insanely fun:

This exactly. I've seen those flyboarding videos on FB before and it's definitely at the top of my bucket list now. Thing is, it's relatively new right now, so I'm sure they'll make some advancements in their gear. I don't know much about it; I wonder if the better the jet-ski you have, then the better the propulsion/lift/speed you get? Maybe they come out with some type of turbo kits for jet-skis that allow for longer/thinner/lighter hoses that connect back to the jet-ski. Also, I'm sure they will come out with lighter hoses. Hoses that have special shaped inside walls to create more power. What about special neoprene suits with wings kinda like those flying suits? Would help in air, and underwater, it seems. Maybe not lol. Basically, I'd just really like to see this take off and get a lot cooler than what it already is. And it's already pretty awesome looking.

Ha! I have no clue if it would help at all, but I think it's a cool idea.

Can I have my fly board suit with a shark like dorsal fin?

I snowboard in the winter.
Orienteer/adventure race in the other seasons (which is my reason to mountain bike).

I used to rockclimb indoors a lot but stopped between tearing my labrum and moved to NYC (Jersey City) where there's no great options nearby to head to on weekdays (also they're f'ing expensive up here). NYC Metro area also hurts me for my mtbing takes a while to get to nearby trails and I don't have my friends to ride with anymore.

Flyboarding looks awesome.
I want to get into speed-flying, i tell everyone that's how I plan to die. ( )

Was an avid fan of hiking and camping but haven't done it in about 3 years now.  The reason was I moved to another city and wasn't able to find folks with the same interest, plus an elbow injury sideline me for close to a year.  Aside from these outdoor activities, I watch movies, lots and lots of movies.

I have a movie hobby as well, I've dabbled in creating my own dedicated home theater.  Nothing really fancy, 100" screen, 1080P projector, 5.1 surround sound.  The coolest part is the HTPC, having 150 movies on demand is very convenient, when we just want to get away from the summer heat, we crank the A/C and put on a movie.

If I'm not out biking I'm probably out doing something else outside. One of my other hobbies/passions/money vortexes is rock climbing. Theres really nothing else like being hundreds of feet off the ground hanging on to tiny pieces of rock! Other than that I do a fair bit of backpacking, backcountry fly fishing and skiing!

That's right... I know that feeling when you just couldn't control your pee from coming out.   ;D
