That was me too. I did a winter sport since high school until about 25-26 years old. Never wanted to work 9-5 and held out as long as I could. Actually became bored with what I was doing around 21 years old, but kept going as it was a good way to travel, get a bike (road or bmx) and ride all over the place, bring bike home and make money on it every time.

Had to get married and start populating the world though. Pre kids, house, own business, circa 2000 approx >600 kays a week, since kids around 200-250, sometimes a little more if really lucky.

I was only asking to see where you got to go, see and do. How involved you got.
