I hear jumping out of planes can be quite fun...

I want to do this. Why i do not know as to be honest i am scared of heights.

Yes 6ft 5 and scared of heights.

Well i am not scared exactly, i have worked off ladders and scaffolding etc and crawled about on the odd roof but i don't like it.
Still i want to sling myself out of a plane and do some of that freefalling business. How many static jumps do you have to do before they let you do your own thing ?

Topic.
Build something.
Whether its an Uber system or kit car or RC car etc etc etc.
or start buying and selling that's a great hobby i have had all my life. Doesn't have to be cars it can be anything you are in to.

Learn to dance.
Pick up a new sport - sailing?
Magic tricks are a good one.

Surfing, depends where you live. Mountain biking.

Rock climbing was fun when i did it.

Mountain biking? Getting muddy has never been so much fun!

id advise buying some rubber ones to start. I bought wooden ones first and concussed myself several times.

Quoted for truth. Money or time...

tis true, either got money but no time, or time but no money

saying that, we wouldn't have it any other way would we

life without drag racing, I would actually shrivel up a in ball and die of boredom

I did... although I didnt break them on myself

I need to get some better ones though, just bought the cheapest I could find on the 'bay.

Badminton was fun until I sprained my ankle

Badminton is great

apart from when that happens of course

Ideally if you can find a local group that will be the best way, as you'll be more willing to go and feel a belonging. This is how myself and Laurio feel about the group we attend in Alnwick, Northumberland

Not sure where you live but there isn't many groups in Northumberland, that's the only way around where I live for quite a distance.

Good luck!

Ill vote for photography as well. Really rewarding as well when you improve.

Personally i shoot as well, that can be good fun, although not really a hobby as such.

Other than that, im kinda looking for one as well

Become a magician, learn sleight of hand. Always good for free drinks at the bar

Failing that, learn an instrument/language.

Get some skillz!
