    Bet that I can send an ollie by Sept 31, 2024: Hubris or possible?

    I'm 42 and haven't skateboarded in over 25 years. I was a poor skateboarder back then and did no tricks. I don't even own a skateboard yet. That said, I have a high level of foolish hubris.

    Training will probably begin in May when ski season is over so injury wont take turns away

    What are my chances?

    I give you 98% of getting the back wheels off the ground and landing on your deck. Not that hard to do an Ollie as a coordinated adult. A good moving Ollie is another beast.

                      And then, after you heal up from that, slide the handrail.

                          It's like the movie Tron, but it's skiing through a forest.

                            at the very least, it should hold the madness and malaise at bay for a few months.

                              I bought a longboard when I was about 42 years of age. It seemed like a good idea at the time
