Damn man.

If my backyard wasn't barricaded off to promote grass growth, I'd say c'mon down for a backyard hang around the fire.

Absolutely tremendous, I guarantee it.

I have a sudden urge to buy a suit.

Make sure it's ill-fitting, baggy, and with too-long sleeves.

I never had a skate park like this one near me as a kid, so I took my basic skill sets and started slow, but eventually caught a groove before I fell back into a sloppy tired state. Kind of worked out drop ins on a 1/4 pipe that was 3 ft tall and leveled out with a nice pad of flat concrete. Bonked my elbow on one attempt, scuffs but no damage done.

My kid knew another boy from school and they hung out while his dad and I cruised around.... the only adult fucks on skateboards.

Kiddo on his scooter, how cool is this spot?

I always wished I had better skills when I used to skate, that park looks epic. I rode around my neighborhood a lot and stuff but never really mastered any tricks. A broken arm ultimately ended my skating career as I just never felt too comfortable on one again.

It was about 7 pm on a cool summer day, and I was really into a longboard that I bought myself that summer. I've used it about a dozen times at night, when I'd go for a puff and cruise around my neighborhood. My wife asked me to pick a few things up at a Dollarama about 6 miles away from the , so I took my board knowing that I had an hour before they close, and I wanted the workout and it was a perfect excuse to ride my board. Got there just in the nick of time, and grabbed the bday trinkets she requested. Pleased with my journey, I threw my helmet back on and began -ing home. It was now getting dark and I had an interesting strip of asphalt to cruise home on, super wide, but it was beside a pretty serious roadway, where cars tend to reach freeway speeds. Thankfully, the path was smooth and had a guardrail separating bicyclists and pedestrians from the cars. There was one stretch that dipped down into a valley and eventually across some railroad tracks, and somehow I had an okay time making it down from the opposite side earlier. I looked forward to taking it on again . I could normally control my speed going downhill using a number of techniques, but I overestimated the decent on the the way back and was now moving beyond a sustainable speed thanks to a speed wobble and too narrow of a strip to alternate directions and strip off speed! I went from a comfortable carving style transition to straight down trying to sustain my speed wobble, and not it the rock wall put on my right side, and a metal guard rail on my left. The darkness only made things seem more dramatic. Thankfully I was 3/4 of the way down the slope and I knew that the wobble wasn't going to get any worse and I felt like I reached my max speed. Did I mention that I just installed new bearings from a Japanese industrial bearing supplier? That board was fucking fast! Finally reached level ground and my eyes caught the newest obstacle, the railroad tracks, and they were already closer then I though that they would be, I assumed that they were in the middle of the valley's dip.. Not so! If I tried to bail I was going to hit the pavement hard or I would run into an immovable object on both sides of me, so there really was nowhere for me to go safely. I figured, that this was going to hurt NO MATTER WHAT I did, so I chose the dumbest/most epic way to take on this looming :doom: , I was literally going to try and jump the tracks :LOLOL: , it obviously didn't work but I knew it and thought at least I'll go down in heroic fashion. The front wheels got over the first set of tracks, and the back wheels dug right into the rut. The board came to an immediate halt as I projectiled like a big fucking idiot. When I hit the ground it was feet first, knee second, ribcage and hands third. My face was fine, thankfully. I lied there waiting for my brain to convince my lungs that they were going to have to suck air in, regardless of the pain they knew would follow. *GASP* followed by moan, fuck, and a laugh. I was alive, I looked back at my board and it was in the first track. So that didn't go well. I got up and tested all of my limbs, nothing broken at least, but the palms of my hands were torn badly and so was my right knee. A flap of skin encrusted with greasy little pebbles and sand hung off my bone white kneecap. It was gross, but only got worse when blood started to pour out of the remaining flesh. I wiped as much of the dirt off as I could, picked up my board and walked up the hill on the other side of the tracks. Slowly alternating between walking and skating back to the house once I reached level ground again.

It took about a month for that skin to recover, I found a pretty cool gel like fake skin pad that acted as a barrier between my knee and pants. :superderp:

If I were you Mario, I would def invest in top shelf helmets and pads for you and the kiddo. Ounce of prevention and all that......
