In fact, (having helped a friend on Sundays for three years – the only day he had time – to complete a big wooden one), I would say that, specifically, backyard bowls are OUR midlife-mobile, MC.
I dunno… I’m much less skittish about dropping down a foot or two of vert than I am about trying a trick I don’t know how to do, on anything… so maybe vert is our midlife Corvette?(our glass fortress our mainstay…)?
I was 6yrs old playing t-ball when I hit a line drive straight at the crotch of the girl on the pitchers mound. She dropped and everyone is yelling at me to run, I felt horrible for her. And yes, t-ball is co-ed, I wasn’t on the girls team- at least I think.
I seem to get hurt more and often on small stuff like mini-ramps, small concrete bowls, curbs, etc. than the big stuff. A good example of a place where this happens to me ALOT is Pier. Also, It feels better (for me) to get a scratcher in the deep end of Pier than a long 50-50 in the tiny bowl.
I don’t know, the little stuff kicks my ass! When I fall on the little stuff I just…fall. I can run out of the bigger stuff way easier! Love it all though!
Self-esteem is just that, for SELF. And mini ramps are the cure for my AOV. (Adult Onset Vagina) I’ll skate much longer in life on minis than I would an 11′ vert. And I’ll have more fun each session.
Says The other MC that skates the big bowl at Pier park way more and way more better than me. Wait that might be the problem? I need to skate the big bowl at pier way more!
