks like I'll have to look for another sport :( I've been riding my skateboard for 2 years and broke my leg on a rainy day, I continued to do it after my accident but I didn't enjoy it anymore. Went carting about 2 years ago, really enjoyed it but the circuit is too far away :/
I've seen that Char helmet before - cool idea to paint it in a Zaku scheme. But they allowed you to wear your Stormtrooper helmet? Is it really a safety-helmet? Or was that lap filmed for fun and you were going a lot slower than it looked? Around these parts we call it kart-racing. But I've discovered it's not really for me. I've raced a few times and didn't really enjoy it too much. Something about the smells of fumes as you go around the track with 19 other karts bothers me. To answer your other question, my friends and I play paintball on a semi-regular basis. We're hardly a "team" but often we're the same 4 or 5 people that show up while inviting a few others. We play arena-style "speedball" mostly but a few times a year we'll book a local "woodsball" field for tactical military-simulation games. I have several buddies from out of town that visit when we do that - I've learned that the prices for paintball vary dramatically depending on what part of Canada you live in.
I play soccer in the fall and spring...but Karting....I'll just play mario-kart for the safe side...
They sure know how to have fun, didn't know they had kart in Japan~
Just so happens the last sport I ever played in a league was Roller hockey. I love(d) to roller skate. I would've kept going had the league not fallen apart. Good times. Also, do you really think that music matches the video Danny? Surely you have some eurobeat on hand to go with that video. Or at the least a Jpop euro mix.
YEAH GO DANNY! That's all I have to say.
I have a go kart place about ten minutes from my house. Haven't gone since the summer, I think, but I have a great time when I'm there (well, except that they have open face helmets and bugs can fly into your mouth if you're not careful). As for sports, I do karate, but I used to swim and play hockey and lacrosse .
lolz the pic of Haruhi and Yuki.....
go-karting is fun but pretty expensive, my friends and i go about once every two months. i haven't been as active as i used to be since getting into university. but still take the time to work out every 2 days at the gym and occasionally play a game of hockey, basketball or tennis. but i'd have to say my favorite is still paintball. you should go paintballing with your comrades.
Try hockey lol got 2 ribs broken cause of that once.... --_--
... Sports? What's that? :0 I'd love to go farting (karting) regularly, but it's too expensive...
I have an annual memebership for Karting. Im really good at cornering, so its a lot of fun. I also ride motorcycles. Danny, you should try riding a motorcycle (if you havent already). Its awesome!
never do karting before, but will go try later by this year.
