Tom Brady learns to skate

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 😂😂

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.
