1. A method for operating a virtual competition on a computerized gaming system, the method comprising: receiving, with the computerized gaming system, real performance data indicative of real performance metrics sensed during a real-life performance of a physical activity;associating, with the computerized gaming system, an identification code to the received real performance data, wherein the identification code is associated with a particular participant; andadjusting, with the computerized gaming system, the virtual competition associated with the particular participant based on the received real performance data associated with the identification code associated with the particular participant. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the adjusting comprises: receiving input data for a request related to the virtual competition, wherein the input data is associated with the particular participant;accessing real performance data associated with the identification code associated with the particular participant; andmodifying a parameter of the virtual competition at least in part based on the real performance data and the request. 3. The method of claim 2, further comprising communicating a modification of the virtual competition based on the modified parameter. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the real performance metrics comprise at least one of airtime, heart rate, distance, speed, impact, and spin rate. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the associating comprises associating the identification code to one of an average of at least one portion of the received real performance data and a single value of the received real performance data. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the adjusting enables participation in the virtual competition by the particular participant by restricting the particular participant's ability in the participation in the virtual competition based on the particular participant's ability in real-life performance of the physical activity. 7. A method for operating a virtual game on a computerized gaming system, the method comprising: receiving, with the computerized gaming system, performance metric data sensed during a real-life performance of a physical activity; andsetting, with the computerized gaming system, at least one control parameter of a virtual game based on the received performance metric data. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the setting comprises: receiving input data for a request related to the virtual game; andmodifying a parameter of the virtual game at least in part based on the received performance metric data and the request. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising communicating a modification of the virtual game based on the modified parameter. 10. The method of claim 7, wherein the performance metric data comprises information indicative of at least one of airtime, heart rate, distance, speed, impact, and spin rate during the real-life performance of the physical activity. 11. The method of claim 7, wherein the setting enables gameplay of the virtual game by a player by restricting the player's ability in the gameplay of the virtual game based on the player's ability in real-life performance of the physical activity. 12. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions recorded thereon for: accessing, with a computerized gaming system, physical performance data sensed during real-life performance of a physical activity, wherein the physical performance data is associated with a player identification code; andmodifying, with the computerized gaming system, an ability of a game character in a virtual game based on the accessed physical performance data, wherein the game character is associated with the player identification code. 13.
