wish i'd stuck with skating when i was young enough to better afford injury instead of chickening out the first time i really hurt myself wish my dad had told me to man up (but would that have worked, really)https://twitter.com/goblinodds/status/1410667555132301313 …

as an adult i realize how cool it was that my dad introduced me to skating, got into it himself, showed me skate videos, took me to skate shops, bought me hook-ups stickers for my board, took me to the skate park

the first and only time i went to a skate park, i was about 9, tried to skate across a little dip-- the board shot out from under me into the pool where a bunch of older kids were taking a class. i fell on my ass, my tailbone hurt for days. thoroughly humiliating
