Hey Guys smile.gif

I managed to sprain my wrist at Karate last night, which as you all know, is not going to be beneficial to playing the guitar ! mad.gif

So, I wondered how many of you have hobbies, jobs or some other activity which sometimes puts you at risk of injury.. but you still do it because you either love it or you have to ? smile.gif

I enjoyed watching this. Very nice. And very cool.
This is more some kinda new art that has come up.

If you have a good flexible body and mind this show how a great 'machine' the human body is

lost of jumps over and roll over reminds me of my Ninjutsu training


Yes, it's quite a misunderstood art. You need good upper body strength with endurance legs. Leg's are also trained to be in sync and with precision jumping. You notice most people lead with one leg as they jump, we jump and plant with both while mantaining balance with the upper body, then normally relax rolling into the shoulder to take off the impact.

Good God biggrin.gif I love this stuff biggrin.gif are you good at it?? biggrin.gif


Nope, lol, when I was 13, attempted to flip off a friend's one story house roof onto a tramp. After the bounce off the tramp your spos to jump and roll onto the ground, however I misjumped and just went splat! I broke my tibus leg bone doing this stuff.

I still have a love for all extreme sports!

I had to read it a few times before I realised you didn't mean you tried to jump onto a homeless guy ! laugh.gif



Wow, these gun phots are such a massive culture shock to someone from the UK.. I've never even seen things like that in real life ! cool.gif If I ever come to visit any of you, I'll phone ahead just so you know it's me at the door and not a burglar ! tongue.gif

I got a HUGE giggle out of this post. smile.gif Having grown up in the states, in the South in particular, guns have always just sort of been around. Seems almost un-natural not to have at least one so you can go shooting with your buddies wink.gif Otherwise you have to rent one at the gun range and who wants to do that?

Todd, you need to start shooting that little target man in the top left corner, just to show everyone how bad ass you are tongue.gif
[attachment=23604:hobby.jpg]


Good call! That'll up the game a bit next time I'm at the range.

1.)Face Shots Only
2.)They only count if you hit the little man in the left corner.
3.)Loser buys every round fired.

P.S. Nice Pump 12! Are you shooting slugs or shot?
