I go sledding most of the time.

And when that isnt good enough we tie a canoe behind my truck and drag it, it's fun because it doesnt steer.

Yeah, those two are the most expencive. I skate too, not much though, usually just when I can't ride my bike. Skating is cheap though. I also wake skate which isnt to bad if you already have a boat.

Skating is decently cheap. You can buy a nice deck with all the nice parts for like $150. I wish biking was that cheap.

yeah im going to just get some used board. i can get a morrow for like 30 bucks. it was a rage. they make horrible bikes too...sweet!

i also have a whole new view on people new to riding...just trying to learn about something as seemingly simple as snowboarding is really hard. i can only imagine how hard it must be for biking.

Photography makes any board sport or BMX look cheap... especially if you get hooked on that terrible-but-sweet brand that starts with L

Road or MTB racing gives it a run for its money though, with the quest to build the lightest bike you can without making it too weak, but making it too weak anyway and destroying it every season... actually that's BMX too but the parts are cheaper for us

My user title is a hint. Canon bodies might be expensive for the good ones, but most of their lenses aren't 3 grand..
