I just heard they're opening the largest skate park in the city close to my home. It's always appealed to me, but I've never seriously tried it, and now I'm wondering if I should finally give it a try at my age. Or at least inspire my son to be better than me.

I would definitely recommend it. It's hard, it hurts, and it's probably hot outside but it's a good way to spend a day. Might take some time to build up the skills to go to the park but your driveway is good enough until then. Also youtube is an amazing resource for skating skills.

Depending on the flow of the skate park it is a ton of fun to just ride the flow of the park. You don't even need to do any tricks just ride it all is an immensely good time.
