Mine was keeping venomous snakes and non venomous. Had Southern Copperhead, Western Diamond Back Rattlesnake, False water cobra, corn snakes and a few burmese pythons. Also did skydiving but got annoyed with the weather being so crap in the uk.

Past hobbys have included all things r/c, boats, planes, cars, trucks and a reoccuring one is fast cars, i have had alot of them, TVR, Dax Rush Kit car (With supercharged zetec engine), Evo, GTi-R's, Fiesta RS Turbo, Uno Turbo, Corsa GSi, the list goes on and on. I'm 29 and my car count is 26 so far!

Currently, my hobbys are my Blue BMW M5, my heli's, home cinema, and i keep snakes (Jungle Carpet Pythons and a Texas Leucistic Rat Snake). Only the car and the heli's has any real monthly outlay, the cinema and the snakes have big setup costs but minimal running costs.

Thanks

I used to stand in the middle of cold, windy fields ripping up ten pound notes but it got a bit boring, RC helis was the natural progression!

[Streetluge Chris]

Forgot the Savage Monster truck great fun driving it of the garage roof or a 30ft jump.

Beer, drugs and women

I'm not sure if RC helis are any cheaper

Ditto

and all racket sports, golf, XC cycling, all forms off fishing.

Heli's being the newest (6mths) and Carp Fishing are the only ones I do most lately!

Pretty interesting thread

I'm Sooo into BMX like lots! too many injuries to list now but totally worth every one of them (ohh and mainly trails)
Freestyle & Back Country Skiing are beyond amazing!! Love to chill with friends on the mountain in the snow park or hit up some fresh tracks down some gnarly face.
Photography came into these two early on and since then they both breath life into each other because whether it's taking a good photo of a friend or someone taking one of you doing those sports they give you more motivation and enthusiasm to push yourself further. Photography has blossomed into a whole other hobby and love it! I also love combining it with graphic design and Video

Ohh and I suppose I started playing the guitar about a year or 2 ago but that's just mainly to relax and have fun with when i can't go outside (Ohhh that reminds alos Halo3 lol)

(Ohhh that reminds alos Halo3 lol)
