爱好者给MIKE的信
Hey Mike.
I got an interest in skateboarding through my brother a number years back (who’s now given skating up due to injury) but when I came across you, you were instantly my favorite skater for many obvious reasons. I never tried skateboarding myself and just lived it through my brother, but I’m now considering taking it up… at the age of 25 (which I’ve been told by some is too old to just get into it. But I know you would say that’s B.S.)
I have less than zero confidence, self-esteem, etc. I’m overweight and suffer from, what I consider, crippling depression. And the way you talk about skateboarding saving and changing peoples lives, I think it would really help. But I’ve always worried about the weight issue. The last thing my shot confidnce and self-esteem needs is breaking a board by just getting on it.
What are your thoughts on trying to skate at the age of 25 with so many “issues?” I’d really appreciate any advice you can throw my way. Thanks and take care.
