Excellent job, Joebengo. :) --Sugaar 06:09, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is it me or do these sports seem midly retarded? 24.254.92.184 08:03, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is you. They are competions based in traditional jobs and I can only imagine that other peoples had the same kind of traditions but mostly have been lost. I know that many rural sports are also practiced in Australia (they are somwhat different but surprisingly simmilar in many cases) and some others like, stone lifting, in Scotland.

You may want to consider them "redneck" (rural) but using "retarded" obviously only talks of your own intellect. --Sugaar 14:20, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Geese[edit]

Should the Lekeitio geese be mentioned here? --Error 20:25, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Valencian pilota[edit]

Maybe I'm too sensitive, but this sentence seems to state that Valencian pilota is a variant of Basque Pelota:

(pilota)... is by no means limited to Basque lands, being also played in Castile, Rioja, the Land of Valencia (with its own Valencian tradition)

Please, rephrase it.

They are two different ball games. Maybe they share a common origin, but Frontoi was not played in the Land of Valencia until the very end of the XIX century (see Valencian frontó), and no Basque pilotari could play Escala i corda.

Since I got no response I did it myself. --Casaforra (parlem-ne) 09:14, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lokotx-biltzea[edit]

I enjoyed the article and remembered another one: lokotx-biltzea. Anyone wants to add it? Laida —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.86.40.124 (talk) 22:24, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Update[edit]

Ok, I'm mostly done with updating, adding to and sorting out this page. For the more complex ones I've created main articles (such as aizkolaritza etc, the smaller ones are just listed on the rural sports page. Regarding some of the points raised above:

The Lekeitio geese: I haven't included that one because I'm not sure it qualifies as a sport, it is only celebrated in Lekeitio as far as I know and only once a year. But that's just my view.
Lokotx biltzea: done

The ones I haven't yet are articles on the idi-probak and I think I'll tidy up the article on the bolak a bit as well, it looks a bit messy. If I've missed any, do let me know! Akerbeltz (talk) 13:42, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Next update: I've added the antzar jokoa after all, done a bit of digging and it's actually not restricted to Lekeitio. I'm almost done now. I might add a cautionary note regarding the rumours about Zipota... thoughts anyone? Akerbeltz (talk) 11:18, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

-dun[edit]

-dun is more of a suffix even if etymologically it comes from du+n. Note that it is fixed, not flexionable. You say "txapeldunak", but "txapela dutenak" or "txapelak dituztenak". --Error (talk) 19:31, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, but to analyse it as "the one IN a beret" would be stretching it a bit. -dun always marks possession, not location (cf bibotedun, etxedun, zaldidun, betaurrekodun...), hence the amendment :) Akerbeltz (talk) 20:38, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
