What do you love that other members might not be aware of?

[duotone]

For me its skateboarding.

I have loved watching it ever since I was around 12 years old. I am 27 now. Bad day at work? I often reach for a dvd when I get home or if its a bad half day at work:ohmy:, then at lunchtime I usually log onto youtube to watch some clips, like; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcQUUh6p_BE

For me there is nothing better than watching a talented skater putting their heart into what they are doing. That combined with decent filming & a great soundtrack and I'm golden. I get the best of both worlds, music & skateboarding. I have heard so many new bands/solo artists just from watching skateboarding.

When push comes to shove, regardless of your mood what at your core do you love and will never fail to cheer you up?

Feel free to post youtube clips/ links etc.

Swing Dancing. I love it and have been doing it for years. This is quite a fast song these guys are dancing too but they put some nice aerials in there so check it out!:

This is west coast swing ... more modern and sexy . I like the lindy hop style better as this style is a bit poser-ish in my opinion, but sometimes play around and throw in a bit of it if the music suits.:

I was an amateur snowboarder for a couple years. 4wheeling my Cherokee comes to mind too, I've also studied martial arts, primarily Sil-lum kung fu, most of my life

[jbird1264]

I'm a minor league baseball fan and particularly enjoy seeing baseball in all sorts of minor league outposts. To date, I've seen baseball in 126 different parks.

I used to be quite into video games - first person shooters, esp the Call of Duty series. Not as out there as some of these other interests you guys have.

I love snowboarding but my locale makes it expensive. I also am an avid cyclist!

The Red Sox.

I have red socks too, but I only wear them at Christmas.

[zretineo1979]

I love coffee and sunglasses. Also, I enjoy mission and arts and crafts furniture. And ultra modern furniture, (Danish modern and Eames etc.)
Did I mention craigslist? and flea markets? How about garage sales? Auctions? Yep. I would have to say that I enjoy finding the good deals. buying them and trading or reselling them for what I really want. FUN STUFF!!! :thumbup1:

[Jasonian]

I LOVE snowboarding, but like the other guy, my location makes it too expensive to enjoy very often.

My guitar usually is the appropriate medicine for many troubling situations.

Kung Fu, guitar, watches, fast cars etc

West African Hand Drumming...primarily Djembe, with an occasional attempt on the Dununs. Picked it up several years ago and it's now becoming almost as much an obsession as shaving! :w00t:

I raced 4-wheelers for a few years. Sadly I have to give it up due to several damaged discs in my back. Now I race r/c cars and recently started r/c rock crawling such as this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPqZQsKHJ9s.

[Marcus_C]

I own three a-series engines but not one car, when I can I race sailing boats and there are many episodes of "the goon show" I can recite almost word for word.

[americanarmsdealer]

I love watching NASCAR (yes, I realize they usually only turn left:001_rolle). Jeff Gordon is my favorite driver, followed closely by Joey Logano. I've got to have someone to cheer for when Gordon finally hangs up his helmet.:biggrin1:

For some strange reason, I'm also extremely interested in anything from the old Soviet/com block countries. Watches, guns, memorabilia, or whatever. I think because all of that stuff came from countries that were under a government system that I consider to be broken.

[maxman]

Sports Cars of any type, guns, researching the finer things in life and making plans to buy them knowing full well that I can't.
Some people think that would be frustrating, but I don't find it so.

oh and Pizza Pops. I love those things. Especially the Pepproni and Bacon ones.
oooh, and Smartfood Popcorn.

My Ipod touch. I think that's about it. for now.

EDIT: wait, I almost forgot Formula 1.

Sturgeon Spearing on Lake Winnebago

A crazy sport I have been doing for 24 yrs. We enjoy camaraderie, stories, drinks and time together. Everyone is like a big family and for some, this is the only time we see each other during the year. Very much about family and tradition.

Here is a video of what can happen with a bit of homework and some luck.

Thanks.

It's about 39 degrees here in the north east and since my MGB is wearing its hard top, I decided to uncover it (no garage space for it in the winter) and take it for a ride today. Can't wait for spring. :thumbup:

[DemonGeminiX]

Well, I'm new here and I'm intentionally trying to stay as anonymous as possible for now, so there isn't going to be very much about me that members here will know, but I do have a few odd interests and hobbies. I'll name one here for starters:

Old film noir movies. Films like The Maltese Falcon and The Big Sleep (and even other noir films that Humphrey Bogart hasn't starred in... although I believe that Bogart was the greatest actor to have ever lived). I just think older suspense and film noir were done better, they were done right compared to the crap that's being put out today. And this is coming from a horror and scifi fiend.

One good way to remain anonymous is to not state that you are trying to remain anonymous in one of your first posts!:lol:

I definitely prefer the 1st vid to the 2nd. To me it just seems much more energetic & rock n rolly! Like you said the 2nd one seems a bit more poser-ish. I LOVE the freeze (is that what you call it?) at 1.13 secs on the 1st vid, also the aerials & costumes make it seem much more interesting to watch, for someone who has never seen it before.

Other interests I have include playing trumpet, fishing, and western tv shows and movies.

Im a MSTie, fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000. And I prefer Mike to Joel and I know that that is enough to make some of you hate me. In fact, my signature is a line from the movie said by Tom Servo, but is completely fitting for this forum and the whole wet shaving experience.

Not hobby cars, they were daily drivers. wish I still had them. The Fiat lives right done the street, so I still have "visitation rights". The Spitfire was the better of the two, well except for the Lucas "problems".
1974 Triumph Spitfire. 1982 Fiat Spider Pininfarina.
Still love old sports cars.

As a musician both by way of a hobby and as my occupation, I am thrilled to see a musician who takes an interest in something other than the guitar (everyone seems to play guitar), which is also one of the instruments I am guilty of playing, making me a hypocrite.

As you enjoy the music of West Africa, there is a Tuareg group from Mali named 'Tinariwen' that fuses contemporary Western music (as in the 'Western world', not Western Africa) with traditional Malian music. Check them out if you get the time. :thumbup:

Keep drumming, sir!

Duotone, this kid was my houseguest for a month last summer while he and his girlfriend (her dad's a friend of ours) were touring the U.S. - the tricks he did on his skateboard scared me to death!

I had a Spitfire that I drove to work most days. I say most days, because I had to walk to a service station once in a while. Calling a Spitfire a "daily driver" is a cute comment, at least for those of us who have owned one and tried to get to work five days a week with our butts about 6 inches off the pavement, at the mercy of Lucas electric components.

Thanks, Justin. I'm familiar with Tinariwen and enjoy their music very much, as I do most of the music from Mali. I'm always amazed at how West African music (and particularly that from Mali, part of the old Malinke empire) is tightly linked to American musical styles. The root connections between blues, jazz, and the West African styles is remarkable.

BTW, I am a former guitar player, but after years of struggling and minimal progress, I finally gave it up, sold the guitar, and moved on. I think I've found my true musical calling with African percussion! :001_cool:
