[VIDEO] You should watch this if you haven't seen it before. He talks about how being able to fail so much at something is what makes us unique and how it shapes who we are. That was really fun to watch keep at it, even if it takes another 700 times. We do it because we love it, not necessarily because we're good at it :)

I'm 32 and just got a deck to kill the time during quarantine. ​ I'm a lot heavier than I was when I skated 15 years ago, so it's a fucking hell of a workout. ​ The only thing that matters is having to enjoy yourself. [VIDEO]
