Anybody know of any sports/hobby websites with stuff similar to footbag, juggling, penspinning, yo yo's, etc. etc. ? I want to learn some new type of skill.

Not really looking at getting into juggling, too hard for me. I've tried and tried and tried but can't do it. Just using juggling as an example.

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look at the site.

you could maybe try to find some breakdancing stuff... or maybe DDR or something... sorry I don't have any info on either of them though. Rockclimbing's good too if you have a spot near you to go.

I'm into dance, but not breakdancing. Rockclimbing is a lot of fun, we have a few indoor places around here. Don't know of any good outdoor spots.

I like racquet ball alot. Its really fast and very arobic. Works on you hand eye coodination alot.
Its difficult at first but when you learn the room (like how hard you have to hit the ball to get it to the wall) its alot of fun.

This looks awesome. I'm talking to a guy that lives in my area and we're going to hook up on a weekend once my knee is better (which I'm starting to think will be never, I can't even toe set straight

). Should be fun

So do I Ashley!! I love ping pong! I recently learned how to control my spins better so I can hit harder shots and it's soo cool! Also, I do gymnastics and play soccer (for the school team).

I LOVE PING PONG! My father bought me a ping pong table like 5 years ago. I try to play whenever I can, usually with my cousin.

A hobby of mine is R/C cars. I have 2 R/C cars. They are both from HPI. I have a Nitro rs4 and a Micro rs4. The Nitro R/C car is 1/10th scale and all stock. The Micro is 1/18th scale and it is electric.

oh man, Le Parkour is the greatest thing ever. Better than footbag?

I was doing parkour/urban freeflow all summer and it was the best summer of my life.

Also, lighting things on fire is cool. and computer games.

Aw dude! I was into R/C for sooo many years!!

I still have a few cars laying around. I have an old Traxxas Stampede, a Team Losi XXCR and an OFNA Worlds something or other, it's a 1/8th gas buggy and it's bad ass.

Zach, I used to soap shoe too! I have a video of me hitting some huge crazy rails, I will post that when I get back to kingston!

I just took up 3-ball juggling, this shit is hard so far.

Hey chris, I posted about this in my blog but you may like Urban Exploration. Check out http://www.actionsquad.org and http://www.infiltration.org if you want to see some wicked shit.

Also there is freestyle frisbee (just like shred basically) and dog breeding. There are so many dumb things to fall in love with, have fun!

For all those calling it ping pong.

That's definitely a name brand, and not that I know for sure, but I bet table tennis players are bothered by it being called ping pong just as much as we are bothered by people calling it "hacky sack".

Help smash name brands - get things called what they are! Table Tennis!

But more importantly ...

FOOTBAG!

haha, my grandpa always calls it "ke-nip, ke-nop" i bet table tennis players would absolutly hate for it to be called that!!!!
