Granted, it's not every day that a college professor decides to take up skateboarding. However, there are a several really good reasons for my doing so:
1. Skating gives me something that I can do alongside my son, a common interest that we both really enjoy.
2. Skating is great physical activity, and I find it mentally stimulating as well.
3. Skateboarders are an interesting community of learners, and the way they share knowledge and build on each other's understanding is interestng to me.
4. I enjoy the challenge of something I have no chance of mastering at my age.
5. I like skating, and I like skaters. |
