Big Turk Posted November 2, 2024 Posted November 2, 2024 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, 2024 Posted November 2, 2024 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, 2024 Posted November 2, 2024 (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, 2024 by SoMAn 1 2 1 Quote

PonyBoy Posted November 2, 2024 Posted November 2, 2024 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, 2024 Posted November 2, 2024 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, 2024 Posted November 2, 2024 Probably took the training chair from some little kid who really needed it. 🤨 1 1 Quote
