Started skating at 41 as a mum, just after getting PhD – turning 50 next month. Super stoked, it’s the most fun decade of my life. A bit optimistic but want nice kickflip and maybe tre flip next decade Who knows? Every trick or goal is just ‘something you haven’t got yet’ pic.twitter.com/CoXmaPCn4l
