Chasin' bass

Chasin' arse
Chasin' beer

Chasin' Jesus
Chasin' speed (velocity, you naughty children)
Chasin' dollars
Chasin' deeds

When I finally quit chasing life long enough for life to catch up to me, I got to ride the wind with fine folks like ya'll.

That's no hobby, it's a way of life.

That's good wrist action training for quad handle flying!

Started playing Dungeons & Dragons at age 6. Been playing off and on ever since. While I was in the military, I picked up snowboarding (downhill) and hit the slopes over 40 days a season. It was all East Coast small hills though, so take that with a grain of salt.

Bit of a movie buff. Picked up a small collection of DVD movies while they were in the "in thing" (a little over 700 movies on DVD). Now I'm working on Blu-Ray collection. Nowhere near as big, and don't buy anywhere near as often....

Moved to DC, picked up World of Warcraft and played that 6-8hrs a night AFTER WORK. Backed off from that a bit.

Picked up kiting in Fall of '08. Used to buggy every chance I got, now I buggy at the Wildwood Buggy Bash, and thats about it. Hit the water and snow every chance I get (prefer snowkiting to downhill snowboarding).

Still playing World of Warcraft, D&D, and watching movies, but kiting is the primary focus.

Off roading, (wheeling) I have had 8 Jeeps and am a trail guide for Jeep Jamboree Canada. Been wheeling since 1977.
Now I do both Kiting and wheeling, this is getting expensive.

R/C Planes, Helis and cars for the last 30 years or so. not so much after taking up kiting because I can fly a kite in just about any wind and its much more fun to me. I fly at the field where my RC club is, so sometimes I buggy over to where they are and mess with their heads with a jump or two. I see alot of guys who fly RC also like kites of some sort, I guess its the whole "flying things" facination among us.

I also love landsailing, hobie cattin' and my Harley. Camping, trout fishing...

Work a little, kite, work some more, fly r/c airplanes, work again, bicycle,did I mention work,
kayak. Add in the wife and dogs and you have a pretty full plate. We won't go into the guitars, drums and other musical items (love them beans)

Ice hockey, snowboarding and beers!

And, although it pays for the expensive trips and gear, work really gets in the way of having some serious fun.

I,ve allways played in the wind,early on I had a sail and skates , did'nt know how to stop but that did'nt stop me from going fast ,been at it ever since. Used to buy and sell old farm tractors and do antique tractor pulls , actually build a weight shift pull sled for a local fire dept. Rebuilt 3 houses over the years. Local bass fishing still keeps us busy after work. Actualy flying is cutting into my "building things" time , I like it.

Randonneuring* and kayak surfing.

S
*Randonneuring aka Audax riding - long distance road bicycling events. Over the course you must maintain an average speed of greater than 15km/hr for the first 600 km. For rides longer than 600km, your average speed is allowed decrease to 12km/h for the kilometers over 600 km. Major randonneuring events include: Paris - Brest - Paris; Boston - Montreal - Boston; Rocky Mountain 1200, these are 1200km rides that must be completed within 90 hours of the start time. (I never got beyond 600km in less than 40h.

I definitely dig camping as well, was not on my list, but there is a huge camper in my driveway!

Had to narrow it down over the years but for the last several years its been

martial arts , photography, music (mandolin, used to play the drum kit but sold it, and only have a djembe left).

Video games
Guitar
Horseriding (before wife and kids)
Snowboarding
hacky sac

I met my good friend in 2007 at work. He was holding a surfing magazine something I've always wanted to try. Talking about that, he told me about kiteboading, that's the day I became hooked. Two years later I was still in love with the idea and bought my first kite my 6m access xt. Waiting for the access to arrive, I picked up my 3-line ozone imp and finally got my taste of power. Going on two years this October I see no turning back. I still play guitar, and still don't know any songs. Although I love every minute I spend relaxed in the basement with a bottle of Mickey's focused on nothing else but makin' noise it is only second best to kiting.

That is exactly the extent at which I play the guitar

Before Kiting
Flying airplanes
Remote airplanes
Any type of sailing
Anything in the water
Shoosting guns ( I never kill anything I just like blowing stuff away )
Golf
Man after looking at all of that its no wonder I never have any money
I don't drop hobbies I just rotate them almost with the seasons

IN-Line Skating. directing the Central Park (NY) Skate Patrol Skate School for a few years.
Making Beer
Drinking Beer
Making Beer
Drinking Beer

Got into kites
Still drink beer
The water bottle holder in my Ivanpah buggy holds a 24oz PBR nicely

Noticing guns keep popping up. Didn't really think of that as a hobby but it certainly qualifies with time money and passion. I love shooting skeet and trap as well as shooting rifles and handguns at the range. I hunted with my dad and grandfathers when younger but not much in the last 30 years or so.

Hey Angus,

Skated CP at a few Empire skate nights and Big Apple Rolls. Bummed I missed BAR'11 this year due to conflicting plans. I know Peter L., Mika, and Michael G. on the CP skate patrol. Great group. Do you ever get back up to skate?

Was a mad ass downhiller MTB, that was until I cased a lander and broke a collar bone.

Kiting is heaps safer no trees and rocks to dodge

My other hobbies
