| Me....: not really hobbies anymore since they have become a more serious thing. Mainly Airsoft, I started playing Airsoft about a year and a half ago, and i have gone pretty fast since then, I encouraged my friends to play and since they did not have airsoft guns i bought like 6 guns and rented them. I was allowed to play at the school (we have a big field that can be used for that) and we used to play two times a week. Last year I organized an small tournament just for the school students, which was really good; and now i had the idea of organizing a bigger tournament, the school is supporting me because the money collected from the registrations will be donated to the school so... i got a lot of GREAT sponsors, Monster Energy Drink, Airsoft Extreme (AEX an airsoft store) KIMA Corporation (a South Korean Company), and more local companies. So Monster will give everybody who enters the tournament a lot of cool stuff like t-shirts, drinks, stickers, caps, etc and some prizes; AEX will give prizes too, and 10% discount on their products, we will take pictures of the teams and they will appear on the AEX website. The other sponsors gave us money. Here is the webpage of the event: www.airsoftevents.moonfruit.comOther of my hobbies is off-road racing, I LOVE IT. I live in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico; home of the grandaddy of all off-road races, the toughest, longest, oldest off-road race. the BAJA 1000, 1000 MILES OF FUN! I have not raced in it but i´ve been part of a team, well me along my father as "support" aka pits and as sponsors for the team too. A week ago we rented an off-road car, we had a great time, i was the co-pilot and i dont know if you have played DiRT, i do as the co-pilots do on rally races. I also like motocross, i have my own motorcycle. but nothing professional. I used to make or edit videos just as a hobbie but now iam a professional video editor (i can make as much as 200dlls for one video)... so yeah one of my ideas for the clan is making a video... What about you? | |

| I don't get to enjoy my hobbies as much as I use to but I'm a big outdoors person fishing, hunting, camping, paintball, used to ride atv but i'm not allowed anymore something about a tree and a pulled groin muscle but anyway I like playing sports to mainly just American football and baseball. suck at both but its fun! My biggest hobby right now besides video games is keeping up with sports researching and analyzing crap like that just something to keep the mind busy i guess. I'm an EMT by profession and a volunteer firefighter. I teach kids between 13 and 17 about firefighting and how to do that job it's pretty sweet but they always make fun of me cause there all xbox fan boys but then i make them run laps haha. Thats pretty much it for me. Lets hear everyone else! | |

| That must have hurt! Riding a motorcycle or ATV can be dangerous, I haven´t had any serious injuries, yet. | |

| I have to say my biggest hobby is computer programming. I consider myself a geek (Not Nerd) when it comes to computers. I have created some pretty small scale pc games over the years mostly home grown stuff but its fun to start with nothing and build something from scratch. I built my first gaming console when I was 10 and I just completed what I consider the most complete gaming console I have ever built. I have a day job but for the last 4 years I have been competitively gaming (PC) on the side actually winning a couple of tournaments. Its kind of like poker tournaments. You pay to enter with hopes of taking home the big Cash prizes.
My second hobby is collecting Ironman comic books. I got my first one when I was 5 and I have been hooked ever since. Not just comics either. If it is connected to Ironman or the Avengers I have to have it. The more vintage the better! | |

| Yeah, the workings of computers have interested me. I'm planning to build my first PC here shortly, hopefully something to support some pretty heavy games like Crysis and so on. I'm a big time RTS gamer, along with shooters, got a little soft spot for the occasional racer too. Other than gaming I'm a big tinkerer, I spend a lot of time in the garage, working on a ground up rebuild of my quad, a 98 Yamaha Banshee, stripped down and completely rebuilt. New powdercoat, complete engine overhaul, wheels, tires, suspension, etc. The works, just gotta finish up the brake system and put some plastic on it. I'll link up some pics. Here's before... And after... | |
