I am a working man thus I spend a lot of my time being a gear in the machine. The good thing about that is I love my job. Put that aside and the true me loves riding, mountaineering, rock climbing, camping, kayaking, art, tattoos, music, reading, photography and walking my doggie. I love BMX street and park riding but now this is something of the past considering I'm going to be out for next 6-8 months nursing a nasty leg/ankle break (looks like I'll be kayaking a lot this summer). I also ride road, a fixxy to work and MTB as well. Some of the other activities that interest me are discovering new latent skills, science, history especially architecture (castles), the never ending quest for knowledge, and more that I cant think of right now.
I like to meet interesting people who share common interests such as climbing, riding, musicians, producers, dj's, pretty much people whole live life to the fullest but please keep in mind I am not here to build up the largest network of people I don’t know. For me this is not a popularity contest :)
