First she suggests that skateparks are only for kids and later she tries to frame him as unqualified to teach the kids there how to skate.
She was in the wrong way before the reveal of who he is.
Obviously. But then, after all other arguments failed, she had to start to question the guy’s qualifications on the topic.
Those are some well behaved kids, in the us they all woulda been talking some serious shit to that lady lol
You can’t extrapolate that onto the whole country. The UK has a lot of absolute garbage level little trash satans running around too.
I’ll never understand why folks keep talking with such dummies. No matter how hard you try to explain they will not agree with you so just cut the conversation and continue doing your thing.
I don’t have time to watch the video, but being able to do something and being able to teach it to someone else are two entirely different things. Especially when the goal is that the pupils don’t hurt themselves.
If you’d watched the video then you’d realise these aren’t “pupils”, this is a guy with a lot of experience in the sport passing on tips and help to the local kids at the skatepark. That is exactly how people used to learn this sport before it being mainstream and how a lot of people still do I’m sure. He is more than able to give kids help and they will appreciate it a shit load coming from someone obviously good at the sport.
Also the goal in skating is never to “not hurt yourself”, sure ideally you don’t want to hurt yourself but it is a sport that when learning you are inevitably going to hurt yourself and you need to accept that. On the whole your take is pretty shitty man.
I skated for years and wish someone older, especially someone with the kind of experience this guy has, had been around to give me tips or even just encourage me. All I had was magazines and a few videos to try to emulate.
Right? I learnt to skate before YouTube and tutorials were a thing. Just a few tips from someone who was knowledgeable probably would have help me nail Ollie’s years quicker xD
Oh hey, you must be that lady from the video!
That’s not how skate works, hoss.
You are right, doing something and teaching something are different. If you watched the video, you would also know you were wrong.
Didnt have time to read your comment, saw the downvotes and concluded you were very wrong.
That’s a stupid take. Yes, not everyone is as great of a teacher than someone else, but an expert in something will always be able to teach someone who’s inexperienced in it in some ways. By your logic no one should ever teach, or even do parenting.
