I sit, eat food and pass gas.






















Seriously.




























Okay no I don't. I lied. I do homework. Gonna get a job this year and might be taking up BMX so I can hang out with my brother and my cousin when they go skating at some NICE indoor parks.

A friend and I built a quarter pipe this summer, and I brought his hoffman BMX on it. It's not that hard to learn, but the pain is inhuman if you fall. I put the end of the bars into my groin. That was July, and I can still almost feel it.

I dont get snow so I'm on my bike all year round and if it gets too cold pull out the old hoddie and away I go. Apart from riding I do aggressive inline, some skating, play games (C-S mainly), FOAMY, school (sort of ), work and coffee can't forget coffee for those early morning rides or just from having a late night.

I play racquet ball and swim most of the time now when I'm not riding. I want to start taking up skiing again. I was really REALLY competive when I used to live in Steamboat Springs CO. It was great I was a part of the JO team and skiied 6 days a week 6 months a year. Its hard to find the skiing that I'm used to living in VA. East coast just isn''t the west no matter how hard they try.

So far the most common other things we do is Counter-strike and skiing/snowboarding.
I guess because many of use here live on/near mountains, and have fast enough reflex for counter-strike...

One of the more unique other sports are horse riding, paintball, racquet ball and shooting/archery.. don't mess with hickok45 guys.

Wow, lots of CS players and snowboarders. UT2k4 is where it's at baby, (although nov. 16 when half-life 2 comes out that will occupy all of my free time). I'd love to pick up snowboarding or skiing again (I used to do it in Oregon) but don't have the time when hHS hockey season starts up.

Ummm... What's this "winter" thing you speak of? Here in Fort Lauderdale when it gets oh like Jan - Feb and I dont feel like riding I go sea kayaking. If it ever gets below about 70 degrees F. I go outside and laugh at the locals in their scarves and winter jackets (I'm really from Charlotte, NC but I am forced to live here for now by work, school and my evil inlaws)

Well,

I am unoriginal for saying I do some of this stuff.

1. Snowboard (as much as I bike)
2. Play PC games online, right now I am into SWBF.
3. Spend time with my lady and make food / drink some alcohol after a long day.
4. I work. ( that is the ****** part of life )
5. I teach Guitar for money for my new bike... that I am saving for of course.
6. I play in a band (This is where most of my time is) and we rehearse 4 times a week, we are record another short length CD, and we play around all the clubs and venues in San Diego... Belly Up, Blind Melons, The Boulevard, Neimans Etc. Here is our URL if you like local bands, ****** recording is up there though www.hmdmusic.com
7. I surf this forum (I think you all forgot to mention that one hehe)



Matt

I play disc golf (tournament level), ski/snowboard like every one else, mountain biking of course, and offroading my Jeep Cherokee and Chevy pickup as much as time and money (to fix broken parts) allow.

Oh yeah, when its too muddy or snowy to bike, I can be found on my ATV with a chainsaw in the woods cutting down trees, to extend the singletack/ATVtrack trail I have been slowly building over the years on my farm. Its all young growth, hardly any trees can get any thicker than 4 inches in diameter cause its nearly all bedrock in the woods next to my house.

Used to play cs in NeX! clan but the leader got cocky after I kicked his butt several times over. He unclanned me. I wanna play but dial up really sucks. 3-4 to 1 ratio on cs on DSL.

Snowboard as much as money allows for, XC skiing, riding when the snow isn't to deep. I'm trying to get into winter hiking this year, but that might just develop into another money pit for new gear.

Oh yea, school and my job fit in between all of those somehow ....and I have the grades and the paycheck to prove that.
