Competitive paintball. I used to play frequently, but haven't been in years.
I used to race motocross, but I got tired of injuries and I got to the point where competition was so serious, training and riding became like a job.
All of the other hobbies I like, I still do..... mini bikes, project cars, playing with my dogs, traveling, 4 wheeling, hiking, going to games (baseball, hockey, football), hanging with good friends, snowboarding.
I snowboard as much as I can. Last season was the best ever, I am self employed and would take the day off every time snow fell the day before. I must have had a dozen sunny days up there with fresh powder laid down the day before. I'd go by myself, with whoever was going, or on the ski bus.
I haven't been so passionate about something since my early motocross days.
I have a 5 acre property that I have began setting up as my little hobby compound. I'm building a mini-bike track, and I have some RC car jumps set up. I have some big mounds out in the field for 4 wheeling my Blazer.
I have an outdoor weight room, just an overhang to keep everything from getting soaked. I love training outdoors. My plates are all rusted, but it is awesome to be out there on a nice day as opposed to being in a gym.
My buddy and I are going to make some strong man equipment and start doing some of that soon.
My dream for my property was to set up a dog rescue facility. I rescued three dogs over the course of a few months, but ended up loving them so much that I kept them as my family pets
I did end up rescuing three horses too, but they are much more costly to keep. I take in any animal that someone brings me, so that is how I ended up with the horses. My plans are for it to be completely for dogs since I enjoy working with them.
Someday I hope to set up a non profit and have a legitimate dog foster home though. I love dogs and have always wanted to make a difference.
My wife loves all the animals too, so it has been very cool having this place to keep them.
We are getting chickens next week.... finally i'll have a constant supply of legit free range eggs!
