“All that stuff you hear about parents not knowing where their kids were or what they were up to is 100% true. “ 🤘 Yup! I did some seriously stoopid shit as a kid, although no skateboarding or roof jumping. Both my brother and I had lost our front teeth by age 17.
Holy shit, man, your poor back! May the back pills ALWAYS work!
My buddies and I had the great idea to jump off my parent’s garage roof and into our above ground pool. We survived and so did the pool! So then we got the bright idea to take my sister’s Big Wheel and jump off into the pool. Success! Was great fun until dad got home and caught my buddy mid jump. 🤣
I had a neighbor with an in ground pool, a trampoine, and easy access to his roof. We were mid-plot when we got busted. A few years ago we had a pool installed in our current backyard. I specifically had it installed far enough away from our roofline to prevent any temptation.
I had the idea at about age 11 that I would start jumping off the roof to our little shed and work my way up to roofs and then taller things... I did get up to one regular roof jump and that pretty well ended that idea
I'm old as shit but I still skate. Of course, that consists of rock and rolls and grinds on a quarter pipe and slappies. I can't (and won't dare try) to ollie more than 5 stairs anymore.

The fact that any of us made it to adulthood is pretty amazing. As for my back… I was cursed with a teenager’s sense and an old man’s back, lol.
I have old lady knees, Rob, I hear ya. 🤘

I believe ours was at least a 6 foot gap. Lol

Our generation invented parkour!
“I used to jump off roofs,” I said.

That Cab deck is dusty but I refuse to get rid of it. I've rolled up and down the street a few times but man falling hurts more than it used to.
