do you think you have really spend 20,000 hours skating ? that is 8 years of 40 hours / week. of going hard actually skating, i have spent that much time at spots maybe haha but not actually trying tricks.
i feel like most people dont even crack 20 hrs a week for an entire year, and especially living in ontario it would be very hard to keep that up consistently for 16 years. i have been skating about 26 years, and i have put a lot of time in but i would think its closer to 10,000 than 20,000 for me personally. but you are also a lot better of a skater than i am as well. respect for all the time put in. what are we really here on this planet for anyway? fuck it.
