I'm Interested - a Bit of a Survey...

Sano Ouch...

Ah, I remember - you work for that West London Distributor, non?

yeah we do other shit to make up for it though,
Im just embarrassed some times, used to work for nitro/allian/technine/nikita/capita back home
so i guess i'm paying for my sins now haha

I've done all of them on occasion but mostly just A&E.

a - nope
b - nope
c - yep
d - yep, mountainous ones
e - a bit. Punk-lite I guess. Have recently digitized some of my vinyl & been re-listening to SLF - Nobody's Heros & The Damned Black Album. Makes the commute fly by!

Scrapper [quote]RPM [quote]dogsballs dabbled with a, b , e
definitely c
:)

f: dwarf throwing ;)

f: school champion at dwarf throwing, I was.
Gutted they phased it out, I could have represented Great Britain.[/quote]

In NZ we had a nice game of 3 bin bowling which consisted of 3 bins in a triangle and throwing someone into them, same game?[/quote]

no, this was actual dwarf throwing.

like on TV.

a. skate- never stuck with it long enough. love it though- it is sooo hard to do well imo.
b. BMX- currently only a 24-inch wheeled federal but yes.
c. snowboard- "snowboarders are utter cocks" with credit cards.
d. ride bikes- MTBs since forever, and now fixed wheel for the city.
e. like punk rock music? yup, spesh the likes of fugazi. also bang into reggae. and kraftwerk.

a. skate yeah... but not any more

d. yup
e. yup.
f. Surf.

all of the above except for bmx, does first wave ska count for energetic music though?

yes

all but b

a. skate - yep
b. BMX - nope
c. snowboard - i ski, tried both cant beat skiing for me, just preference ( but not in 80's shell suit >.< )
d. ride bikes anyway - yep
e. like punk rock music? EDITED: to read 'like music that with energy and makes you think/feel' - indeed

simple

a
b
d

thing is,

skating, bmxing, bikes, dwarf throwing and punk can be enjoyed by everyone (apart from maybe the dwarves) mostly.

snowboarding is pretty elitist, for those with a large disposable income..

even going to milton keynes indoor slope and hiring the gear would be quite pricey every weekend.

middle class, gays on trays.

that always winds up my snowboarding mates (all of whom work in the design/media industry)

i think it really depends on where you grow up... with me having mtns 30-50 mins out my back door and knowing how to get cheep lift passes made me able to do it

yes, I was thinking purely from a London perspective.

LONDON FIXED GEAR

LONDON
LONDON
LONDON

when do you get here?

the ho tells me if i can come around wednessday

RPM

middle class, gays on trays.

hehe!
so does mrsmith snowboard?!

rpm., you can snowboard pretty easily/cheaply if you do seasons, as in you work as a lift atendant or in a hotel/chalet for 4 months and get to ski every other day as well as getting paid, a liftpass and ski hire for free.

That's the thing, snowboarding never used to be expensive (grumble, grumble)...

hire an apartment, fill it with your mates, get 'creative' with buying lift tickets and you can do it for bugger all.

And joel's right - work your way and anyone can do it. It's when you go on a week's holiday that it gets expensive. And where's the fun in just buying something? It's when you earn it that it is the most fun.

Point taken though, RPM.

a. no
b. no
c. no
d. no
e. er, no to punk...

am i the first to have a straight none of the above?! well i do love polyrythms and tinitis inducing music (and music makes me think), but never got into punk.

so you didn't:

d.ride bikes anyway?

not for about 7 years before getting a road bike and making it into a single-speed, nope :) Does learning to ride a bike count for d?

actually no wait, brain not thinking. obviously i rode bikes before joining the forum, but isn;t d a bit of a no brainer in that case? I joined the forum about 2 months after getting my single-speed.

I didn't make the questions.

but yes, I doubt many people wouldn't be d.
