as a bad surfer who refuses to quit, an expert skier (benched until i get a new knee), I have now taken up skateboarding at age 59. I suck. Why did I start now? Facing a huge fear and I refuse to die not having tried. I will likely always suck, but if I can link some turns on my carver, well that is ok. In doing so, I have connected with others doing exactly the same thing.

And if my knee were to allow it, I would set my goal on dropping into a bowl…once I get my total knee replacement, that will be it.

p.s. I got kicked out of a company’s parking garage by the cops while doing some turns, and I skated away (slowly) knowing I just got my first skate medal….
