Big Turk Posted November 2 Posted November 2 I still don't know how to skate and I was born and raised in Buffalo. Was teased mercilessly growing up because of it too...while all my friends were skating around playing hockey on random ponds, I was out there in my sneakers or boots and being spun around like a top 😂😂 Quote
Simon Posted November 2 Posted November 2 Nice pants, spaz. I bet he wore spandex when he learned to ride a bike. Props to whoever made him use a toddler sized skate trainer. 2 Quote
SoMAn Posted November 2 Posted November 2 (edited) I skated as a kid through teen years. I could do stops and skate backwards, but was never great. I had siblings who were competitive skaters and hockey players. I had issues with feet cramping up. But I could skate just ok. So, after many years not lacing up, I rented some Ill-fitting skates at NYC Central Park Wollman Rink during a Christmas visit in 2009. Age, weight, and absence of any muscle memory took their toll. I couldn’t have looked more stiff and awkward. Think Adrian in Rocky I. Standing on those blades seemed like the most unnatural thing a human could attempt. It was captured on video tape for all to enjoy when I’m long gone. Life lesson: leave the glory days where they belong-in the past. Edited November 2 by SoMAn 1 2 1 Quote

PonyBoy Posted November 2 Posted November 2 That cart he has is what I use to take a pee break during halftime of Bills games. I can relate, it was awkward at first, but now I'm like a pro. 😀🍻 Quote

Bills!Win! Posted November 2 Posted November 2 Tom most likely spent his whole life obsessing about football which made him become so great. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are a lot of things he can’t do that normal people can. Quote

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted November 2 Posted November 2 Probably took the training chair from some little kid who really needed it. 🤨 1 1 Quote
