The ad is aimed at kids and what they like to do, pulling heartstrings.

Very, very few make a living at skateboarding, or professional sports, or hundreds of hobbies we had as a kid.

Wonder what the ratio of professional skateboarders is, to the number of kids that had life altering injuries while falling off rails and such?

In most cities the building manager has to install knobs and spikes on their hand rails, less the building owners be sued for an attractive nuisance.

I remember being crestfallen when I found out there was no professional carpet gun league

Even professional skateboarders may have trouble making more money than their injuries will eventually cost them. Leticia Bufoni from Brazil can do seemingly impossible things on a skateboard but the 5’3” 98 pounder takes a lot of spills, hard knocks, and occasional injuries.

Those that “just do it” with tattoos often live to regret just doing it.
