Hobbies!

Sports, politics, movies, videogames, questionable hobbies, photos from your family vacation, etc. Talk about stuff that isn't ponies or music. But do try to stay on topic and respectful of alternate opinions.

Ummm, its pretty dead, your best chance is to check with your town hall to see if they'll let you look at maps, or to just walk along streams and rivers. If you mean just for info, these sites are pretty good:

I have an eventful life.


I'm everything here minus longboarding (I bike sometimes) snowboarding (I ski) and plus scuba diving.

How lax is Minnesota on the weed/how good is it there? Cuz Cali is niiice for that.




Dude, MN is so dry it's unbelievable. At least around where I live it is. But when I do manage to get some, it's a pretty damn good hit. And as far as how relaxed it is, it's kinda meh. Don't be stupid and no one will give a damn really.


And I would love to try urbex, but I'm too afraid of getting mugged :C

You do 5Ks? You should do Biathlon's or Triathlon's, very intense events, yet I find them quite fun, especially for someone who seems that they might be as active as yourself. I run endurance/cross-country myself.

Do you do any other sports as well?!

Ive been wanting to do a tri, but I am really bad at swimming, no matter how fit I am I cramp up after a couple minutes of treading water xD But yeah, I should definitely look into it. Do you know how long each section is in a tri?
I used to do soccer, baseball, etc but Ive only ever been serious about running. I recently picked up cycling though and Im loving it so far. Oh and me and a friend are probably going to the Arnold Classic this year and competing in the pump and run: benchpress and 5K. Should be fun :)
What distance do you/have you run?

I usually do Biathlon's because I'm not good at the swimming part either, easily my worst section of the event. The length of each section in triathlon's vary but always goes biking>running>swimming to my knowledge, usually they want to keep the swimming in the 1000-1500M range however, biking around 20-40KM & running 5-10KM.

Cycling is so much fun really, even though you have to battle (especially if you go uphill) I find it quite relaxing for the most part in tri's.

The distance I usually run is 5-10K when I go for jogs on my trail behind my house, but the longest I have run is a marathon (Which is over 42K), only once though, I usually do half marathons.

Nowadays I only do it for fun but I used to be MUCH more active before.

Watching Let's Plays
Playing Video Games
Being an nerd in anything I'm interesting in.

I'm the most physical person on this forum. (sarcasm) I don't have many personal hobbies outside of Music, but I'm planning to learn C++ this summer and, when I get a new computer, to start modding games and game development overall.

2 other things I like to do are cause controversy and make things. Not music, but like build stuff with my hands in my garage.

@Motivfs it seems like it would be a bad idea to put swimming last, people would be too tired imo, but yeah maybe Ill start out with a bi. Or maybe I should just go get some swimming lessons at the rec center xD

But yeah trail running is the best. I used to have a 15 mile trail run I did, so relaxing.

Hahaha no, I meant in terms of distance! Swimming always comes in the middle of the race, in which cycling comes right after.

And yes, I love trail running, especially since the trail is right behind my house, quite a luxury I have.
