fringe sports/activities?

I suspect many unicyclists have other hobbies and interests that maybe out of the ‘norm.’
Let’s hear 'em!

I certainly do…and many people here know it already. my favorite hobby aside from unicycling is speedsolving Rubiks Cubes!! and I also used to do magic, a lot, but I kinda gave that up…
oh, I juggle too, but not very well.

Extras

Cello
Luthierie and Harpsichord construction
Dogs. I have 2!
Sea Kayaking both paddling and construction
I can juggle, but don’t do much any more.
I also do science. I study energy mass and fluxes in the soil.

Podzols are my FAVORITE type of soil!!

Probably my most extreme hobby apart from unicycling is Street Luge, thats pretty out of the ordinary.

Loose.

This thread has been done before:

and… HERE

I restore VW’s with my father, Dance 30+ hours a week for a professional Ballet company, love to Photoshop, play FPS’s and ALL video games. I’d probably be more slovenly without my uni.

rockets and wakeskating and magic

That’s great. It’s hard to make a living in the arts these days. My son (6 years-old) begged to take ballet after he saw the local dance troupe at a school assembly. He had a 1 week intro. He thinks he’ll want to take more classes down the road!
