Ask HN: What is the newest hobby you have picked up?
I'm generally looking for new things to try and things to get into. I'm just curious what others do in their spare time.
- markovbling 13y agoskateboarding! I was raised by single parent mom so I just kept to myself and nerded out on my computer all day. Never really played sport and never actually hurt myself. Which sounds weird and sadistic but now at 24 I've gotten REALLY into skateboarding Started 6 months ago and it was a painful first couple of months but i barely ever fall anymore most importantly, i feel SO much more alert on a daily basis Like the frame rate on reality has been turned up Kinda have to be because if you're not fully present and aware when skateboarding, you'll probably bail and hurt yourself Plus it's just so much fun Chicks dig it too "It's never too late to have a happy childhood" ;) Some inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGiO2etwAYI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGiO2etwAYI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPuEU16P3zg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPuEU16P3zg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHrn3-Cb3iM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHrn3-Cb3iM have fun :)
