Snowmobiling a sport or a recreational activity?

[snocrazy]

Seems every one calls riding snowmobiles on trails and in the woods a sport. I was just wondering every ones take on this. I personally dont consider it to be a "sport".

I always thought a "sport" was a competition. I guess to some on the trails, it is???

I thought it was a drug like crack. I am a addict even starting to twitch and geting very emotional from the lack of it

Recreation

Agree on the Drug choice lol

I'd have to say recreational activity with sport involved.

In other words; if you're doing off trail or even trail twisties and jumps, boondocking, etc., and getting a workout...isn't that considered 'sport'? After this weekend mogul adventure I feel like I hit the gym extremely hard lol!

Recreational for me.

 

[gary_in_neenah]

I consider it a sport if I'm riding,
a hobby if I'm wrenching,
and this winter a big waste of a fine machine!

Zero Miles and counting.

I know it is a recreational activity, however we all call it a sport because it is referenced so often as a sport by adds / internet. Examples, dealers with the name power sport, OEM title Yamaha sport snowmobile accessories, Maps of the world (http://www.mapsofworld.com/adventure-sports/snowmobiling.html) reference it as Snowmobiling is one of the few adventure sports.
Anyhoo just habit after awhile.

I love the sport of snowmobiling, even though I treat it as a recreational activity

Isn't it a sport if you are on a Team?

Probably more of a sport back in my younger days, now, definately more of a recreational activity.

There are team sports and individual sports . Pro Golfers are individauls and its a sport. I guess it how each person looks at it.
I Snowmobile for recreation,,, but some may race, so to me if you race as a pro its a sport !

Call it anything you want, but I did notice that as I get older it seems more like work--but it sure is dang fun!!!!!! The old body can't recover like it use to anymore, but I'm ok with that.

Recreation & "Way of Life", I have to agree, too. Now the races and the different structured completions I would defiantly consider a sport, and yes the drivers/ riders are athletes.
