Guest Ghostrider Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 I've seen alot of posts out there of people discussing what to do in the off-season and I was curious...what is YOUR favorite thing to do in the off-season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knoch Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 i know he didn't ask this, but i'd like to know the reasons behind all of the off season activity, weather it be, "i'm only 12 so all i caan to is ride my bike around," or "i get to play soccer dad in the summer so my offseason is shot," or if there is some reason we should all be obsessed with what you do. whatever, i'm just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirror70 Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 I play on four wheels in the off-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northcoast Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 I wish I could've picked more than one answer. I love to surf and skate during the summer and snowboard as much as possible. Unfortunately having shoulder surgery pretty much cut everything out this summer...even work. Now I'm stuck at home except when I go to school...BORING. ________ UGGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 I skate pools and ramps when they can be found and street ride Yokohama and Tokyo on my 24" cruiser....I just put pegs on my cruiser so I now have something new to learn and play with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBQ Chef Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Motorcycling. Snowboarding is what i do in the off season:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin A. Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Can I just pick yes as an answer? I do all of those, plus I play paintball, drive, and hike/camp. Yeah, I keep busy. -Justin ________ Jeep Tornado Engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateW Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 A couple of new skateparks have sprung up in WA state lately, so I'm stoked all over again. Last week I helped a guy with some framing on a 6 foot high 24 foot wide mini ramp and we're hoping that'll be ready soon. Would be working on it tomorrow but the weather is lame. I'm building a 40"x9" deck as soon as the parts get here next week, it should be the summer version of my terrain-park-tailored alpine board. Can't wait to try it out. Not very related to board sports, but training parrots to 'get air' is almost as satisfying as getting air myself, and some friends and I just made the local news last weekend: http://www.king5.com/cgi-bin/bi/video/wmPlayer.pl?title=www.king5.com/ki_052604Abirdflyingshool.wmv I'm the long-haired guy pulling a parrot out of his hair near the beginning of the video.

Guest Frappe Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 I hunt for a job in the offseason ;) and appreciate the nice, snow-free roads. Now if only there were decent twisty ones in Massachusetts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jack1080 Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 I like to fill the kiddie pool with ice cubes and sit in it wearing my GS race suit. Makes me feel all tingly like that time I fell in the parking lot without pants on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patmoore Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Distance ridiing on a unicycle. This shot is of my 20 inch diameter wheel. I just bought another uni with a 28 inch wheel and my feet wouldn't reach the pedals. I cut the seat post length by 3 1/2 inches and it works fine once I'm up on it but it's a bear to freemount because of the tall seat. Anyhow, it moves along at a fast clip. Just gotta figure out where to mount the speedometer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdboytyler Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Surfing is my favorite activity. Snowboarding (at least during the winter) is a great alternative when the surf is not firing. Skateboarding is great cross-training for both surfing and snowboarding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateW Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Kevin, I've heard of them but haven't been out to see them. There's supposed to be a flock in south Seattle too, l forget the name of the park though. I'll keep you posted about that ramp. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
