Did you get exhausted from it by any chance? Try riding one for hours on end with no breaks, and see the kind of stamina it takes to compete.
I don't see how it's any less of a sport than baseball. What's baseball? A player sitting down for the majority of the game, getting paid millions of dollars regardless of whether they win or lose, who swings a stick a few times every game. It all depends on your interpretation.

That's exactly right.
