How did I forget!
Oh and deleting/banning spammers!
I do road bicycle racing, mountain biking and I am an audio visual technician by trade and that takes a lot of my time up . . .
^ You’re a roadie - nice! I used to be into road bikes, but once I switched to riding, then racing MTB, I don’t even enjoy riding road bikes anymore. However I still enjoy watching road racing, and I worked for RIDE Cycling Review magazine for a while (those guys REALLY know their stuff!!!).
I manage a local Gridiron team as well as doing their photography. I also do some websites on the side for Gridiron, right up to the national level
Work stupid hours being on call. Like this weekend which means I can’t be up all the hill enjoying all of this pow pow.
:(

Yeah I am a Cgrade racer. yeah I read ride cycling review, its awesome
I picked up a snowboarder hitching back to Queenstown from The Remarkables a few years ago. He mentioned he was a keen roadie, and I told him I’d recently been getting a crapload of emails from the editor/owner of RIDE Cycling Review magazine asking me to come and work with him - and he was like “You gotta do it!”. It wasn’t you, was it?
I ride a motorbike everywhere, play paintball, Xbox, and like Chucky think about Snowboarding
There’s life outside snowboarding???

Nah it wasnt me mate
There you go then mate, there’s at least one more roadie snowboarder out there.
^ Actually (and obviously), more than one. Toby from RIDE Cycling Review magazine’s a boarder too.
I whack a keyboard randomly and shuffle my mouse and trackpad around hoping to produce video edits.
I also own a monkey that I get to point my camera at random things and push the button on top - occasionally getting a photo I can claim as a good shot.
The monkey keeps my hard-drive full of video footage waiting for editing.
In summer I work on getting melanoma, watch grass grow (then cut it).
I’m a dad to an awesome 9yo girl - so that takes up 35% of my life and 95% of my finances - totally worth it!
Remote Control (monster trucks & helicopters) are about the only hobby I haven’t properly tied into my professional life. For a month or two a year I tinker with them.
I teach drama and used to have a career as an actor (when I was young and beautiful).
My car.
Is second to my daughter as my greatest passion away from B’sports.
1968, VW, Type3 Squareback that I did a 9month rebuild, dumped $15k on the engine and handling but hasn’t been driven for 12months. Poor thing is gathering rust in a caryard waiting for it’s superbox to be installed.
