Too many to list... I'm lucky i'm not dead tbh
- Growing up in Signal Hill, "luging" on my skateboard from the top of the hill to Mac's with my cousin in the middle of the road
- A cpl buddies and I took turns hitching to my car down McLeod Trail after a drunken night at Limericks (hitching is someone driving a car while someone else hops on a skateboard and grabs a hold of the car from behind)
- First car, taking it with my cousin down grid roads (where Springbank hill is now) and trying to "jump" over hits going as fast as we could
- Thinking I could do my best impression of Peter Line and do a massive jump off one of the hits at COP when they first opened the park. Concussion and bruised tail bone later...
- Millennium Park first opened, tried doing a drop in on the full pipe, not realizing the level of difficulty. I'm a street skater, not a pipe skater. Surprised I didn't break my shoulder or face

So many more dumb things... I keep telling my wife that our sons will experience pain as well, just hopefully nothing that results in life altering consequences.
