Racing may not be, but record setting is.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

Which sport do you think requires the most 'skill' to be proficient? I'm not talking about athleticism.

I'd have to say Baseball, Golf, and Ice Hockey would be at the top.

Boat racing is also extremely dangerous.  Just ask any of the dead guys who've tried to set a new speed record.

I thought this was a discussion about skill, not danger.

Well the guys in the wingsuits are participating in a prety dangerous sport aswell, the I suppose rodeo  probably sends more people to the hospital than most sports out there.

Well after reading the threads this morning.... swimming on the beach in Israel may be one. :D

Probably more towards dangerous but just navigating around women with guns takes some skill.

If you say golf isn't a sport your very ignorant.....it's more physically demanding then you think.

If you disagree, buy a driver then try to hit the ball 300 yards....your back will give out before you hit it that distance.

  Zoney,

  Shumie did some bike racing when he first retired from F1,while it wasnt motogp it was very close and ya he qualified quite well and did ok for an old dude!

  Having done both off road and some track time I think off road riding is slightly tougher.

  I still stand by my statement that boxing is 1 of the hardest sports to be good or skilled at.  Lacrossse is tough too but takes a bckseat to Irish Hurling!!! those guys are insane!!!


    :salute

Wow, i didn't know that, but he has always impressed me.

I have to agree with the lacrosse / hurling comparison.  If anyone doesn't they should look up hurling.
