I grew up skateboarding. It was my escape plan. It took me places. I learned mastery from skateboarding. I learned to hide injuries from my father, cos\u2019 the pain of the falls are less than the wrath of my father.<\/p>\n
I recently watched a video of a girl learning to do tricks on a skateboard over a 12-month period.<\/p>\n
It’s incredible. It’s like watching a time-lapse video of a plant grow. She made incremental gains, some bad falls, and also some giant leaps.<\/p>\n
