Naked Sports: Sports Activities for the Nudists

Originally Olympic sports were done naked. Although they require clothing in this day and age, there are athletes that are sticking to that tradition. In light of it being yet another Olympic year, here is a look at 7 real sports nudist and non-nudist people do naked.

Bicycling - As crazy as it sounds naked bicycle riding is legal; under certain conditions. Most of the time, this means an organized ride authorized by the local government. Most of the time these organized rides are sponsored by non-profit groups who want to protest an issue, raise awareness or make money. In 2007 Seattle hosted a World Naked Bike Ride in which hundreds of bicyclers rode through the city in the buff.

I imagine that naked bicycle riding is dangerous. A rider would have to be very careful how they sat on the seat. Maybe there are specially designed bicycle seats for naked people.

Skating - Now this is an interesting concept because unless you have a large slab of concrete on your property you're going to have to go out in public, naked and on skates.

Naked skating is nothing new for San Francisco natives like Sandy Snakenberg, who won a world record in 1999 for the longest distance ever skated in a 24 hour period. Coincidentally Sandy Snakenberg participates in San Francisco's Nude Skate in Golden Gate Park.

Bowling - Apparently naked bowling is the next greatest sport in the world. Bowling alleys are being rented out by nudist groups who want to do a little naked bowling. Part of the reason bowling alleys are so open to the idea is because they claim it keeps customers from trying to steal things since there's nowhere to hide the goods.

To give naked bowling a try check with your local nudist resort or bowling alley for scheduled dates.

Yoga - I'm not sure which is more frightening; naked bicycle riding or men taking naked yoga classes. Oddly enough there are naked yoga classes offered all across the United States.
