Other hobbies?

Beekeeping - also on the local association's committee and do all their IT stuff
Coffee - as other have said trying new beans, finding cafes around the world while traveling and talking about it too much on here
Photography - mostly birds and travel, need to get into the editing properly at some point
A bit of home automation, but thats more trying to simplify things getting a little out of hand....

What type of Longboard land or surf? Man, I miss my Sector 9 Pin tail that I used to use for getting me to and from the skatepark. That thing on 70mm wheels used to cruise so effortlessly. - compared to the 50mm I'd have on my skateboard. My friend had a Sector 9, i think it was called a skywalker or something. That thing was huge wasn't ever a fan of it and preferred pintails but it was spectacular. Swear it couldn't have been far off of 5' lol.

Land. It's a Lush freebryd I got from Vandem longboards. I take it my folks occasionally as its great going along the sea front there.

The new Freebyrd LoPro is a lower version of the timeless Lush Freebyrd - now pressed with rocker for an even lower ride height and a more comfortable ride! The Freebyrd is a drop-through longboard offering from Lush Longboards, built low for an easy push and footbrake. A great start to...

That looks great! Did you ever try Freebords? My friend bought one but I just couldn't get on with it at all

I’ve just gotten a new MTB and hoping to meet some people when I get out to trails/ riding. Having moved to England 18 months ago it’s been difficult making new friends. Figured getting back into a hobby will help. Hopefully.

Also thinking of getting an RC car again for a bit of weekend fun.

See if a local bike shop, or local group that the local shop knows, does a Sunday ride
 
Driving and arsing about with cars
SIM Racing
Gaming
Any sort of technical or DIY project that keeps my mind busy
And the last few years quite a bit of weekend day raving, very social and a great way to destress with mates

Used to also do a load of photography and image editing but AI has really killed my love of that regrettably. I would also like to get back into cycling again, during covid a for a few years after I was out all the time (50-100 miles a week) but changes with work have limited my free time for that.
 
Hey @Feek - is it a 2 day ban for @gamerdude1989 for using Postimage? That would put it on par with those who get 2 days for replying in the Random Image Thread without including an image.

My hobby was clubbing in the 2000s and again in the mid-2010s. It eventually dried up both times but it's stepped back up post-COVID. House/trance franchises such as Gatecrasher, Godskitchen, Ministry of Sound, Passion, Trancecoda, Tidy Tracks, Insomniacz, Frantic and Amnesia to name a few have come back with sell-out daytime and nighttime raves. Outside of Firefox browser and Nintendo Switch 2, clubbing is what I live for :-)

I also collect club lights, which run on the DMX network protocol. It's similar to the instruction set that MIDI uses with musical instruments except it's for lighting.
 
I'm attending college to finally try and obtain GCSEs in English and Maths. My English teacher sees potential in something and so has me believing I could actually write. So lately I've started doing recreational writing, it's actually pretty therapeutic.
 
In no particular order

Photography - Taking photos mostly, the gear part only as to serve the photo taking.
Guitars - I like the gear more than playing, since I suck at it
Bonsai trees - I have been doing since 2019.
Gym - Love it and hate it. I love the weights part, hate the cardio part.
Cooking - don't really get enough time to do it.
Headphones - Gone back to it after 20 years absent in a big way last year.
Keyboards - This has snuck up to me and now I have like half a dozen really rather expensive keyboards
Japanese ceramics - Not sure if this is a hobby, but everytime I am in the Far East I like to pick up 1 piece of ceramic
Gaming - much less frequent, I watch more gaming reviews/streams than I play myself despite having all the current gen consoles and an active Game Pass sub.
Coffee - I roast my own beans from time to time.
General tech stuff, anything from getting a new dyson to a new monitor or headphone amp or flash for my camera is exiting.
