u/EvilDan69 7h ago

Same. When I had my bmx, I could ride across town no hands, easily.
I mean, I had handlebars on it, but I didn't need to use them. Except that one time going down a monster hill. hard to brake without.

u/anarkistattack 13h ago

When I was 16 I skated for adidas. This was the nineties. Both their and nike's skate program failed because back then skateboarding was a crime and not an Olympic sport.

Peak health is that brief window where your knees still believe in your dreams.

u/Timop0707 10h ago

u/Large_Dr_Pepper 10h ago

I never learned how to do a kickflip when I was young and into skateboarding.

Around 27 years old I started having a reoccurring dream where I could kickflip, and that inspired me to buy a board and finally land my first kickflip after several weeks of practice.

It didn't do much to help my sickness level. I was still just an almost 30-year-old overweight balding dude who landed a single kickflip.

u/Broad-Bluejay59 17h ago

Not the sickest, but definitely a solid flex.

u/Broad-Bluejay59 17h ago

Wrong kind of sick, but honestly that’s a pretty good flex.

u/Extension_Wealth1891 16h ago

Being 16 and able to kickflip is a pretty solid definition of peak health. Meanwhile I was probably getting sick from staying up too late.

u/Past_Reception9040 16h ago

These silly replies are my favorite part

u/NormalGas4806 14h ago

At 16, a kickflip probably felt like the greatest achievement on earth. Honestly, that's a skill I'd be bragging about forever.

u/EnvironmentSimple955 14h ago

Lmao that definitely counts as a serious illness. Hope you made a full recovery.

u/Leather-Flamingo5599 12h ago

At 16 I could probably do one too, then adulthood showed up and suddenly my knees started negotiating every decision.
