I forgot... I collect old bmx bikes from late 70’s/early 80’s.
Anyone want to donate their old mongoose? Hutch, Schwinn
Scrambler, JMC, Diamondback, or some old parts? Skyway Tuff
wheels, Motomags, vinyl pad set...
:D
Questions:
Which bmx bike did you have?
Which one did you always want?
Did you ever enter any local races?

When I was a kid I had a BMX. Got it from a older kid across the
street. He got a bigger/better one for BMX cross.
Had it for years until it for stolen.
Can't remember brand. Only that is was black and gold

My main hobbies have almost always been sports related.
I played softball 2-3 days a week from the age of 18 until about
48. Unfortunately, I had to give it up due to severe neuropathy
in my feet that makes it very painful to run.
I've also been playing inline hockey since my mid twenties and
luckily I can still skate even with the pain. At one point I
was also playing hockey 2-3 days a week but that's down to once
a week due to my job.
I recently started playing golf again after about 5 years off.
I'm playing every Wednesday night with a group of friends. It's
cheap and I'm really enjoying it.
I also have a mountain bike that I haven't ridden in 5
years...this and the golf was mainly due to having 4 surgeries
in 5 years on my neck and back. But I seem to be healthy now so
hopefully I'll be back on the bike soon.
Other than that, I'm a bit of a TV junkie as well...when I have
time. :)

Strangely forgot my main hobby, if it counts.
Reading.
I love a good book to get immersed in and drop out of reality
for a while.
My morning routine consists of blearily rolling a cigarette and
making a cup of coffee then settling down to go through a few
chapters of my latest read before gearing up for work.
Currently reading Midnight in Chernobyl about the nuclear
disaster, not my usual type of book (crime, thriller and
fantasy) but the back review caught my interest and it has
turned out to be a very interesting read so far.
Learnt a lot about nuclear science (alpha, beta and gamma rays
and their effect and the mechanics of nuclear fusion) that I
will probably never need but may be useful n a Pub Quiz LOL

I forgot one too:
Shooting weapons.
Usually we go to a firing range, but he found a place in the
mountains while riding his quad/ATV, and we went yesterday and
had a blast.
The nice thing is there are no rules like at a firing range they
tell you not to fire more than one round per second, but out in
the woods you can blast them off as fast as you can squeeze the
trigger.
It really makes you appreciate firing weapons in C0D, not having
to refill mags, not having to clean weapons etc..
LoL, can you imagine a weapon disassemble/cleaning mode on C0D
to earn XP? :D

I raced BMX, only for a couple summers. Redline frame with
various parts from Haro and Diamondback. Then we moved about 10
miles out of town. I got into motocross. Raced at a few county
fairs until I was 19. Had a 99 Honda CR 125. Currently have a
2013 YZ 250. Don't get out much to ride. Just takes up space in
my shed. Would like to get a 4-stroke some day. Would probably
ride that more often. I also have a 2003, maybe 04 Haro BMX
bike. It's a Ryan Nyquist R1. Bare metal with clear coat paint.
Pretty cool bike still. It is now my 9 yr old boys bike. He
thinks it's awesome you can pedal backwards without it braking
lol. (It's his first bike of the type)

I have a bone-stock nickel-plated (all O.G.) with motomags
too... never had a wrench touch it, looks like it stepped out of
a time-machine.

So, my Non-Gaming hobbies are what most would consider boring as
hell. I am a calligrapher, and can write in all types of
calligraphy styles, but I am self-taught. My favorite script to
write in is Copperplate/Engravers Script, and Spencerian. I like
the pointed pen styles because they are hard to do. Almost
everybody can do italic, or gothic, but I believe pointed pen
takes the most skill.
So, what are your hobbies? Feel free to include any life
stories, like I did, if you feel like it.

I was really into calligraphy through middle school and high
school. I fell off from it when the local art supply store
stopped carrying ink and pens. Got back into it recently only to
SPILL all my ink and BEND my pen. It happened in such a BS way
it made me not want to do anymore until i find a proper storage
place for my stuff.
As for my hobbies as of now its mostly cars and anime.
Love reading about them, love reading how to fix them, love
comparing their statistics. Only issue is I have no money to
follow my dreams of rebuilding a nice classic. Doesnt even have
to be a muscle car or sports car. I'd gladly rebuild a sedan or
coupe. I was bullied a lot because I was different. If it wasnt
because I was without a dad, it was because I hung around old
people. The teachers felt bad for me because they said I was a
real down to earth person for my age. So they'd invite me to eat
lunch with them. One of my teachers was a car guy and knew i was
into them too. So he gave me a bunch of books and old car
manuals his nephew had worked on who was a mechanic. So I read
them like they were Harry Potter books. Did a book report on one
of the books too. History of Camaros was the topic. Got an A+
and wass the only kid to do so. Got my first kiss froom a girl
who thought thaT was cute.
