Other Hobbies? ***PICTURE WARNING***

[Neon]

I've never driven

Not even in a car park in a mates car or something? My dad let me drive down a road when I was about 11.

[Pedsdude]

Driven round a building numerous times, but never fully controlling the car in terms of gear changes etc., or driving on a public road. If I was put in a car and asked to drive to another location I doubt I could do it, and if I could, I doubt I could do it without damaging / killing something.

[Neon]

Lol. I've had a few near misses but no crashes yet. I'm almost rolled my car on a country lane from taking a corner too fast. Skidding on roundabouts when its wet is great fun.

What hobby are you currently doing Peds? Still doing street dance / glowsticking etc?

[Pedsdude]

Gave up on breakdancing because I'm too unfit.

Gave up on glowsticking because I don't have anywhere to practice inside and don't want to look like a retard practicing outside and sucking at it.

As for other hobbies, I can't really think of any. I've been doing a bit of card stuff recently (this kind of stuff: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-xpKjM10x5g - but I'm not as good as him!). I've mainly been relaxing over the Summer playing on the computer and watching TV, a well earned rest Now that I've finally recovered from tonsillitis and the weather is (hopefully) gonna get good, I might make a videos of a few football tricks (not full length videos, cba plus don't know enough tricks to maintain it!).

Yeah I've been restricted by my environment for some things I've wanted to learn.

I've actually picked up on my exercise now the summer has started. I'm doing alot of weight training and working on my leg flexibility. But my feet are way to sore to run at the moment due to muay thai training. They get blisters from the gym floor. then the blister gets torn up straight away. So atm the balls of my feet and big toes are nothing but hard skin, blisters and cuts. But that's nothing superglue doesn't fix everyday...

I'd love to be slick with a deck of cards, but it seems like alot of practise and hard work.

you wish... oh wait.

My hobby is magic! I mostly do card magic, some impromtu stuff(like with borrowed objects and simmilar). I also do XCM(xtreme card manipulation - the video peds showed) and want to achieve this level someday - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWfxrEQsGfA

I'll post some vids of me doing magic shortly(need to get new cards + someone to record me).

Some of it is very easy to learn and looks very impressive, so worth a try.

Follow these tutorials:

That taught me the basics of two handed cuts, and from there I'm going to learn more tricks / manipulation.

A one-handed cut looks slick, too, and is very easy to learn:

Ah those are Actually well good to do, but the deck im using is a cheap 1 quid deck, which is really shiny and the cards slip to easily

[Pedsdude]

Yeah. What you'll find good for slippery cards is colour change:

I've been doing that loads recently and am starting to perfect it. When you start off it's pretty hard to do without making it obvious that you're fiddling around with it, whereas the person in the video does it smoothly and you don't notice him doing it. I reckon if I keep doing this for the next day or so I'll be at that stage

[Rezil]

It's called an Erdnase color change. It's pretty awesome and virtually angleproof. My Ambitious card routine includes that sleight.

Do you really all dont do anything during the holiday?
In holland the majority of the students go working.. I only worked for 4 weeks, now I have to go study for my re-tests again.. But a lot ppl work during the entire summer.. Even been in the newspaper once, that dutch youth, does not throttle back/throttles up in the holiday.

[[SoE]_Zaitsev]

cba to work so much. Can work once I finished my study and work in that job where I want to work.

And once I reach age of 50 or so and I'm still alive I probalby can't wait for the day not to work.

So imo work can come later (Although I'm not saying I don't do completely nothing).

So you count your work as a hobby? I also worked for 4 weeks last month and I don't count that as a hobby.

I asked if no one was working, never said it was my hobby.
