Of course, it doesn't really matter one iota what you do with yourself in your spare time, just as long as it's legal, doesn't cause any harm and you enjoy it. But if you want to adopt a pastime that will put you up there with society's finest, then read on.

Here are 5 uber-cool hobbies which have the potential to make you the envy of your whole neighbourhood.

1. Doing Tricks

It's been a great many years since skateboards and BMX bikes first kicked off (excuse the pun), but they have certainly not lost one single bit of their cool!

They are such a wheelie (sorry) exciting hobby to have and mastering a tough new trick can be a genuinely rewarding experience!

With skateboards or BMXs you can -

Impress your friends!

Wow the ladies!

Lose your teeth!

2. Being in Control

Now, here's a funny thing.

A remote control helicopter or car will often earn you the respect of your friends. Yet a remote control boat will probably result in a total loss of any street cred you previously had!

It all comes ...
... down to speed and excitement I guess. Tearing up the tarmac with a car or corking through the air with a ‘copter is far more exciting than chasing the local ducks with a chug-chug boat.

3. Making Music

Writing and playing your own songs has always been a really cool pastime to have. But one of the best things about it is its flexibility; you can make music with your friends or you can simply choose to go it alone.

Maybe you fancy yourself as the next Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen or Kurt Cobain? Or perhaps you and your buddies have plans to be the new Smashing Pumpkins, Joy Division or Wishbone Ash?

Who knows. This could be the start of something really big!

4. Making Art

Anyone has the ability to draw. Okay, so some people may have a natural flair for artistry, but that doesn't stop everyone else from learning how!

And there are so many different areas to consider in the world of art... graphic novels, tattoos, animation, portraiture, cartoons, caricatures, street art, web design, logo design. The list goes on forever!

You could even trying making a mint by exhibiting your own unmade bed or by sticking sheep in vat full of formaldehyde. No, wait; that's already been done.

5. Being a Good Sport

As you are no doubt aware, they are oodles of different sports. And each one of these has a continual need for star players! So, do you have what it takes?

If you have the ability to stay underwater for long periods of time, then you could make a great swimmer. Or perhaps your long-distance ball-throwing skills can help you to become the next Ian Botham.
