Other than cars, of course

I sang in a choir for 3 years (I stopped 2 years ago), did gymnastics for 9 years (stopped earlier this year) and have tinkered with computers forever. Pictured is a trophy I won for a solo in "Yesterday", the song that helped our choir win our class against choirs from all over the US. It was awesome. I miss it a bit, to be honest.

What do you guys do?

Hobbies other than... cars?

For real though, me and my dad go sailing often. Nice change of pace just bobbing about in the Solent, plus everyone is so friendly! Congrats on the choir win as well, sounds awesome.

Cycling (just getting back into it), and I would like to get back into "making" music, but we will see.

If I got into airplanes too I would definitely be filing chapter 11 within 2 years

I was in band from 6th grade until 10th grade, then I dropped it this year so I could go to tech school and be around cars...

I'm picking band back up next year though.

I also design houses on the Sims (I don't have another program to use, shhh)

I'm in choir, but not nearly as intensely as you, it would seem. Other than that, swimming, cycling, technically rugby (our school team never got off the ground), my 3 aquariums, eating food (you think I'm kidding), and if you're familiar with a program called "Teen Court", I do that as well. Other stuff too, but that is what I can think of off-hand.

Chris Clarke > Manuél Ferrari

You just have to figure out how to fly other peoples airplanes.

I play some video games that aren't car related, spend a lot of time with my kids (as much as I can when I'm working), that's about it.

I used to do kendo, the martial art where you hit people and shout. Now I just drink, cook, and ride/fiddle with bikes.

Currently I'm fixing up a friend's road bike that needed "a little" work from the picture I was sent. Found out it was in awful shape - hacked together with leftovers, frayed brake cables, and it was involved in a pretty bad crash at some point. Ugh. Got the front working, time to figure out the rears.

I secretly am dirty at golf, I play DII for my school and get a decent scholarship plus I walked on to our DI (sort of) rifle team which has beaten West Point more than once since Ive been there. But cars are still by far and away the top of my list

Fly Fishing, mountain biking, liquor.

Bicyclopnik.

I like bikes of the non motorized variety(Don't worry I love motorcycles too).

This sounds strange coming from me, a short and quite overweight Opponaut.

and also Hikeopnik

I like Hiking out in the wilderness.

Makes me laugh just typing this because I'm allergic to physical labor yet the stuff I enjoy the most all include physical activity.

DoYouEvenShift > Dsscats

Guns, airplanes, working out.

Fly fishing, snowboarding and golf mostly. I'm in Colorado so all I really need is an excuse to go outside.

Used to have a pretty sweet marine tank. Cycle and run a lot, game a lot, watch tons of movies, read quite a bit. Obsessed with NFL, been to wimbledon once and watch a fair bit of tennis. Wrote an entire (shite) novel once to prove to myself I could do it. I'm a big fan of rum too but I'm not sure that counts.

Music. I've sang in many choirs, although my voice lends itself me too solo work. I've done a lot of musical theatre, and have also played guitar in a few different bands (I also own about 7 guitars). I currently conduct the choir at the church I attend. I'm also currently working on some comedic singer/songwriter material for a YouTube channel.

Also, I like guns. I have a few of them. I built an AR-15.

I was going to go do a program so I could work on cars then I decided I want to be an engineer so I had to scrap that to take some PLTW classes.

Computers, videogames, kids, comics. Mostly car stuff though.

macanamera > Alfalfa

I use to bike but I fucked up my ankle too badly to do it anymore about two years ago, I snowboard a lot in the winter, I go to the gym religiously and I like to party. I use to do crew but stopped that when I fucked up my ankle.

Jagvar > Dsscats

Hiking, above all else. But I also like running and kayaking.

Also, photography. And occasionally, furniture restoration.

Computers and Smartphones.

Broke your screen on your iPhone/Android/Windoze/BB phone? I got you covered. Want some hardware mods (colour change) or software mods (root/jailbreak)? I'm your guy.

I can not keep my hands out of computing devices. I swear the second the iPhone 6 comes out I'm going to crack it open and see what I can do to it.

As such, this is also where I'd like to take my career as well!!! :)

Besides cars? Probably music. I play the guitar.

Check out the Carbon Cub SS. That thing is bad as hell, not to mention sexy carbon prop nose cone.

This is a great thread.

I always like to try new things.

I regularly play Lacrosse (anyone else on Oppo lax?) Go to the gym, I'm always listening to music, hanging out with friends, and another thing is house/yard work! Just finished painting my deck. Project before that was pretty much redesigning my front yard.

ttyymmnn > Dsscats

You've given up singing entirely? I'm sure there are venues—churches, community choirs, local productions—that you could lend your voice to.

ThePenguin > Dsscats
08/13/2014 at 18:10

Used to be in band still play clarinet occasionally. Play tennis competitively under USTA. And airplanes as I want to be an aerodynamics engineer (aerodynamicist?).

Local Miata Bro > Dsscats
08/13/2014 at 18:13

I play the Viola, drum set, and the guitar. I also autocross and wrestled in high school

Adventure in foreign lands; hike, camp and ski in the American outdoors; play and obsessively watch/follow soccer; enjoy whiskey, wine, and women.

JGrabowMSt > Dsscats
08/13/2014 at 18:26

I'm a cyclist, and I build/fix computers. I also have been very lazily maintaining two blogs, neither of which I will probably ever link here because the material just isn't related in any way, and it's just for fun, so when I say lazily, I mean I hardly ever update because I have a life, and other things are more important to me, like my car.

Dsscats > ttyymmnn

Im honestly not sure if I want to. Life is really busy at the moment. Maybe when I graduate

Enjoy a hikeolopnik this summer for me man!

I love hiking, but knee surgery means no hiking this summer.

Alex B > Dsscats

I bike, build legos, and play piano mainly. When I'm not hanging with friends.

DylanToback > Dsscats
08/13/2014 at 20:09

I would say car related things have become my primary hobby, but I am still involved in a wide range of other things. For example, bouldering, martial arts (Taekwondo, silat, Brazilian Jujitsu, Kung Fu, Jeet Kune Do, escrima, etc...), shooting, coffee (brewing and occasional roasting), beer brewing, drawing, and photography.

vorspringing > Dsscats
08/13/2014 at 20:12

Music (I was in band through HS and college and still sing occasionally,) gaming, cooking, and I'm pretty decent with general home renovation stuff, although I'm to the point with my house that the only things left to do are the bathrooms, and those are out of my league.

Leadbull > thebigbossyboss
08/13/2014 at 20:42

I'm terribly sorry and hope you get better.

I don't know what I'd do without hikelopnik.

thebigbossyboss > Leadbull
08/13/2014 at 20:43

All my sports are knee sports: Bikelopnik, hikelopnik, swimlopnik and ski-olopnik!!!!

Oh well. I can bike a bit and swim a bit now so it's getting better. Water pretty warm too by now.

Leadbull > thebigbossyboss
08/13/2014 at 20:50

The hikelopnik and swimlopnik have been strong this summer. I even did some snorkelopnik down in the caribbean for the first time in like five years. I wanted to do scubalopnik, but the timing/funding didn't work out.

I screwed up my elbow quite badly when I was in high school (a result of bikelopnik). There's some permanent damage, but I'm extremely thankful that it was my arm and not one of my knees.

thebigbossyboss > Leadbull
08/13/2014 at 20:54

snorkellopnik is great. My knee injuries seem to come every few years. Injury 21, 24, and now surgery aged 26. Hopefully I can now go at least 5 years without a dislocation!

Leadbull > thebigbossyboss
08/13/2014 at 21:04

I've got a buddy who suffers from knee dislocations. The joint is apparently otherwise healthy, but it slides out of place like butter if he's not careful. After the first dislocation, it all goes downhill.

thebigbossyboss > Leadbull

Well. Got into airplanes and made that my job, but now because of said job I can no longer afford airplanes....talk about bassackwards. Used to build computers, into bikes now....pedal kind. Cross season is upon us and I will try that out.
