As the title really, just looking for new ideas.
BB
I enjoy a bit of photography on and off the bike, although I'm not great at it. I think a lot of other stw users do too. Can give you something to do in any weather and it is satisfying when you get a shot you are proud of.
Stalking.
Dogging
surfing
kiting
floorball (indoor non ice - ice hockey, fast furious, check out tinternet - a lot of unis have clubs))
I'm partial to a hand shandy
surfing,
kayaking,
climbing,
running (not entirely sure this counts as enjoyable)
Windsurfing, kitesurfing and fettling with the new boat ๐
Played floorball in Finland, fantastic game ๐
play loads of badminton, surf when i can but stuck in Oxfordshire, motorbike trials but just retired again.
I cant believe noone has said...STWing.
Hey windydave, they're my fave things too! Will you be my friend? Where do you live? What boat you got? Will you be my friend?
Hockey ( the girly one)
Brazilian jui-jitsu,gym,walking the dog.Used to play cricket but this will be my second season retierd,my body couldn't take it anymore ๐
Photography
Swimming
Reading
And I do enjoy a good session on the xbox when I get time.
Wakeboarding and fixing my boat used for wakeboarding
grum, did your band have to remove asbestos from the dressing room before you went on ?
Hashing "a drinking club with a running problem". Runs all over the world.

i enjoy a bit of shooting. rc cars. drinking and tinkering and fixing things. but Rc cars at the moment.
Play a bit of football, a spot of sparring/ bag work and I'm a huge fan of porn.
Recently, I have been doing more fell running than cycling-I find its less hassle when the ground is really muddy and it takes much less time to knacker yourself running than MTBing! I'm not convinced its as much fun as mountain biking though!
Board games.
Wakeboard, kites, hunting, shooting, fishing, sailing, beer and blondes.
I get bored easily so I've a number of things to keep me occupied.
I like military aviation and that ties in nicely with my volunteering as an adult instructor for the Air Training Corps, so I've got all the activities that they're able to do to keep me occupied as well.
Outside of that, there's my 2 year old son to keep me busy ๐
Painting. climbing. reading. boozing.
My main hobby these days seems to be procrastinating, and in all modesty, I'm probably the worlds top expert on it now.
In fact t.... ...Ah ****, I'll finish this post later...
swimming, running, hiking, music, reading, eating, drinking.
Sex. Mainly with myself 8)
music: www.myspace.com/wickeffect
r/c helicopters
Leeds United FC. Wheels have fallen off that one though ๐
used to play a bit of footie but I was never that good
****ing
not walking...
+1 for ****ing ๐
Running
Swimming
All grain brewing (homebrew)
Wine making
Sunday league football - i'm not very good
Cricket - i'm also not very good
Skiing - see above
Reading, drawing, walking the pooches, we do a bit of caring for wildlife too although this year is a quiet one because we've only had a couple of orphan hedgehogs - it's not really a hobby but it does take up a lot of our time.
when not riding terribly I usually enjoy failing at:
photography
surfing/bodyboarding
kiting
defo ****ing.
Probably get banned again for that ๐
Gym
Running
Mountaineering
Road biking
Reading
Play guitar (for my own pleasure, rarely anyone else's!)
I find the gym and road biking hugely complement the mountain biking - fitter, better core and upper body strength
Climbing
Kayaking
Skiing / Ski Touring
Mountineering
Surfing
Anything outdoorsy...
Fishing
kayaking
watching football
drinking wine
used to do loads of carp fishing but mountain biking took over. With fishing you can spend entrie weekends and get no fish, with mountain biking the downhills are always there after you've cycled up.
Really fancy giving climbing a go as well
Some walking, snow boarding/skiing (but havent been this year), basketball (even tho I have trouble with my knees) road biking but I really do like to be out on the mountain bike, also always have a week or two with the d/h bike in the Alpes.
I've been playing guitar for around 10 years and it's definitely my main hobby. Linked with that are writing and recording my music. Just typical rock riffs really, have it all up here if anyone's interested - www.soundclick.com/deepwaterblackout
I'm also heavily into photography, video production and 3D modelling/animation.
Music (listening to other peoples, I have no talent myself)
Walking the poochie
Taking piccies
Lifting weights n a wee bit of running
If I had more time I'd take up Muay Thai again, but can't commit enough to the training
Shooting.
Hunter field target with air rifle and hunting with FAC air rifle. Mainly magpies, grey squirrels and woodpigeon.
Photography - everybody's a photographer since the sawn of DSLRs aren't they?

Watching Rugby - never was any good at playing but I do enjoy watching the welsh regions and Welsh team even when they're bad.

Geeking - either software projects or building pet projects usually involves researching and maybe buying parts for little projects then moving onto another project before finishing the first. Currently thinking about sending up a weather balloon into near space with a digital camera on board (like many others have done before), previously DIY LED lights etc.

Cooking - seems to have grown on me in recent years. Enjoy cookery TV programs too.
Veg growing - bit late getting anything in the ground this year though

Sitting in the hills waiting to get buzzed - not been in a couple of years now but will probably go again soon

Golf - pretty much given up now due to being uttlerly shite and needing to play every day to improve even slightly.

Snowboarding
used to do loads of hiking done half the munros mostly in winter months not bad for a Somerset bloke miss it.
Waste too much time on this forum for sure
cycling
Skiing / help maintain ski club site, photography, running, walking/(climbing)
Snowboarding
Fettling
Considering getting a retro pickup for bike duties and giving it some sensitive styling.
This year's ultimate geek project is ghetto 3D Helmetcam
Scuba Diving - just awesome
Yoga - very relaxing
Hill Walking - nice to get out and have a walk somewhere really inspiring.
Reading - always a good book on the boil.
Cooking - massive fan of Escoffier so getting fatter . . . .
Wine - a real world of pleasure in a bottle. Which is worrying . . . . .
And on the adverse side of things - lots of time on this forum ๐
Enjoy!
I more or less live and breath biking. I also sleep and work.
Played floorball in Finland
Me too, at a leisure centre in Espoo.
The sport formerly known as Fox Hunting
I just love being outdoors; the only outdoor pursuit I haven't tried is dogging!
Scottish hillwalking and mountaineering (retired from climbing as yet another inept wannabee), bothies including being MO for a nice one, wildlife watching, cycle touring, glen tramping; generally avoiding crowds is my thing. That last thing is just one of the reasons why I dislike trail centres........
I surf a lot more than MTBing. Road riding too.
Other stuff includes snorkelling, yoga, walking the dog and bodyboarding (very rarely nowadays). I'd really like to get into windsurfing but it's just far too expensive
fishing, just caught some nice trout and so did my 10 year old son, tomorrows tea they will be, model railways, building and flying rubber powered planes, road biking and getting lost in heavily wooded trails as happened yesterday, my 8 mile route became 18 and i ran out of water in 85f,
Over the last (20, eek!) years, kayaking filled most of my spare time. Both white-water:
and sea-kayaking:

More recently, moving to a new part of the world has meant I'm now doing more biking than boating, but it also allows for some new winter hobbies. Still learning to snowboard though:

Road biking
Gym and swimming
Volunteering - am a trustee of a charity and also do some voluntary training for the Princes Trust
Walking when I have time
