No joke I’m 34 and I got back into skateboarding recently after a 15 year break. I’ve been going through a rough time, I had a messy divorce earlier this year, my grandmother died, moved to a new town, shitty job. Skateboarding has been my emotional outlet where I don’t stress about anything when I’m doing it.

I was having a hard time with my now ex-girlfriend the other night and I skated through downtown to have a beer by the train tracks to calm down. On my way back two different drunk college kids asked me mockingly “cAn yOu Do a KiCKfliP?!?!”

I had to pause for a second because I very nearly snapped and assaulted these stupid little fucks. Luckily I just went on my way but it scares me how close I came to doing something stupid.
