....so you are definitely not the older guy I played against!!! I'm planning to be there this coming tuesday night, drop by if you have a chance!
Ooops!! Sorry, I thought I'd figured out the average age of Calgary badminton players since my Sunday visit at YMCA! No worries, I'm sure at my level of footwork, you can outrun me with your cane!
Hahaha...Kitty is probably thinking that you are as old as Badrad Cooler is that young punk who you love to pound the shuttle at !!! Oops, sorry that was SmashingBird, Hey Kitty, you should take pictures!
Cooler, it's very nice meeting you last night but you forgot to bring your cane!! Definitely my games last night wouldn't be as much fun without you in my doubles game. My feather birds were flying real fast in that "air tight" gym and I couldn't use any of mine. I could tell I was breathing out more oxygen than what I breath in !!
WWC, the way I'd put it is "I thought Cooler is at around the same age as Badrad".......I still want to survive at VRC!! Too bad, I didn't bring a camera. Otherwise you would have seen how relaxed Cooler was playing against my double partner and me!
Great to meet you too Kitty. I guess it's your first time to sample some of our low calorie Calgary Lite 'air' over here. Yah, it would make you feel like breathing out more than breathing in My cane? LOL, it's in my gym bag. I bring it out only if I've gotten bruised and beaten bad on some off nights. I manage to get back my tube of AS-20 after the session. One person 'unintentionally' took my 'full' tube for his/her empty tube (well, 1 used shuttle left). I missed some shots because I was scanning the gym for my missing tube of shuttle. We still manage to beat them pretty good tho
So what days are the badminton at U or C cause I want to start to play again since I haven't in a long time. So there's tuesday, friday and sunday i believe or I don't remember the times. thanks
hillhurst community: friday alway have 4 to 6 people waiting on the 4 courts. monday nite is less crowded but monday nite is only for the summer. friday nite drop in is 6-7$(shuttle included) where as monday nite drop in is 4$(shuttle not included)
cooler, are you bald? I'm just asking because there are regulars at the U of C who can play fairly well. And they're bald, haha...(One of them kinda scares me though...)
Action Man, I can guarantee you Cooler has even more hair than I do (my hairdresser complained his fingers sore after doing my hair), UNLESS he's wearing a wig....not possible cause his wig will fall off when he jumps around!?!
Hahaha, i must have overlooked this thread. That semi bald guy likely be the 5'10" indian guy, he was professionally trained back in India. He's quite good, much better than me i may add. He can do backhand corner to corner even when the shuttle drop to his waist/thigh level. About my hair, hehe, it was cut 1.5 weeks ago at the time i met kitty. (or i have a set of wigs with various length that i rotate wearing them weekly )
Hahaha this reminds me about that accident I had at the barber shop about a month ago, I had my hair comepletely shaved off (kinda looked like this: , not a very pretty sight!) Oh, and that guy can pull off some pretty amazing shots...Makes me wanna play more often...So, do you guys have coaches? I used to have one, until the club disbanded and he took all my money . He said he used to be coach back in China (Kinda vague, I know...)
well i have to saay that the best place to play in Calgary is at the University of Calgary and considering that im going there now i will be able to play badminton almost every day of the week well the days that its open for badminton anyways, there gym is big and its great to play there cant wait
