Seems like most kids nowadays sit around and play video games all day. It also seems like, compared to when I was a kid 25 years ago, there are a lot of different sports/activities for kids to do that were once considered weird or just not mainstream. My son plays baseball in the spring and is decent, but lacks the attention span to hang in for an entire game (Gets that from me) and has tried basketball and soccer which he hates. His two things that he excels at are mountain biking and wrestling. He is legitimately good at both and between the two, probably better at mountain biking. To me, both will make him a better adult because you dont have a team to rely on and your individual skills and efforts determine how good you will be at them, so I have no complaints. Both are a lot of fun for him and great activities, they are just not the most conventional sports/activities to be a part of at 9 years old. I know Duder's son plays hockey and there are a couple kids who race, so what other weird sports/activities do your kids do and how did you get involved in that?
