Well I'm 16, but started 6 months ago and am homeschooled, so I skate in the adult community. All my skating friends are over 40.
This is a legit convo with a girl I met in an art class.
Them: Can you do a triple axel?
Me: Nope.
Double?
Nope.
Single?
Nope.
What can you do?
A waltz jump, two-foot spin, mohawks, 3-turns, etc.
Cool, so do you like compete?
Not yet, but I'm going to start.
Like the Olympics?
Um, no, basic skills. It's going to be filled with a bunch of 6 year olds, but it will be fun.
Haha, that's embarassing.
I don't really care.
Can you do that thing where you like sit and spin?
A sit-spin? Um, no.
Well those look really cool, you should learn how to do those.
My coach hasn't taught me yet, I have to learn other things first.
Oh, you have a coach? But isn't that for like Olympians?
No, most skaters have coaches.
How much do you pay her?
$50 for an hour.
You know how much weed you could buy with that?
Um, I don't do drugs...
Well still, that's a lot of money for a person who is competing with 6 year olds.
My parents pay for it, but I love it, so it's worth it for me.
Wow, you are spoiled.
Then the teacher came in.
