I like spreading the wealth. It feels good to acknowledge people who have worked their butts off to get promoted.
Some folks think it is beneath them or only look out for themselves and people they know but I don't look at it like that.
I check out the profile and if they fit the criteria I have in my mind I will vote to verify them. I wouldn't vote a fake belt up.
They would get weeded out pretty quick here. I look online(google), academy websites, insta and facebook. Feels good to spread some joy.

Nice. I've seen some flamenco guit-fiddlers before and they all shred. :)

My little guy plays like he has 10fingers on one hand Lol
Funny because he started playing on an electric guitar (Zeppelin and Skynard) he gradually moved on to this

I was big into motocross as a kid and still consider myself a Jeff Emig super-fan. My dad was against the idea so I didn’t get my first bike until I was 19. After moving to the city later in life riding became less convenient as life got more complicated, but I’ve been thinking a lot about getting back into it.

Father of 3, full time job often with weekend duty...so BJJ is my hobby to shake the stress off!
But in my teens I used to be a scooterist (Vespa) and 10 years ago I got back to it riding Vespa with a friend of my childhood.
So sometimes we go for a ride or drive to a „all-nighter“ with our Vespa scooters! I even have bjj globetrotter sticker on my Vespa!
Greetings from Germany,

You all have some really interesting hobbies! I will pipe up with something not mentioned, as yet.

I bake, have just got into sourdough, and I make a lot of my own clothes. I have been sewing for over 30 years, knitting for over 12 and also spin fibre into yarn, weave, crochet and can cross-stitch and darn.

I always said I'd have a much needed skill set if the Zombie Apocalypse ever came.....

In regards of footwear - I went into the barefoot / zero drop stuff and I don't see myself ever going back although traditional boots look so cool sometimes... 3 kids currently take most of my time. I like to read - psychology stuff or sci-fi mostly...

I cook. Really into making fermented food (pickles, sauerkraut, kimchi, sourdough bread, kvass, kefir).

I like minimalism. Barefoot running, minimal shoes, calisthenics, isometrics. I enjoy removing clutter from my life.

I like quality cinema & long form tv series. The Wire being probably my favorite of all time.

I was a really devoted meditator for years (zen buddhism), but fell of the horse. Getting back on it.

I like gardening and growing stuff.

Were you in the H8000 scene?
I was pretty deep in the straight edge abyss for long time.

Nope, im from south belgium in the french speaking part...but of course H8000 was one of our favorite spot. I was friend with mugshot guys from antwerpen. And i was true fan of congress.
I played in a band called 8-red but we where beer drinkers
