I’ve had the nice experience of teaching my younger brother chess and as he made those bad blunders I started to remember when I played the same and made me happy. We like to review his games together and have a laugh at the shit moves and crack jokes like “killing a fly with a bazooka”.
So I would like to know what you guys enjoyed re-living and teaching.
I’ve been skateboarding since '85 and snowboarding since about '90.
Now that I’m old and broken, I love nothing more than a mellow day at the park teaching people new tricks or helping them improve the ones they know.
My bag of tricks gets smaller with age, but seeing someone land a trick for the first time never gets old.
That sounds really satisfying, good on you for encouraging the kids to have fun
Rodney Mullen ftw
Nollies are badass
You sound pretty cool, kudos!
I bet teaching/seeing people get ollies and kickflips are very emotional in a positive sense, and opens a world of possibilities for the learner.
