Live free. Run free. Parkour <3

We've got 3 dogs, so they take up a good majority of our free time. They're good company though. Other than that. I've always been into bicycles since I was a kid, but I'm currently on a down spell and am kinda tired of them at the moment.

Here's the 3, we've got a pit/plott hound, a black lab, and a pit/black lab, and they're currently hogging the couch as I type this...



This is the current bike, took me a while to track down one of these framesets....



I know this isn't really all that much different from a motorcycle, but this is one of my wife's main hobby. She brought this one home for me last summer in pretty rough shape so I spent last winter fixing it up. I only had it out for a couple rides before it stopped working, and I didn't put too much into fixing it considering her moped nights were the same as bike nights, but hopefully this winter I'll get it running well so I can get out with her more next year. It's a 1977 Tomos A3sp, bumped up to 70cc with a new carb, intake and exhaust and a completely rebuilt motor. Fun to ride when it's actually working.

current:



We also bought a house 3 years ago, so I spend some time working on that. My favorite part of it is fixing up the old city dungeon of a basement and trying to make it look pretty decent. I put up the walls and pegboard, next is a real floor and then some nice work benches. I know it's a huge mess in the picture.

I'm a gamer. Luv my PS3 I used to cycle as well but my heart just doesn't like it that much anymore. I'm also going back to school so time is cut down. I also volunteer at my church. It's a good feeling helping others in need.

God I would love to take up parkour, that would definitely get me in shape, but I don't know where to start.

But as for a contribution to this thread: in my spare time I fly planes

Ahhh, I actually just sold my ps3, wasn't getting enough use out of it.
Ill probably get another one when they get some good games for the motion sensor stuff.

And man, parkour is the perfect sport. Its easy to start out, and its almost like jogging when you get the flow of it, everything just comes together. Its more a mind game than a physical one.  ;)

I just need to find more of an industrial type place because around where I live there are only houses. Maybe I could get away with running on people's houses closer to Christmas though...

Being doubled over in pain looks like for this year.
I also like listening to some cool audio crap while screaming in pain.
I'd rate being unemployed also right up there.
Cool.

Bicycling! I love riding and also am a huge fan of the European Pro scene. When I can make it happen, I also love snow skiing.

Sorry bro, but that was completely irrelevant and pointless, there ain't no traceurs who aren't tough and willing to get hurt for it.

I didn't understand any of that.

It's all French to me (literally - i googled it).

But tt_four: that Tomos is sweet. A friend of mine has a thing for small bikes which is funny since he's 6'4". He has a Puch Magnum with a Honda racing tank and clip ons as well.

My stupid Land Rover takes up a ton of time.  Nothing's ever complicated, but damn if the Brits can't make plastic rust too!!

I don't shoot competitively, just like I refuse to test for belts in Krav.  That's not why I'm there.  That said, I can 1.5" group my EDC at 7yds and a buddy of mine that's a 3rd degree Tai Kwan Do black belt refuses to spar with me.
