Hey guys I know this may sound kind of dumb and something that you would do at like some gay summer camp but I think it'd be cool for everyone to post an interesting fact about you and your life that doesn't involve gaming.
I always enjoy getting to know all the members here :p
I'll start first: I was the number 6 play of year on ESPN's Top 10 plays of the year in 2006.

I used to be able to have a 45+ inch vertical which enabled me to get my head over the rim and dunk from the free throw line. I also went to nationals in the triple jump.

Because I'm an idiot and hurt my knee at 21 before I could :( Biggest regret of my life so far. Would probably have millions of views since I'm white and only 6'1 or so. I can still dunk but the stuff I can do now isn't nearly as impressive.

I helped break my highschool's 30 year old 4x400 relay record the 1st year I came back to track after doing golf for 2 years. Too bad I didn't have much practice otherwise we would've broken it by even more ;)

Nah we weren't that good. Quite honestly if I had been running for the 2 years I played golf we would've had a chance if we all ran our best that day. That day I ran my leg of the race in 50-52 seconds depending on where you time it with the handoffs. It was my best day but 2 of our runners had one of their worst days there. It was over 100 degrees on the track (bowl shaped area, track at bottom).
Conditions were terrible because we we're used to running in at most 80 degree weather... North Dakota isn't supposed to get that hot! lol
Shelly's friends list is highly competitive...
Fun fact...
I went on an 18 tournament winning streak for chess back in middle school...then stopped when I got into high school...haven't touched a board in over 10 years...

Last year as a freshman, I played 3rd Varsity singles for my high school tennis team and was named all Group 4 singles. (Group 4 is the best group, it goes by school sizes, group 4 being the most students) and I also have been as high as 4th in the state in tournament rankings, but stopped playing tournaments for a long time and now I am like 15 or something.

in '04 as a senior was on my high school's varsity ice hockey team that won our first state championship since 1971. and got to play twice at continental airlines arena (2nd game televised), where the devils used to play. i'm the one on the right laying next to the trophy. HAHA the blonde hair was just something our line did for the state tournament! and the person in the red star is a friend and the brother of one of my teammates on that team who passed away a couple months after that night. RIP Rob...you'll always be missed

I skated in 1 competition when I was probably 11 in the beginners set and took 2nd never tried again after that. I skated for 7 years total. I probably could have gotten pretty far in skating if I actually took it seriously but I was in it for the fun of it and great friendships.
Edit: just to clarify that when I say skating I mean skateboarding.

Just to one up all you runner's out there (yeah Krillin talkin' to you buddy) When Bernard Legat broke the American 2 mile record last month he called me post race and told me I was his hero!!! Not kidding. It helps that my boy is the head x-cross and track and field coach for UVA and Robby Andrews was Legat's rabbit. But yeah, that's all just a side note right...?
