Gymnastics, ive always wanted to be able to do it but never really had the chance or opportunity to do it (mostly due to life events and circumstances). I mean sure i could out on the grass and practice but the last time i tried a back flip i landed on my neck  |

I wouldn't say I have a fear of failure anymore, but I am afraid of proving those who said I'm useless/worthless/never achieve anything right. That would be more painful than them saying it and even if they never found out I mucked things up, I'd know they were right and that's too much to bare. |

I think that everything I’ve wanted to try I’ve done tbh. There are things that when I can I want to go back to such as bouldering though I’ve lost the needed strength in my grip and fingers |

Always fancied that but have never been able to haul my own body weight. There’s a bit too much timber of the old frame. |

It’s actually more about leg strength than upper body to begin with. Ignore the pros you see they are superhuman  |

Try it. But take it in small manageable steps, so as not to overwhelm yourself and set yourself up for failure.
I’d like to do some musical or artistic, but I’ve come to terms long ago I just don’t have a talent for either of those things. |

"Loads of stuff. I seem to have a different hobby each week. In fact I think my hobby is researching and buying materials for a hobby, then doing nothing with it. "
Maybe combine that with selling things on eBay |

That requires the motivation to sell on eBay  |

ballet dancing or shuffle danceing
And it’s not for the dancing I want it
The foot control off on the balls off they toes can transfer over in to something else
My foot works good but evertime I see a shuffle dance or a ballet dance I see the paternal off the transfer |

DIY and mechanics. I'm honestly crap with tools and don't have a clue what goes on under a car but I think of how much money I can save if I could just do bits by myself.
I guess what's stopping me is I wouldn't want to do anything wrong and make it worse  |

Mr NBVN is a climber and we have a finger board above one of the doors in our living room. My 14 year old son can now reach it and he has started using it more than Mr NBVN

"I’ve always wanted to fly, but the obvious stumbling block is a big financial one.
Maybe one day before I shuffle off. "
Same here, I've been up in a two seater on 6 occasions, done aerobatics as a passenger on the first flight and gave the pilot a running commentry all the way through.
Turns out that was better than listening to back seaters throwing up, loved every minute of it.
I also had my first helicopter flight, about 6 years ago. Got the video footage to prove and an ariel photo that beats Google Earth of my previous address.
There are two really cheaper options. Take up gliding or paragliding (only done a taster session) if you want to feel the air on your face.
There are plenty of clubs around the country, give it abash.
Flying IS addictive.

Piano!!
I’ve always wanted to be the guy that sits on one in an airport / pub / restaurant and blasts out John Legend all of me…and of course sing along to it (would completely clear a room)!
And I haven’t because life just gets in the way…shit excuse I know!! |

"Snatch lift & Pull ups
 "
I've just started arm pull downs and leg presses again... The assisted pull up machine always has horrid sweating, grunting men on it |

"To play the piano. I learned a little when I was young but dropped it at a young age. Wish I had the time to learn."
I'd love to do that too as the piano is my favourite musical instrument but sadly, early onset arthritis in my hands say otherwise.
I'd quite like to take up archery one day. |

Ooh, Archery! Yes!
I've done it a few times, and seemed to be a natural with it (well compared to the others), so would like to give it a better go.
Again, time gets in the way. |
