I'd love to be able to fly light aircraft. I did start lessons in the late 90's, but had a few problems and ran out of money after 12 hours at the stick. I was just about to take my air law exams before my 1st solo flight.

 

Always fancied saloon car racing of some description, too.

current hobbies are:

 

Muay Thai, I train 4 times a week, I love it however very hard training.

 

Food dining (I've I think i've almost tried ever Itallian, Bistro, chinese, japanese, Thai, what ever restaurants in and Sunderland and Druham and working my way through Newcastle, Quite a odd Hobbie but i love great food, so me the lass try a new place every week lol.

 

TV and Movies - I am hooked on lost and CSI ( cant get away with 24 :-/ ) every night i have to watch something before i go to bed, funny thing is i dont watch tv except for Top Gear.

 

Reading - love reading although i havent picked any thing up for a while.

 

and i guess my car is a hobbie

 

I dont really have times for others, I used to Bmx for 5 year, been in a few dvd's then i gave it up november 06 after I dislocating and fracturing my right ankle, when i was 8 i used to Ski for sunderland down hill was told i was a born natural so they wanted to train me up, said i could be in the olympics one day but gave it up, like any other kid get bored quick and thought playstations were better :-/ a big regret of mine.

 

I would love to try out tricking, its like martial arts designed for show, there is some amazing kicks! see here http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=tricking&search_type=

 

also i really want to get into drifting looks great fun however I think the big one would have to be rally driving its gotta be amazing!

rowing

 

I used to row. The 7am starts 6 times a week on a frosty river in deepest Winter aren't all they're cracked up to be :)

 

martial arts too - just never got round to it.

 

I did Jiujitsu for a year but somehow lost interest. I wouldn't mind giving Kickboxing a go when/if my knee sorts itself out.

 

banger car racing

 

would love to fly helicopters

 

Both of those would be great to get into.

 

Get into RC helicopers.

I just have and love it. Cheeper than it use to be too.

 

Good job it's cheaper too - a couple of lads near my parents bought an RC chopper years ago and cost a small fortune. I never saw it again after that time it was earth-bound at silly speeds :( Might have to add one my none-existent Christmas list for this year!

You're not near Basingstoke / Hartley Witney are you? I train at kickboxing with a club that meets at those places...

 

I'm in Southampton, so not a million miles away. My knee probably wouldn't be up for that sort of abuse at the moment though. Need to get back into some cycling and work onto running, see how it goes. Never bothers me when wakeboarding/snowboarding though. I miss being able to play squash too.

That's right! Do you know him? No, I haven't tried kung fu although I think Darren does some. I mainly do it for the fitness and flexibility, so one martial art is enough for me! :D

 

Nope! Just had a quick look at that link you posted up! :) I only ask about Kung Fu as it says he's a black belt in both :blink:

 

The fitness side is the main reason I fancy giving it go really. Much more entertaining than the trudge down to the gym. The ability to knock a 16 stone man sideways at will is just an added side bonus :D
