What are your hobbies outside of MxSim???
Hey guys,
Hope everyone is doing really good! Wanted to create this topic out of curiosity and interest. I know there are a good bit of people on this forum that do some really cool stuff in life aside from playing mx sim! I wanted to know a little more about what all y'all do! This could be real life mx racing, car racing (robert196 ) or any other stuff you might find that's cool!
I'll start it off..
I posted a while back (at like the end of 2019) a youtube video of me playing guitar. Currently now, I am a professional musician and I've started my own band!
Here are a couple youtube videos of us recently as well as some ways to connect with me! If y'all live anywhere around the Atlanta area, feel free to reach out and I'll let you know about upcoming gigs!

I fingerboard (tech decks for those who don’t know) and just started to maintenance work on the side for friends/family.
Re: What are your hobbies outside of MxSim???
Not much anymore really. Video games in general, even if I'm not playing much anymore. Tech in general too. Seems that I'm mostly working these days or watching series.

Haha that’s crazy, I’ve been doing it since 2003 but got into the professional scene/stuff around 2007ish, gave it up around 2010 and got rid of all my OG setups besides one and all of my ramps which I regret heavily, but I’ve been buying tech deck stuff like crazy since my son is into it, I got him his own wooden deck and he loves it!

Instagram seems to be where the fb community is at now, awesome to hear about your son.

The finger boarding stuff is pretty interesting. Had some tech deck stuff as a kid but I was trash.
Outside of the normal everyday stuff, my wife and I sail (cruise) the Great Lakes and also race sailboats. The racing gene never goes away even after the bikes are gone.

Is there a lot of strategy in that? I could see how there could be some wind stealing strategies that could come into play. OTOH maybe the sails are small enough that it wouldn't even be noticeable.

Re: What are your hobbies outside of MxSim???
There's quite a lot of strategy actually. The racing rules make it such that you have to think about how you're going to overtake, block, etc, to not foul but to also keep the advantage. Even in small dinghy racing, things like stealing someone else's air by creating turbulence in the airflow across their sales are pretty important (and avoiding these situations too). Then, understanding weather, currents, water patterns, etc add a lot of complexity that really separate racers.

It sounds like something you could make a really interesting video game about. (Not me though!)ddmx wrote: ↑Thu Dec 22, 2022 12:10 am There's quite a lot of strategy actually.

Check out Sailaway 2 and in progress, Sailaway 3. A simulation sailing game built on Unity. Sailaway 3 will be a game changer. There are many YouTube videos from the creator on progress. It actually reminds me quite closely to your work on MXS. A niche market but incredibly cool simulator potential.

Just had a look. That's pretty crazy how he's making the ropes work!

Re: What are your hobbies outside of MxSim???
Hanging out with my family, knives, guns, games. Starting to get back into mxsim...been playing mx bikes for a bit but, sim feels like home. Maybe bikes will get better? I mean, I can't run a clean lap on Sim right now, but I am getting back into the swing of it. Bikes just feels wrong, but it is fun...
Been a long time. I even bought the game again because my old PC is sitting and I don't feel like getting it all hooked up and booted so I can get back into Sim! I need to though. Some epic tracks on there that I can't find anymore, like Black Mesa...
Maybe I can get back to Pro level and start racing again. I see DDavis is still out there. Maybe an old fart like me can run with the youngun's still...

PureMXS repository has a lot of old bangers on it, for the people who played quite a few years ago. I'll update it with Black Mesa (link) immediately!
