I love this r/c hobby and that is most every thing i do. Somtimes i like to go dirt biking on my crf100. All i drive it on are old railway roads and its quite fun to hit fifth and have just a blur go by.[>:]


My rigs: Warhead EVO, Nitro Evader ST, Evader ST and a Raze

I'm kinda new to the whole RC thing as far as nitro goes, but besides my havoc and t-max goes. Love to play paintball, my brother was labeled top player in GA, Think I might have to take it from him next year. Love going out on the lakes in the boat and wake boarding and other towables. Nothing more painful or exciting then getting launched 6 to 10 feet in the air while in a tube(Just try and make sure you don't land head first while the boats at full throttle)OUCH!!! I love the hunting and fishing thing always has been a hobby. Top one though is gonna have top be my babies restoring classic 4x4's current projects are a 78 bronco (563hp dynoed),and a 78 dodge power wagon(Both Beast). If you havent tried paintball You defenitly have to try once.

Man I need to move somewhere other than south western PA to get a better Job!!! Actually my current top 2 hobbies are steelhead fishing on the great lake tributaries, I've got many 200 to 250 dollar fishing rod combos, hell you can only fish with one rod at time but i have about nine steelhead rods both spinning and flyrods. Radio controled cars/ monster trucks/ stadium trucks/ buggies/ truggies over 20 total, most rtr, almost all brands.

My first love used to be motorcycles, mostly the dualsport types because I love on/ offroad not getting chased by the cops, but hurt myself and stopped that hobby. Always wanted a fast car,

See mustangs/viper in previous post, but was threatened that i would be thrown the hell out if i brought a hot rod home. This was when i could afford it. Street racing my escort GT/ don't laugh, Im not talking straight line racing, im talking twisty windy highways. I grew out of that as I need a valid driver's liscense to get to and from work. Bodybuilding prior to injury, this was awhile back.

latest hobby looking for a better paying job, 11.00 an hour don't go very far. Whatever you do don't let your kids grow up to be social workers unless you insist they get a masters to. I love my job but hate the low pay.

I started with models at the age of 5 with my old grandad. We built static and steam powered ships. when i reached 14 I got my first 'proper' RC model. A tamiya hornet. After this beer, girls and motorbikes kicked in and i stopped modelling. When my boy was born It all started up again. Now I have a RC cessna, RAF chipmunk, a collection of old tamiya's, a 1/8th buggy (hyper 7 pro) and now just bought an MGT. I also still build ships (static). Other than that I still have my bike and I play a little golf. Otherwise its all total world domination on the work front

That's another of my hobbies. A few summers ago I played a lot and was getting pretty good, but moved from the south-side of this city to the north side, which makes a 25 minute difference in drive time.

Well I used to be a really big paintball fan and me and my buddy after the first two on two turny we played in that was held in Erie were were offered a full sponcership with them for the amature paintball class. You know free guns and equipment and all that good stuff. Travel the country and play. To bad I was still in High school lol. Pry ganna have to go back up there and see if I still can get it.

As for you JUCD VPR!!!! I will race you any day for titles !!!! Hahahahahaha I have a 1990 toyota pickup truck.... bone stock. The only deal is..... it has to be off road with thick mud, rocky hills, and all that good stuff. Then we can race on the main road so you get your car back lol. I swear it takes me 15 seconds to hit 60 in it. Thats why my bumper sticker is 0-60 in five minutes.

i did lawnmower racing for about 9 months but quit that because i got hurt pretty bad and it was pretty rough going.

i love going fast, loud noises, engines and anything that envolves a combination of the 3... sadly i still have to rely on my parents for transport (which they are rarely willing to do) so i took up nitro, but now i can only make 1 bash every two months or so (so i get REALLY BORED)

although, im now taking up flying and thankfully the field is close to my house, so hopefully my parents will be more willing to take me there

Tried homebrewing cider, didnt quite work out as well as i had hoped and the cider kept growing hair

Tried blacksmithing, couldnt get the fire hot enough so that took a back burner aswell

really want to try Motocross or dirt biking but i dont have the money to buy all my equipment


so... apart from RC what else is there?

JUCD ..... to bad your far away. It would be fun tearing up the woods haha. IDK which would go better in the woods though. The toyota is lighter but the dodge has the power. I havnt gotten stuck yet. Got a stip of mud which they use for dice runs thats about 100yrd of thick mud, soupy mud, water w/mud. Called the mud pit. Bad bump in the middle though, I hit my head off the roof the first time going through it.

When it comes to 4 wheeling, I'd rather have a heavy ole classic 4x4. That old 56 chevy step side 4x4 with the blue printed and balanced engine. that thing would roar. But when it comes to roughing it through the woods, lake, mud, climbing, etc and whatever else we could dream up oh yeah snow. Them old broncos are just mean!!!

I've gone through quite a few phases in my entire 16 years of existance, whether it be collecting stuff, or doing an activity, I always seem to have something to do. I skateboarded for about 8 years, but after a few concussions, many scars, and a wrist injury I decided that slowly killing myself wasn't fun anymore (Any of you former skaters will know what I'm talking about). I used to unicycle a lot too, but stopped mainly due to laziness. As of now, I am heavily involved in bowling (average between 190-200), shooting handguns with my dad (Ruger P89 9mm, Ruger GP100 .357mag, Tuarus PT940 40S&W), playing guitar (ESP M-II), listening to metal, eating/being a couch potato, and of course RC planes and RC cars. I also enjoy making money except when it's a labor intensive job, working on anything mechanical, going to shows with my various metalhead friends, sleeping until 1 or 2 in the afternoon, video games, and I hate going to school with a passion. My life condensed.

Fishing. Floating downriver flyfishing for 30" steelies in my 10' pontoon is almost as much fun as racing RC's!
