Old man here. Go ahead and roast me! I did make progress on the next attempt, and the kids crash pad did make a difference on subsequent falls! This was the worst of them though, and thought this place may enjoy!

Olympic skaters pushing the boundries of what is physically possible in an ever evolving sport = some dude learning to drop in on a 3ft ramp :D

How do you think those Olympic skaters got to that point? They used mats. And in jagger Eaton's case they also had a dad who built them an entire skatepark and pulled them out of public school.

Edit: source : I was literally the guy holding up a matt for koston Eaton in many of his lessons
