Last month I decided that I would NOT pick up any more hobbies!
I tend to gravitate towards activities which require lots of money and my bank account is definitely running low.
But in true Allan nature, I started daydreaming in class. I was thinking ahead to summer, when i'm going to hike/scramble/climb as many mountains as possible. I love the challenge of going UP the mountain, but dread the walk down. My knees definitely take a beating for it and so I dreamed about para gliding.
I found a $99 dollar course at the U of C Outdoor Center. The course itself is taught by company based out of Cochrane. The plan is to take this Intro lesson the 3 days before my convocation :)
Paragliders cost about 5-6000 including the harness and all the other gear needed......I hope i don't get hooked by this sport as well.
BUT! If i combine paragliding with photography...I'd get some AWESOME photos!
A paraglider would be in line after:
1) Road bike for Triathlons - I'm thinking spcialized roubaix, or Trek Madone
2) Wet suit for Swim portion of Triathlons
3) FAT powder skis with AT bindings, compatible ski boots and skins

They will never end. You just have to pursue them all. You can start by not calling them hobbies, but passions. Then it doesn't sound as bad when you say you blew $5000.
Also, you can earn it back by selling your body. I'd like a piece.
