Sk8 or Die?...mostly just hurt myself really bad.

Have you ever really wanted to do something that you just knew deep inside you weren't cut out to do? Some people should never cook; stay away from the kitchen and dine out should be plastered above the refridgerator. Some people will never play a "Dsus2" and pull it off. Seriously, trying is one thing when you're alone in your house...it's just sad when you do it in public.

Have you ever really wanted to do something you might be able to pull off, but just didn't have the courage to do?

Well, SurfExpo.com reminded me of all the things I wish I would have done in the earlier parts of my youth, but never had the guts to pull off.

In my early 20s I attempted to learn to skate board and could ollie and even pulled off a 50/50 board slide and shove it once. In the end I was way too conscious about hurting myself and losing my job or something. Real Punk, I know.

I watched skating videos on that site for a while thinking to myself, "you know, kyle (that's what I call myself) I really could have been half decent if I would started doing this at like age 13 or something. Hindsight is 20/20 and oh so rosey.

what do you wish you could have learned earlier in life?
