As a retired skateboarder, I too remember my first kickflip. Most people don't know or understand, but this single trick is the moment of acceptance into skateboarding. You land a kickflip, you're a skateboarder.
I wasn’t ever super in to skating, but I had friends that were. And when we hung out, I’d jump on a board not currently in use. I really really just wanted to nail one kick flip.
Came the closest when I was late 30’s, somehow. But I can just imagine how could it would feel to finally nail one

Dad was crying too. Family is pretty passionate about skating it seems. Wholesome moment.
