Any form of cricket, followed by soccer, followed by AFL. Do enjoy watching some rugby too, but only ever played once.
vce: english, methods, spesh, chemistry, physics, geography.

Motorsport! Particualry circuit racing (i.e. Formula One). Why? Because there is just something about pushing the limits of what is physically possible and then going to push that limit even further. Also with all the design and technology that goes into it. The field is always changing and improving and trying to find another way to design and improve that no one else has come up with yet.

And no I'm not going to have the arguement on wether Motorsport is sport or not (It has sport in the name! and it is competition and they have to be really athletic, i.e. pulling up to 5G in some corners, requiring strong neck muscles e.t.c Can lost 2kg of weight as fluids throughout a race. Ok maybe I have started aruguing BUT IT IS A SPORT!)

Agreed. Apparently it costs teams on average around 10 million pounds or some other absurd amount to gain like 1 second for their lap times. By the way, Vettel FTW.

For me Football (Soccer) follows F1 and after Football comes Tennis.

Yeh a shitload of money for the tiniest gain, but its worth it. And Vettel may have talent but he's had a superior car, pound for pound Hamilton is the better driver all the way! Suprisingly even Alonso agress (never thought that would happen).

Yeah I guess, I want to see Hamilton at Red Bull when Webber retires alongside Vettel, see who the better driver really is. The thing is that when Vettel is slightly lower in the grid, he finds it harder to gain places in comparison to the other top drivers, perhaps because he rarely has been in that position during the year. If he takes pole he usually blitzes the field. We all know he has incredible pace on his own but I question his actual racing skills (overtakes etc.) which we all know Hamilton does have even though he does get carried away a lot of times which is why he was so inconsistent this year.

To watch? football. I am a complete insomniac and i love watching late night/early morning matches on sbs and One :D
To me it's pretty much the only sport i can watch because there's always a level of unpredicability in each game. And the players can be ridiculously hot :P haha
Afl is pretty boring, in my opinion it's just mindless kicking LOL

To do?  SKATEBOARDING.
Absolutely the best sport out!
It's such an acomplishment mastering new SKILLZ after so many bruises and concrete grazes

Agreed. There is no doubting that Vettel has talent, but when he ends up back in the pack he seems to tangle with others. e.g. Button @ spa last year and a couple (I think it was one of the Toro Rossos) this year at Spa e.t.c. Yeh Hamilton has been getting carried away lately, this year hasn't been his year, and to make up for the decreasing trend he was going through, he took more risks that didn't pay off, and became even more frustrated. I I'm hoping he can bounced back this next year, we don't want to see him go the way that Villeneuve (jnr) did. I can still remember Lewis overtooking Fernando (at that time the current world champion) around the outside in his first ever corner of F1 racing. It will also be interesting to see how Raikkonen does returning with Renault.
