Know how to fall....

In skateboarding, knowing how to jump is a big deal.  
Bragging rights.  



If you can land this, you will be taken seriously, or at least humored in any case.


But more important than landing a jump, is knowing how to fall........



 


..........land on your knees and slide to the bottom.  

For the record, my heart still skips a beat until he stands up and starts climbing out of that bowl - the bowl that is 8 feet from top to bottom.
I'm a good skater mom.  I don't scream "Are you okay???".  I sit quietly and try to look like my son has not just fallen 8 feet.
I just wait until he stands up.
And then I breath again.

Did I mention that bowl is 8 feet from top to bottom?
{skip, skip, skip, skip......}
