Keep it light plz. For example, I am terrible terrible bowler. Just absolutely piss poor even compared to equally casual people, any time there’s been some kinda get together involving bowling I have come in last by a huge huge margin. I need the bumpers. I can bowl a perfect game in wii sports tho.
FPS games as well, not really a fan and have never ever been able to hack it at them. After graphics got good enough I didn’t find the perspective disorienting team sticks became the norm and I’m left handed so that was a weird thing to adjust to for me and by then it was 360 era CoD time and I wanted nothing to do with it and would just die 4 seconds into each spawn anyway.
Skateboarding. I tried learning how to Ollie for like an entire summer in highschool. I don’t think I got the board off the ground once
it’s so hard!
try surfing, it’s like skating but without the concrete. much better.
Oh fuck nahh I would probably crack myself I’m the head with the board or get yelled at by a local lmao. I used to live near the beach so had a few close call things that stress me out - went sailing and dropped anchor at a mile marker to swim. Learned later that there were sharks chillin there. Another one I went swimming alone when it was choppy, being was too confident in my skills, too late to seim into the wave and Poseidon tossed me to the bottom of the ocean 3 times before deciding he didn’t want me and hurled me back to shore. Definitely thought I was going to die lol.
Did you surf often?
somewhat often.
and yes I have split my eyebrow open with my board and gotten stitches. so I guess it is still kind of dangerous. but it didn’t hurt every time you do it like skateboarding lol.
Ollies are hard as hell. I was pretty good at skating when I was younger and did it more and I couldn’t really Ollie 2 months in either, I learned some freestyle tricks on the side as well as bonelesses and some other non Ollie based things and just did some cruising around, I ollied later but has better board control and more tricks than my friends at the same time cause I wasn’t just grinding out ollied until I got mad. I wouldn’t get too down about it in general, skateboarding is really really really difficult, easily the hardest thing I’ve ever been decent at.
I think I was just so focused on trying to do one of the most basic tricks that I lost sight of the fun lol. I could ride around okay, but I really wish I didn’t have to get off my board to get up curbs! And I wasn’t very good at turning sharp either. I can’t believe I was trying to use it as a regular mode of transport at one point lol.
That’s the thing with ollies, they aren’t basic at all as far as difficulty but it’s so fundamental to modern skating.its a huge hurdle right at the start
