    Exactly. Then if you came down too fast you burned your hands. :(
    We did this too.

    mostly played sports i guess. early on we did the parachute and some very basic tumbling, but that was only the first couple years. then we did basketball, dodgeball, newcomb (volleyball except you catch and throw the ball instead of hitting it), actual volleyball eventually. in high school we also added flag football, soccer, and softball. we also did pushups, situps/crunches, and running every day. and in high school we spent one day a week in the weight room. we had a competition week once a year where you competed in various events like tug-o-war, obstacle course, free throw shooting, and whatnot.

    i'm sure we did some other things, but i don't remember them anymore.

    Hey, weren't you an athlete or something ? I remember you posted a pic a while ago and it looked like some kinda team....I remember that cause I'm a really good stalker :eek:

    But yeah, we did sports too. One year we did different sports, one year gymnastics, one year dancing....It all sucked though. I am traumatized.

    i'm very proud of your stalking ability.

    i played football (american) in grades 7-12, basketball in 7-9 (yes, i hate basketball. i still don't know why i bothered more than one year), and track in 7-8 and again 11-12. and if you really want to go back, i played soccer in kindegarten and 1st grades, and baseball all through elementary school.

    i think you are probably thinking of my 7th or 8th grade track picture.

    It's all the stuff like running, throwing, jumping, hurdles, all those events. We do them in the summer.

    Also, sports are never interesting to watch and Piaf y'know that bench thing, at our school we had circuit training for a bit (awesome) and one of the things was to do weight lifting with the benches. xD

    Well, first of all, they should teach you how to think critically; something they don't like you to be able to, as you will realize its true intentions: To condition people into being a whore of so called 'society'.

    Don't think so? Try to disagree with your teachers, you'll see.

    There are alot of jobs out there that require a little more than "how to count." Alot of people actually use angles and such ALOT in their everyday life. I've noticed I do more than often.

    electronics - replace technological literacy in middle school with a simple electrical engineering course.

    replace all those feelgood bullshit requirements (in the district I am in there is a reading class for freshmen a "teen scene" class for 8th graders, and all kinds of other retarded shit) have actual hard science, or hard math courses.

    Overcoming Gullibility 101

    Goodness knows we need such a course, considering the way politicians and others capitalize off of people's willingness to believe anything.
