I’ve had the nice experience of teaching my younger brother chess and as he made those bad blunders I started to remember when I played the same and made me happy. We like to review his games together and have a laugh at the shit moves and crack jokes like “killing a fly with a bazooka”.
So I would like to know what you guys enjoyed re-living and teaching.
I’ve been skateboarding since '85 and snowboarding since about '90.
Now that I’m old and broken, I love nothing more than a mellow day at the park teaching people new tricks or helping them improve the ones they know.
My bag of tricks gets smaller with age, but seeing someone land a trick for the first time never gets old.
That sounds really satisfying, good on you for encouraging the kids to have fun
You sound pretty cool, kudos!
I bet teaching/seeing people get ollies and kickflips are very emotional in a positive sense, and opens a world of possibilities for the learner.
