Have you tried it?

I consider myself pretty lucky to have ski buds to ride with all the time and some great places nearby to do it. If I was relegated to riding fire roads by myself all the time, I probably wouldn't be into it as much as I am.

definitely tried it. I got my first bike back in the late 80's and had a couple since, though none in the past ten years......got a funky looking wrist from shattering it riding back in HS to prove it. I had fun when I did it, but not as much fun as I do being out on the water in some capacity. Suppose I could take the johnnypoach approach and combine mtb with swimming :lol:

I would get into Kite Surfing in a heartbeat.....but there are very few places that offer instruction in New England and the gear it pretty darn expensive; I'm told about 2 grand for a decent set up with board, harness, kite and wet suit. guess I kinda effed up and shoulda tried to push that purchase through before popping the question to J :lol:

We used to water ski a lot.
Have an awesome ski boat, which sits in storage because the lakes are crazy with stoooopid boaters, and fuel costs make it, not so easy.

I'm getting better at windsurfing. I have a friend who is a junky with this sport. He only considers it a valid day if he sees whitecaps.

(Gotta dig the 80's gaper colors of my sail)

Good for you man, windsurfing is freakin hard. I've got a hard enough time sailing from the seated position with a rudder and a mainsheet... throw me on a board and make me balance at the same time? Forget it.

Playing drums...
I may be mediocre but I enjoy it almost as much as skiing... Playing gigs is exciting even to this day... Sense of anticipation on par with riding a challenging run... Pretty social too... Most people i play music with I also ride with...
