Recently my buddy Zander and I devised an ingenious way to skate and ensure progression at the same time. It's called the Tall Can Challenge and this is how it works:
1.)Pick a skate object such as a bank, manual pad, rail, etc.
2.)Choose a trick that both contenders are similarly skilled at or have an equal chance at landing.
3.)Skate it until someone lands the trick
4.)The one who lands it first is now owed a tall can of PBR by the loser.
This way you get to skate, land tricks in front of your friends, and drink PBR afterward. This is a sure way to have fun this summer and I suggest you devise a way to do the same whether it be skating, rollerblading, scootering, golfing, etc.
