i’m into mountain biking, although not getting out on it as much as i used to, this last year just tended to go out on the trips away. where do you ride?rc heli’s, i’ve got a raptor 30 in the garage that hasn’t left the ground in a while and i was only a beginner with it anyway, but i’ve just bought a 4 channel indoor chinook
quite fancy a go with planes though. any pics or vids of ya plane?
gsxr 750 road bike, i did a track day at cadwell last year and was aiming at doing some more this year, but never got round to it, next year! used to ride quads, crossers and pit bikes
weights, running and that’s about the lot!
I have a raptor 30 as well that hasnt seen the air in at least 18 months!
I tend to ride around the Stockport area, mate of mine lives that way and knows some great trails (uphill and downhill!), but also try and get into the peaks as often as possible as well.
Ill try and get a couple of shots of my aircraft up tonight at somepoint (images are on my portable HD)
The aircraft are a lot of fun! Iv been flying on and off for around 14 years now and for the aircraft are the most fun! Especially the big petrol aircraft!
Id really like to give motorbikes a go, but would prefer a crosser to a road bike, i think id be much more likely to die on a road bike! LOL

Playing FIFA, playing football, socialising with mates, I also play the drums but self taught and not in a band, into my jet skis as well and will buy a Kawasaki ultra 300x or seadoo rxp when I go to Australia next year.
I’m into my old school fords owning numerous RS marques over the years.
I like to travel and learn about new cultures and languages.I started with a Seadoo XP (800CC) and it was the most unreliable ski i ever owned! bought a yamaha FX140 after that and it was a great ski but i got a little bored of it, so settled on a 2004 seadoo RXP loved it to bits, had a couple of the riva upgrades on there too, went like [zb] of a shovel! I sold the RXP which i deeply regret now and then a few months later really missed the sport and bought my self a kawasaki 750 SX (stand up) and that was good fun too… out of all the sports i have done jet ski’ing is by far the best and the one i miss the most, think i will get my self another RXP in a couple of years when finances permit!
I just love it, I want to get the intake grate upgraded etc like you had. I dont know what it is but it’s like your free when you got all that ocean and hot sun on your back.
I had a jet rib over here but so cold and can’t enjoy it as much. For me I’m very much a flip flop, Bermuda short wearing beech dude.
How was the stand up ski? Much more manoeuvrability and stunt fun? Never really really liked them to be honest.
Hmm…I make cakes…Birthday cakes, Anniversary and wedding cakes…novelty cakes like a helicopter which we auctioned off at the Telford Truckers Club annual fundraiser for the Midlands Air Ambulance…stuff like that…
I also like classic commercial shows, next year I will be taking a truck or two belonging to my boss to a show or 3 
…and I like walking on the Shropshire hills.
Green laning and off road driving!!
Used to go out on the lash, and have a bit of a life but i seem to spend a lot of time on this interweb . . sad or what?

Mountain Biking, Photography, adventure events like Tough Guy, Toughmudder etc. lightweight camping and hill walking. I will try anything.me and a mate are fancying the tough mudder next year,
Iam on North West Tough Mudder in November at Cholmodley in Cheshire 19th Nov, then a Tough Guy in Stafford in February. Its all about Mental attitude and having fun you dont have to be a fitness freak, if you can run about 5ish miles in around an hourish then you will be fine.

Yeah I loved it to bits! That obsessed by the sea and water my daughters middle name is Ocean (yes very hippy i know!)
The freedom is immense. I used to launch the ski into the water after a really stressful week with a can of budweiser and a packet of ■■■■ in the storage comparment (■■■■ and lighter in a dry pack) and head out about a mile, cut the engine crack the can light a cig and breath a big sigh of relief it was weekend, then head for the waves once done!
The stand up ski was a lot of fun when you got the hang of it but wasnt for me …there also a LOT cheaper to run… I sold it with the intention of buying another sofa (sit down ski) but then got into a bit of a financial mess… FUN TIMES! 
The only downside to them is the running costs of them, there very expensive… average day out cost me over £100 if not a litte more depending on where i was launching. They guzzle fuel like its going out of fashion!
My RXP had an R and D intake grate, Solas impellor, Riva intake kit, UMI bars, Riva upgraded supercharger standard the ski was 215BHP standard with the bits I had on it was ‘meant’ to be running close to 250 bhp. It would try and pull your shoulders out of there sockets thats for sure, max speed i hit on it (on GPS unit) was 81mph which for a ski is pretty decent!
