    As someone who’s been skateboarding for 40 years, I’ve almost always had that “This is a bad idea” feeling right before getting a serious injury.

    Took longer than I care to admit to start listening to it.

      Same with dirt bikes and ATVs. Rolled a few and there’s always a point on that too steep hill where you feel the shift and realize oh no, gravity will be making all of the decisions from here on out and I’m just a spectator. I don’t ride nearly as recklessly as I used to.

      My kid loves physical fail videos, and there’s lots of skateboarding. Some make me curl up in a ball, but I let him watch them because honestly they are pretty instructive.
