Roasting and brewing the best coffee I possibly can.
Installing open source operating systems or firmware on every device I can.
Longboarding is a hobby I picked up a few years ago and it’s a ton of fun. Just riding along you feel like you’re floating over the pavement and the feeling is addicting. You can get e-boards if you’re not into pushing but I haven’t gone down that road yet since they seem heavier and more expensive. Also, most of them you can’t push and you have to rely on your battery and motor so if you run out m, you’re stuck. Some companies like the one I bought my board from (Bustin) make hybrid boards but they’re pricey.
I do sport kite flying and kite making, and I love it. It's incredibly small and niche.
The kites are multi-line kites that can be controlled from the ground, and I typically fly to music and perform at kite festivals. I also build my kites myself by sewing together ripstop for the sails, cutting down carbon tubes for the frame, and 3d printing fittings.
I don't know if this necessarily counts; but indie wrestling! I wrestle in the indies and the love and passion our people have in our community is absolutely wonderful. Not too many of friends that I had before have actually come to shows, and I would love if they would!
I never took an interest in wrestling at all before I saw my first show, but the brutality and theatrics had me spellbound.
Caving (although not so much these days) and FPV drone flying
Idk about niche so much as, not nearly as popular as it used to be. Circle track asphalt racing. My whole family is in on it. My grandpa did it, my dad and my uncle's did it (and are helping us) now my brother's and I are carrying the legacy. Used to be 17 people from our town showing up to the track every weekend. Now there's 2 of us crews that show up.
Offroading in a full size vehicle. Most people on trails have moved to Side by Sides which takes half the fun out of wheeling. I prefer difficult technical trails where we are crawling along at 5-10mph.
The things is it's half the actual wheeling and half the building of the rig. There's nothing more satisfying than spending all week building something then having it work properly on the trail over the weekend

K9 Agility
I kinda wonder if my husky would be good at that. Before I moved, she would tear ass through the backyard around all the crap I kept out there like an obstacle course.
I'd probably have a harder time keeping up with her than her doing all those jukes and doing the course lol
It's definitely worth the shot. Many agility trainers will do an evaluation with the owner and the dog to see how well they would react on a course.
You'd ideally want to have a near perfect recall, as well as being able to command from a distance. If you could do both then it will be easy for your dog to learn the obstacles.
There are quite a lot of videos of high end competitions and theirs at least one of every breed.

I like to make mistakes (yes, on cassette). It's a time to be with my music, think about it, maybe have a beer. I make the cover artwork and then later I can listen to something I made.
