Snowboarding.
Been riding since '98.

Highlights have been trips to Utah and Jackson Hole Wyoming.

This season I'm riding my dream board -- Neversummer Revolver -- Rocker between the feet with a positive camber zone that starts just outside the bindings. A soft but firm noodle of a board representing some of the newest technologies in the last 2-3 years with the camber revolution in snowboarding. This thing just flexes like no other. It's like boarding re-defined for me. I'm like a lil kid in a playground, just buttering everything and anything I can. It locks into presses beautifully.

What's interesting is that I think from the speeds I have become accustomed to on the 6R -- I can now charge harder on the board disregarding the chatter from having a softer board.

My latest is doing time trials in a Miata track car. The car is supercharged, weighs in at slightly less than 2000 lbs and has close to 200 WHP. This is at Sears Point last Friday.

I brew beer and am a referee for women's flat track roller derby (Home - Women). I also play PC games. I used to do taekwondo, caving, and rock climbing but have not done those in the past year. I have not been underground (caving) in more than two years except for a body recovery this Spring.

I like to shoot (especially my bow), hunt, fish, and coach soccer. Currently I am spending 4 days a week at the football field. I also work fulltime and go to school fulltime. I'm in the 3rd year of my bachelor's in IT-Info Assurance and Security. In my spare time (LMFAO) I like to ride my beautiful raven.

Edit:Forgot about semi-professional beer drinking. I gave up professional beer drinking when I got out of the Navy.

Figured I'd just resurrect this thread instead of starting a new one. ;)

So Kristen and I finally got back out on the trails today. We are both horribly out of shape endurance wise. I used to be able to do 20+ mile rides with 1000 elevation change. Today I did 3 miles with no more than 75 foot elevation change and I feel like I just ran a marathon lol. It's been over a year since I've been on my bike and two since she's been on hers. But I've got to get back into shape. I've lost a lot of the weight I wanted to. But I still have more to go and need to get the rest off with hard work. Just diet alone isn't cutting it anymore. My legs feel like jello but it's a good feeling again. Finally! Not to mention to start to forget how beautiful some of our rural areas can be when you're blowing by then at 80mph :D

Snowboarding. It changed my life. I enjoy it more than riding any motorcycle... Just a little bit. Backcountry, powder stashes, glades, trees, all the shit I dream of and pursue. I started when I was 23. Winter after I started riding motorcycles.

Have a few hobbies, some where old professions but life goes on.

I still do a bit of Fine Art Photography with a couple of local shows every other year or so. I try to take my camera with me when I ride just in case I run by something I like. :) Got a question about how to use a camera, lighting, metering, just ask.

Old Fart

I have done custom woodwork for the last 30 plus years. I do a lot of stuff for the old car hobby locally. Truck beds, dashes and a console from time to time. Working on a 31 Ford now. It was a steel car but we cut the body off and I am making it into a woody. Just finished reproducing the wood mounting pieces for a 40 Ford sedan delivery. They bring me sawdust and I get to try and make new parts from that. I guess the other hobby I have is being with my 7 grandkids. They keep Pops pretty busy. At 62 I just bought my FZ so I could leave the Venture in the garage for the long runs.
I enjoy fishing as well especially when I get to go to the Boundry Waters in Minnesota.

I have a good long standing hobby for headphones and audio. For my headphone rig alone, I have spent around $1300-1500, planning on upgrading soon to a bigger better setup too.

I also enjoy computers, hate working on them, love seeing results of them though.
