This randomly pops up on twitter and is moto related because it does not have moto in it.

Difficult is a broad term . Physically demanding? Difficult skill wise ? It must be the former or baseball would be on the list . Hitting a major league pitch might be the most difficult thing to do in sports .

Soccer is out. Any game that involves faking injury for an advantage can piss off

That list is all over the place. 

Example: Volleyball is more difficult than freestyle skiing and skateboarding.

Completely disagree.  Rugby is FAR more physically demanding from a cardiovascular standpoint than Soccer.  All day, every day, and twice on Tuesdays.  Our Rugby practices in college were 90% conditioning.  We ran circles around the soccer team as far as being in shape.  Rugby in some ways was more difficult than Moto, but in other ways moto is tougher.  Very similar in terms of physically demanding and overall physical condition required to compete at a high level.

That’s just it tho about these lists. Everyone has their own anecdotal reason why their sport is the hardest and then ppl argue. In reality it’s impossible to compare most of these sports because they’re so different

More difficult than accurately hitting a golf ball?

No reason for moto to be on there. Everyone knows the bike does all the work. /s

Well! I'm pretty good at Ping Pong and it's 47th, so it's a MORE! difficult sport than Supercross, so I feel pretty good about that.

So, just make up your own list with MX at number one and post it on Instagram, that's all they did.

Nobody relies on fact or testing data any more, so just make a nice formatted chart that looks official...

I'd say yes in my opinion .  I'd have a much better chance at accurately hitting a golf ball than hitting a pitch thrown near 100 mph .  There would be pretty much zero chance of me hitting it cleanly .  Now to excel  at either one would be pretty close but I'm giving baseball the edge .

I only threw that out because there have been some pretty successful baseball players that have expressed frustration that they couldn't master golf. I also think pro golfers couldn't master BB though.

Rodeo is on the list twice, I'm a Brit so I have no idea if there is a difference between the two rodeos mentioned, those dudes getting thrown around by bulls looks extremely difficult, but let's face it the ride doesn't last long.

maybe it's my eyes but I don't even see it listed. if so that's not being snubbed, that's just being forgotten (by mistake). not a big deal.

For me Moto was a LOT harder than Rugby. But I am from New Zealand and was born with a Rugby ball in my hands and 2 older brothers to toughen me up. But any team sport where you can pass the ball to someone else can’t be as hard as moto where it’s all on you and there is no whistle to give you a mini Rest. But, you will always come away from the Rugby field feeling like you got beaten up, where as if all goes to plan at moto you’ll be exhausted but not beaten up. Although the potential for a big injury is far greater in moto. We laugh when we are at rugby and a kid gets knocked out and it’s a big deal. That’s just a normal day at moto.

I can't argue with that really.  Mainly I was referring the to the conditioning from rugby practice and preparation for the matches versus the actual match itself. I know that our conditioning for Rugby was insane by comparison to any other sport I've played or participated in my life (baseball, basketball, football, rugby, moto, rodeo, soccer).  I was in absolutely insane shape when playing rugby - granted I was in my early mid-20's and should have been.  On off days, i could throw on some running shoes on a whim and go on a 10 mile run like it was nothing and the next day feel completely normal.  Either way, both sports are very tough from a physical condition.  Soccer was all aerobic conditioning where Rugby added the anaerobic in with the aerobic and thus made it more tough (by far).

Except for faking an injury so you don't point out of a regional 250 supercross class, right? Wink

Difficult physically ?

skill? 
 

danger?

so many variables. All I always say is until they’ve tried it, they will never understand moto has everything that makes something difficult. 
I respect any pro at anything. But some on that list are silly.
