I took my kids to the skate parks many times but I never got on one myself. I am pretty sure it would end with me being injured if I tried
I skated when I was younger and had quite a bit of practice before I got on the ramp.
I can't do it with my hip these days, but I used to be able to pull off a kickflip and could olie over a milk crate without any issues. That was as an adult in his late 40s and early 50s. I'm pretty fit, actually.
Well, no... I'm a little chubby at the moment. I'll burn that off back in Maine.
I never was a skater much when I was a kid besides riding on skateboard being pulled with a tow rope by a bicycle
Meh...
There's some bumps and bruises along the way, but I only broke a wrist skating. I got off light. My son was more daring, to the point where we knew the ER workers by name.
