I need a bad ass hobby.

[MorphingDragon]

Parkour. If you live long enough to get good then it looks awesome.

Sorry to break it to you, but that's not parkour. Parkour was invented by the French military as a way to navigate random terrain efficiently. It's got fuck all to do with pointless flips for no apparent reason.

However impressive the feats these people do, its always dragged down by their pointless flips and twirls.

Screw Parkour.

Free Running is for real men.

Homemade ballistics and explosives. I'm currently working on an electromagnetic accelerator cannon hooked up to a car battery. Shit will be so cash.

 

[Wuggy]

Well one that I've had as a hobby in the past and is great fun is medieval sword fighting. Yeah, you heard me, and it's just as awesome as it sounds.

 

[wastedyouth89]

Have you ever considered professional trolling? That's always a tough one.

 

[Wolf-AUS]

All these people have stupid ideas, save for jousting which is a bit impractical together into.

I suggest whitewater kayaking. Rafting is good too, but requires a team. Look around for a whiewater stadium which might be a bit hard to find, but there should be some around somewhere, learn the basics and most importantly how to roll back up, once you can roll, you can try anything. Before you know it you'll be surfing and cartwheeling with the best.

Ice hockey is also acceptable.

Jesus, dude. He said a hobby. The latter is an organized sport, and the former only isn't because you don't generally kayak against other people.

Hahaha, incredibly fair. I misread the title, I want to blame it on something, but I've got no excuse. If all I do in my spare time is work on my kayaking gear or kayak is that considered a hobby?

 

[mysecondlife]

I always wanted to shoot guns at the range.

Visiting grievous harm on animals is badass!

For instance, you could take up

Tiger Taming
Bear Beheading
Bull Bashing
Lion Lacerating
Shark Shooting
Snake Snaring
Hippo Hurting
Eagle Eating
Wallaby Whalloping
Kangaroo Kicking
Dingo Dick-Punching
Kitten Kicking
Rabbit Rassling
Shrimp Strangling
Plankton Pulverizing
Snail Snatching
Sloth Slashing
Sheep Shredding
Wombat Whipping
Pony Punching

thinking up bunch of alliteration seems pretty bad ass as well.

the most useful kind of bad ass hoby that you can do in class is plan and prepare for the zombie apocolypse this incluses and is not limited to planning escape routes learning effective travel methods such as parkour or possibly becoming a helicopter pilot and also includs the aquisition of weapons and learning how to use them effectively who doesnt want to be a bad ass with a katana

 

[The Geek Lord]

Use only your bare hands to tell me what a bear tastes like. You can cook it though.

... What? You can totally do that in class. Just waltz in to class with a bear and fight it to the death in the middle of a lecture. The teacher will also be a badass if he manages to completely ignore you and proceed with the lecture.

 

[Bob_Dobb]

Punching a wall with your bare fists if you want to feel bad ass!

And er.. paperecraft [sub]if... that's alright with you[/sub]

[The Code]

building guns from scratch, martial arts, parkour, freerunning, and speaking another language. I'm currently learning Japanese and I'm trying to get into parkour and freerunning. Not only would any of the above be generally impressive, but it would also better you as an individual.

[LazyAza]

Strap raw meat to your crotch, run out in the wilderness and locate a family of grizzly bears.

I didn't think any further beyond that, but it sure would be an entertaining way to spend ones time!

 

[onewheeled]

Learn to use a diabolo. It's really not that difficult to get the hang of, and you can pick up some pretty badass tricks with a bit of practice. And maybe someday, you can do this:


Or, you know, learn to play slap bass. That's badass, too.

 

[Deadlock Radium]

Learn to play Soilwork and Killswitch Engage on the guitar. I guarantee that you'll feel awesome.

 

[Omnicide]

Gentlemen, I present the Balisong.

 

[similar.squirrel]

In class? All I can think of is origami, but that's not especially badass. Unless you're folding bears and such.

 

[tseroff]

I suggest capoeira. Also, cooking.

 

[Tyrant T100]

Shooting however this might be illegal if you're under 18 or where you live, target shooting doesn't have to be done with guns however, it can just as easily be done with slingshots, bows, crossbows and bb/air rifles.

 

[SquirePB]

I would suggest playing paintball. Whether it's doing milsim stuff or playing in speedball tournaments it's a sick hobby. But it's pretty expensive to start up and is expensive to keep training.

Maybe try a martial art dude. I've been doing various forms for almost 13 years now and it's pretty bad ass. Few things are more bad ass than a small guy making a big rugby forward ***** out after he tries to start something.

Or try cooking. It's an amazing skill to have that you'll use everyday and you can impress people with it all the time. We have a communal kitchen in the halls I live in at uni and I regularly have girls comment on our great my meals look/smell.

 

[the Dept of Science]

Obviously Swing dance...



Also, if you are doing it to attract girls, I'll say from experience I've met more girls through dancing than anything else.

Start crafting your own melee weapons. Make katanas and sell them for high prices.

Beware, though. Crafting good katanas is an art, not handy-man work.
