Luke Rainbird Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 10 years ago I'd have predicted that I'd be where I am now, ish. 10 years from now I'd like to be married with kids. Ohhhhh, Macarena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Will be 30 by then, maybe have a wife and a kid. Hopefully finish univesity and have a go at a city planning or engineering course as well. Start up a business, someting to do with trade or go into banking, and in my free time travel arround the world (especially China, Japan, Hong-kong etc.) If I succeed I'd like to move back to London, but judging by the prices that is very unlikely And as far as bikes go, I think I'll ditch trials in about 3 years and start riding XC as a form of recreation Half way through, haven't done a single thing from that list lol. Done better things and accomplished more instead Thanks for the bump, nice to look back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 I'll be 29. I hope to be well established into the visual media industry, either TV or film but I've not specified which or roughly where I want to go, but I imagine I will draw upon where I want to go in the next couple of years. I would like to imagine this job will be paying a decent wage, so I'll have a house with a missus, possibly married and about ready to have kids. I'd also like to have a nice motorbike in the garage and some kind of car. I'd also want to be covered in tattoos by that point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 32. Fully licensed aircraft engineer. Living in the Netherlands. Dutch girl on my arm. I'll be riding some sort of bicycle, I very much doubt I'll be riding trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Manual Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Very interesting to see what people put four years back. Can see that a couple of people I know of aren't heading toward what they originally planned, although I guess there's very few people that end up doing what they set out to. In ten years I'll be 34. Ideally I'll be a human rights lawyer for a leading law firm or chartable organisation, although that all depends on whether I do well enough in the next yearish so that my degree is good enough to get me the masters course I need. Not all that bothered about what I own; so long as I'm comfortable (although I find that word a bit annoying) and have enough cash to get by, then screw it. One exception perhaps; owning a small flat would be good as suitable sanctuary from the world is essential every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I don't like the idea of a plan at all. Looking at Bongo/Greetings' posts, often the best things that happen are entirely unexpected. There have been various times over the last few years where I've literally stopped and asked myself, how did I come to be here, doing this, right now? How did it ever come to this? And it's a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellingtj Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I'll be 42, hopefully a forwards curve trader of gas, oil or power, probably in London, but and here's the but, the birth of my first child has dampened my drive for capitalism and made me realize that I like living in the country and it would be a nicer place for her to grow up. All bets are off then, 10 years ago I thought I'd still be working in photonics now - how different things have turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I will be the ripe old age of 35! Hopefully i will have moved to the Gold coast in Australia with my better half! If im not still in a decent paid welding job i will hopefully have my own Volkswagen/ streetfighter custom shop. And would like a nice place slightly out of town with 10-20 aceres of land so i can have a MX track out the back and a mini trials/skate park and foam pit! That would be my dream/plan at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsmax04 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 i will be 27, hopefully a geologist of some sort. Hopefully working somewhere decent like canada, new zeland, scotland, iceland, norway.......... Cornwall but hopefully not the last one. Riding bikes for sure. Probably more mototrials. Taken my bike test. Ridden in at least one scottish six day trial. Be chilled. Not get to carried away with spending on my bikes. Not murdered my geography teachers.... Unlikely.

Mike Deere Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 I used to have a five-year plan, but never a ten year plan. That lasted the whole a month before I realised it wasn't happening (which was a good thing, btw) as suddenly product designers were out of demand. That and I hate desks. I thought about this question last night and I realised I don't have a plan for the next 10 days let alone 10 years. I've had numerous opportunities to settle down into a stable, and more financially secure, routine but in all honesty I'd get itchy feet and wanna change direction within a year. Again. So for now I just take photos every day. Sometimes people pay me, sometimes it gets me in trouble with the police, but mostly it puts a great big smile on my face...

Bronz Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 I'll be 30. All I know is that I don't want to be a web developer all my life and I want to do more with the next ten years than I have with the previous ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 What do you hope to/recon you'll be doing in 10 years time? I'll be 27, with a job in the oil industry and a marriable lady to keep me in check. Other than that, who knows! Go team... AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! don't do it!! The oil industry sucks ass! You will learn to suck Satans cock without realizing you are doing it, trust me I have been sucking it for years, finally stopped. On a more serious note I will be 46 and STILL riding.

Scott Gibbs Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) Jake at the moment im not working as a welder i work for a ballistic body armour manufacturer. I do a bit of welding from time to time making jigs and such just to keep my eye in. I plan to go to Australia on a trade visa as a welder. As i have found through various sources an average welder in a factory out there earns more than i would here doing a similar job. So whats your plans bud?

Scott Gibbs Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Matt i really wish i could go now but i still have 2 years on my mortgage we cant really sell now because if we do we'll get hammered with early repayment charges to the tune of about £5000! So we have to kind of sit it out for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rab shropshire Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 i'll be 34 probably still in the army and hopefully still riding, my baby boy will be 10 years old and i will be one of those pushy dads that make him ride trials / moto trials, even though he really just wants to play his playstation 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically somewhere along the lines of your previous post, the welding game is dead in this country well its not just just the welding game but just general way of life doesnt appeal to me over here, I am a multi coded welder worked all over the country on various pipelines but have recently come out of work. I like to work away for a few months doing longggg hours on shutdowns then come home and have a month off etc but its gettimg harder and harder and the government just seem to want more and more all the time. I would love to move to oz, work less hrs, ride more but still have a good standard of living if not better which somewhere like australia seems to have for me.

jt123 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 I'll be 28 and living life one day at a time and enjoying life, other than having my own tuning garage and meeting the two kids I have running round I dont really have a plan as such.

Davetrials Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 32, live somewhere other than England, Either photographing, or working in a re-touching house i have no clue <img src="http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> i'll be 27. with a bit of luck not living in this city, maybe not even country. I'll probably be an engineer, or full time rock star depending on how the drumming goes..

Walleee Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 <img src="http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbdown.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="thumbdown.gif" /> I'll be 29 I'd ideally like to still be riding trials, be working in a steady job bringing in at least £30k/year, car, house, and possibly even a kid. I'd want to be a young dad rather than an old one. My parents were parents by the time they were 20/21 with me, that's not something I could handle at the minute, but i'd like my first child before im 30 for sure. Preferably a boy who's mum would then be a fully fledged MILF, gotta have a nice arse and accept my flaws, wouldn't mind picking up a welsh girl cos their accents hot as....... Hopefully she'd be an artist or in that sort of field to contrast with my occupation which will most likely be in Computer Aided Manufacture or PLC's of some sort. Ideally i'd be a self-employed CAM operator working on prototypes for new product's. I'd also love to be part of a product testing team, ripping stuff apart in a stress machine all day sound's like fun.... I'd like to have stopped smoking by that time too, infact i'd like to have stopped smoking by this time next year... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> well four years on and im still smoking, not with a girl(dont want to be), and havn't owned a bike in over a year, nevermind riding! Spend most of my time working in a wank call centre while I look for something else and have got back into sailing after a break of a few years....
