Thread: Something NEW you would like to do/try on a WEEKLY basis?

Something you new.
Photography and cycling for me.

Fencing, gonna join the fencing club in college and see how that goes, same with Archery.
I joined the trampolining club, but quit after it became apparent I would probably kill myself.
Been meaning to start jogging too, but it's been raining here lots.

Trampolining. Never tried it. Are you saying it is not safe??

I imagine the bouncing on the trampoline is probably fine, but *the falling off is far less enjoyable.*

I would like to start using new, more creative curses in traffic. Recently found a good one in Urdu, but I'm open to more*suggestions.*

Perhaps this should be part of the Thrilling thread. How about combining cycling (motor-cycling) and photography? Those lunatics that send us live coverage of le Tour de France do it.

Haha..that was not excatly what I had in mind..but I see.
This kind of stuff is not photgraphy to me..more like an annoyance.
I can't imagine cyciling and having to stare at that..
Veru annoying indeed.

If I were you I just would not tell anyone.
Intellectual Property and all that.
If you can do something then try it. Nothing to lose.
It is the best way.

the trampolining club involved gymnastics as well, tumbles and twirls in the air, I do not have the greatest balance while I am on the ground, never mind when I'm 30 or so feet up in the air.
They'd bounce to get some height then do back flips/forward flips and whole body flips where they are not tumbling but upright (imagine a pencil, spinning through the air) then landing up right, without broken necks. As far as I know there were no injuries.

Regular trampolining is ok and fun. I was just nervous because of the giant flips and mid-air acrobatics. quite impressive looking though.

You should give it to me. That is a good idea and I know it wont fail

I drive a whole lot for work and I get quite irate with other drivers while I'm doing it, but I'm trying to find other, better ways to express my frustration with their inferior driving than the usual F-bombs and cusswords that everyone uses. I'm trying get out of the habit of swearing. So, if anyone else knows some creatively unusual insults that I can practice in the enclosed space behind the wheel, I'd like to hear them. Unless you were talking about following me in traffic...

I understand you.
I use to be like that until Istopped driving.
I never felt so much better.
