    My husband used to skateboard 8 hours a day as a kid growing up. When our son started showing interest he got back on it… For one day.

    His ankles and knees are a bit fucked from all those years boarding, and he won’t get back on it out of these same fears. There are other sports probably just as fun lol

      And your husband knows what he’s doing on a skateboard. Learning at my age will destroy my knees and make me look like an idiot. Part of me will always want to know the thrill of zooming down a half-pipe, but it’s just not worth it. Someone suggested longboarding, that might be fun, or maybe surfing.
