Cool thread!
I'm into buying and trading cryptocurrency, climbing, hiking with my girlfriend/dogs, and eating weed/watching movies....
I used to be into BASE jumping though until I met my current lady and adopted my rescue dogs....meeting her and adopting them gave me a reason to want to stick around to make it to be an old man
I also saw a few of my friends die and get really fucking wrecked. You never forget the images of your friend splattered
One night my mentor and I were drinking and he got tears in his eyes and told me that if we kept jumping we were going to see every body around us die. He had over 3,000 base jumps at this point and I had been involved in the sport since I was 18 (this was when I was around 30 years old). This was after already witnessing enough fatalities for a lifetime. I'm not a trained medical professional or an army guy, I'm not really capable of continuing to see broken and splattered bodies with organs and bones out. Its too much for me. I had been involved with 4 fatalities at this point on skydiving dropzones and at illegal objects with BASE.
I made the really tough decision to bow out as my jumps were starting to get more technical (aerials off power towers/bridges and freefalls off cliffs) and I didn't want to leave my gf/dogs behind if I messed up (all it takes is one small error and its over especially with the extremely technical jumps). I had enough of it and sold my gear and made the decision to stick with safer hobbies and have not regretted it
