I've lived in this area for 9 years and I never knew it existed. I used to skate when I was young. I wonder if I can still do it. They had it hidden in this back road behind some trees. It's like they were trying to hide it or something. Weird. It's got some mini- half-pipes....I don't know what they are called. I tried going up and down some of it on my e-bike. My e-bike struggled getting up some of the ramps. It was nuts because I entered this little parking lot and there it was. I was like....whoa....what the hell. I didn't even think they had skateboard parks in Indianapolis, IN.
I found a skateboard park today while riding my e-bike.

You hear about stuff and even read about it, and it doesn't actually become real for you until it happens to you.
I'm talking about "can I do what I used to"...The older you get, the longer it takes to heal and bounce back from any injury, no matter how small. I have a sneaking suspicion that most skateboard parks are secretly funded by the dental association, that, and also kiddie hockey leagues...

Yeah. I used to skate too. Used to. I don't snowboard anymore either.
If you're ever tempted to take up downhill skiing or snowboarding, go to a ski/snowboard store and ask each employee how long they've been into snow sports, and how many orthopedic surgeries they have had. I will be walking with a cane when I'm an old man unless I get a complete ankle replacement. I was excited when the FDA approved those this year.
Stick to something safer, like paragliding.

I skiied for 20 years, but now prefer softer, liquid water. So it's windsurfing. Only thing I ever broke was a rib once. Snowboarding though, I learned real fast no to do unless a foot of fresh soft snow had just fallen. I'd ski 50 mph, but no way I'd go faster than 25 on a snowboard. Last time I skateboarded the wheels were steel.
