Favorite Outdoor Activities (Besides Coaster Riding)

I like playing Football and Soccer. I also like hiking.

It's been a while since I've posted in this thread and things have changed, somewhat. While I can technically still do this indoors, just harder to pull off some moves, I like to do yo-yo outdoors. Not only do I not have to worry about having my string accidentally snap and send a 70-gram chunk of aluminum into my TV, neither do I have to worry about the die on the opposite end of the string smacking into anything other than myself (which it hurts....a lot! Look up 5A yoyoing/Counter Weight yoyoing if you're curious). Plus, it's nice to bring a smile to someone's face that happens to be walking by.

Being as yoyoing is so 'uncommon' people are amazed at stuff like 'walk the dog' and some of the real basic stuff. When I do something more 'advanced' they look at you like you just did the impossible. With this said, every year, a local contest is held at a park in San Francisco that I just started checking out (as a spectator)...makes a nice relaxing day away from the computer and games meeting other people and reliving childhood memories I also like to take the diabolo/chinese yoyo outdoors because then I can launch it 30+ feet up and attempt to catch it.

Also, now having a cheap mountain bike, I like to just ride around town, need to head back up to the lake (reservoir) and ride the trails...so relaxing. I also have a pair of roller blades I should consider using again, I used to skate around all the time. No tricks, just going for a ride, was able to maneuver quite well. Honestly though, I forgot the last time I've even seen anyone roller blade/roller skate...a bit sad if you ask me. Unfortunately, time is a bit limited as much as I need to just tell myself to make the time to just go for a ride as it would be better for me than sitting down drinking soda(s) behind the PS3 controller playing MW3 or Killzone. Pretty much anything on wheels, I like to do.

I go camping a lot, so I like to hike and bike. Also I love outdoor hot tubs in the winter.

Personally I love to run, and I really love to run in the rain. Not like a heavy rain, or a storm, but during a nice light rain. I find it to be very relaxing and soothing. Not to mention it makes me feel good to be out doing something other than working!!

I like hiking and shooting. I don't hunt though, just target shooting.

I also have a pair of roller blades I should consider using again, I used to skate around all the time. No tricks, just going for a ride, was able to maneuver quite well. Honestly though, I forgot the last time I've even seen anyone roller blade/roller skate...a bit sad if you ask me.

ROLLER DERBY ROCKS!!!

I've recently discovered this sport, and I love it. I always liked to go roller blading and it wasn't a far stretch to learn the skates. It's a great way to exercise + get out some pent up aggression. It's more of an indoor sport, but we've held practices out at some outdoor basketball courts before, and I've gone out a few other times elsewhere, but it ruins our gear a lot faster. I really need new knee pads.

Seeing that I live up in the mountains, I love doing all sorts of outdoor activities up here if I have people to do them with. Once it starts snowing more, we have a good sled hill right behind our house. In the summer I love swimming in the rivers and know some great places with jump rocks and rope swings! I don't camp or fish as much as most people up here, but I still like them. I also love exploring in the forest and I've really wanted to go ghost town hunting for old mines and towns but didn't get around to it this summer.

Roller Blading. I love roller blading.

I aldo love BBQ's and pool parties.

There are many outdoor activities that I enjoy. I'm a big fan of cliff jumping. I also enjoy water skiing, running, and hiking as well.

My favorite outdoor activity (other than coaster riding) is bike riding, nothing better than being in the outdoors.

At the start of this year, my new favorite outdoor activity/sport consists of unicycling. Knowing nothing about riding the uni when I first purchased on New Years Day (I bought one for $28, may seem like an impulse buy at first) and today, a couple months later I can finally ride and do this:

This is one of the things I will most likely take with me if I happen to go to a park. Very nice and portable, and fun to ride. Eventually I want to get into freestyle/flatland riding with a little bit of 'trials' which involves hopping onto obstacles and small gaps. Until then, I'm just working on improving my form and is an excellent workout.

Not really an activity, but my favorite thing to do outside is go to a classic car show. I also love cook-outs.

motocross and camping, go out for the weekend and take the bike and find a nice spot to camp.

Shooting, Hunting, Fishing. All of that good stuff. I also play a bit if baseball.

I love to go to the beach and really love sailing. I'm lucky enough that my parents own a boat and are always looking for "crew."

I like the beach and hiking most.

I will have to say camping. Camping is so much fun, you get to spend time with your family and friends, you get to cook food outside, sleep outside, and do so many wonderful things with nature. Hiking, swimming, rafting, you name it.

Golf and paintball. Polar opposites, but both so much fun for their own reasons.

I play a lot of golf, or try to play a lot of golf. Not a big hunter/ fisherman but an occasional in-shore fishing trip can be a lot of fun.

^So you're like me, you like walking after and searching for a small white dimpled ball.

^As long as there is beer involved to make the experience more enjoyable.

Or you could just play the course with the lowest slope rating to make yourself feel better!

I do lots of running. I really enjoy it, but most importantly I've gone from this

(I'm in the white August Burns red shirt) To this

Flat ride riding!

I have recently bought a road bike and have been riding a lot. Getting out on the weekends and dong 25 to 30 mile rides each day. Training to do a century ride in June. 100 miles around lake Tahoe.

Once the weather warms up I'll be running a lot. Running is great; when I'm stressed it makes me forget all about it, calms me down, and after a good run through my neighborhood I'm always happy. Plus when I did it 3 times a week last year I lost somewhere between 5 and 10 pounds in about a month and a half.

I play basketball, soccer, and lacrosse for club teams.
