This is great. My brother used to ride BMX, but he gave it up sometime in his 20s. One day, he just came home from a day at the park and said, "You know, I could really get hurt doing this." I'm not sure what prompted that, considering by that point I'd lost track of how many bones he'd already broken riding over the years.
