I am to old to sk8 anymore but its fun to show these younger generations that the old man can still land a kick flip and olly over a basketball,lol...I do what ever my body will let me do and then I pay for it the next morning. I love to play basketball even though it kills me for the next 2 days, I fish, play drums, golf, I have 3 children so their hobbies are my hobbies, My son and I race our Emaxx trucks now and then when they aint broke. I got myself addicted to Delta Force 2 about 3 years ago(Internet Game) and play it in the evenings when the kids are sleeping. My favorite hobby has to be............hmnnnn.....ok ok, hands down, my 4 wheeler. Dont get to do it as much As  i'd like but still is my all time favorite.


Title: Re: Hobbies
Post by: Bigscrb15 on May 10, 2005, 08:36:13 PM
Delta Force used to be my favorite game, I dont play it anymore because I dont have time and everyone cheats in the multiplayer rooms. I agree with youon the rc trucks they are broke more than they work, but they are fun. if you need parts for them goto extreme hobby zone in winter haven at spring lake(used to be Aero R/C in lakeland) they are excellent people there!

Are there any other hobbies than this?  Just kidding.  I like windfalling (commonly known as windsurfing.)  I've perfected the art and they may be adding windfalling as a new sport.  I use to SCUBA but haven't in years.  Still love it.  Love fishing but only get to go when I get an invite from family.  Can't wait to buy a boat of my own.  I jet ski, attempt to hunt, and I think I may try sailing.  I like camping, canoeing, skiing (snow.)  So many hobbies so little time.  
Then there's my dog.  I've had to rename her issues.  She chews her nails w/ issues of abandonment cause I'm usually gone every weekend.
Can't forget my number one hobby.  Starting my chiropractic business.  Can't wait till I open.

Hey BigDaddy-  Jeff and I were Heavy into R/C for years, keeping up with the technology about broke us ...LOL.
We were sponsered by Wynns and local hobby shops, raced from Ft. Pierce to Ft. Lauderdale.  We were thinking about getting a load of clay out at our camp and draging our stuff out.  We also did some indoor racing at the skating rinks.
I had fun painting the bodies, have to paint them backwards  [smiley=Wacko.gif] details first.  I miss it sometimes....untill I get on my bike and RIDE ;D

I have to agree the r/c trucks are great, and they are very expensive to maintain but well worth it.

Mine(HPI Savage .25 PullStart, 7" UFO wheels with Psycho Tires, Aluminum Suspension, Blue Shocks, Tuned Pipe, Dual Disk Break upgrade. 4spider gear diff upgrade. high flow air filter. White 1500HD Crew Cab Body to match my real truck.)

The only real difference between the 2 is i set my ride height lower for better handling, other than that and the tires they are pretty much the same.

Let's see, I have many, just not enough time to enjoy them all. Riding quads with my son and friends is first. Boating, fishing, hunting, camping, driving my rc truck and car. Been into rc for years, a rc10 first, the old one with the gold aluminum frame with many upgrades. Then got the new one, a b3, now they have the b4. Then I got a savage, and have spent way to much on it, but when stuf breaks I upgrade to delay another breakdown of same. My son and I love to race together.
Spending time with my kids and friends is my favorite though.
