Speaker 1
I've decided it is time for my 5 year old to start learning how to skateboard. He keeps saying he's scared. I'm thinking of a tough love approach of taking him to the skatepark and pushing him down a ramp. Shopping for helmets and protective gear as we speak. 
Speaker 2
Ha! Everyone has to learn at some point. A bicycle or a board. Its just a really good skill to have that will also come in handy when he flys the nest. What kind of board are you putting him on?
Speaker 1
Something flexible. I'm sure he'll be fine. Where do you scuba dive if you live in CO?
Speaker 2
We travel over to lakes and deep chasms in the rocks here. My favorite is the gorges before the mountains. The water is so cool to be in.
Speaker 1
Wow that must be kinda scary! Have you ever been in danger?
Speaker 2
There have been times where I needed to reorient myself because the light was bad. Other than that I stay in the novice areas. I would rather boat or raft in the rough scary places.
Speaker 1
What kind of snakes do you have?
Speaker 2
Two pythons from respectful breeders. Their names are Kate and Joann.
Speaker 1
How cute! Are they pretty?
Speaker 2
They are. One is totally albino and the other is albino with yellow spost.
Speaker 1
Very cool. I like snakes too. But I wouldn't get a python with my kid here haha.
Speaker 2
Yeah, I agree. When I was a kid I was too scared and had to wait to understand what animals are really like before I was brave enough to get a snake. Theyre just the same. Only way more picky about their treatent.

Speaker 1
My son went to the skate park for the first time this week!
Speaker 2
I bet you're proud! Did you teach him any tricks, or was it too soon?
Speaker 1
Way too soon. But he didn't hate it, so that's progress. He says he wants to go again, so more progress. I think he had a good time.
Speaker 2
If he really likes it you should get him a custom board, I'd have snakes printed on mine.
Speaker 1
I would too! Snakes are very cool. I think I'm going to wait a few months to see if he really likes it, then I'll get him a custom board. He's only a little guy, after all.
Speaker 2
Oh, I love the cute kid boards! I forgot they even existed. He's got a helmet right? I'd get him some stickers for it. 
Speaker 1
Stickers for the helmet is a great idea. Yes, he's got a helmet, elbow, wrist and knee guards, everything. I think the worst thing would be if he broke something learning how to skate. He's just now learning how to fall.
Speaker 2
I know you're a seasoned cook cat skater and all, but you better be wearing a helmet too. Have to lead by example with kids.
Speaker 1
Yep, I get that. I'm mostly there for moral support. I don't skate when I'm with him at the park. I want to be free to help him, if he needs it. As he gains confidence, then I'll bring my board. 
Speaker 2
I'd love to see you show the other kids who's boss. Doing like 1080s and grinding like it's nothing on the tailpipe.
Speaker 1
You know it! The "kids" look at me a little funny when I'm skating, but I'm too old to care what the kids think! Ha! Hey, switching gears, have you gone diving lately?
Speaker 2
Why? I can't show off, there's no kid divers. No, but really I haven't found the chance to have fun lately.

Speaker 1
I couldn't wait to tell you but my son landed his first trick on the skateboard yesterday! It was such a proud parent moment!!
Speaker 2
That's so great! I'm sure that you are so proud of him! I don't see how anyone is coordinated enough to actually skateboard. lol!
Speaker 1
He is much more coordinated than I was at that age. Plus he is fearless. Doesn't worry about scrapes and bruises.
Speaker 2
Isn't that the most important attribute of a really good skateboarder. I'm amazed at how much you guys get beat up, even the really elite ones!
Speaker 1
Tony Hawk is a legend and he has taken the most punishment of any of us. I don't know how he does it.
Speaker 2
I don't see how that man is able to walk at his age. I will admit, though, that skateboarders don't get enough credit for their fitness. I've never seen a fat, out-of-shape one.
Speaker 1
Very true. As long as kids have protective gear, I don't have a problem with the sport. Kids play football, why not skateboarding?
Speaker 2
I totally agree. It's interesting that wearing safety equipment has never seemed uncool in the skateboard world. Some wear it and some don't, but i've never heard of anyone bullying the ones that do choose to wear protection. It seems like it's a good group of folks.
Speaker 1
True. I thought maybe kids would get teased for safety, but after getting hurt, why wouldn't you start to wear equipment? Why keep making the same mistake? 
Speaker 2
I can see that. And I've got to think that before being able to land some of the harder tricks, you must land on your behind a hundred time! lol!
Speaker 1
At my age, there is no amount of safety equipment that would make me feel comfortable. Ah, to be young again!
Speaker 2
But you know how to do ALL of the moves at this point, right? lol!

Speaker 1
If I teach you a few tricks on the skateboard, would you be willing to take me scuba diving sometime with you? 
Speaker 2
I don't think I'd be able to stay on the skateboard without falling off but I'd be happy to take you scuba diving some time. 
Speaker 1
Perfect! What type of gear would I need? I know I need a scuba suit and mask. What else?
Speaker 2
You can rent all the equipment. It would be nice to have some company diving, it's been pretty lonely since the divorce. 
Speaker 1
I bet it has been. You know if ever want to hang out or anything just let me know. We don't have to go skateboarding. We could just go hang out at a bar or something like that. But I'd be happy to try scuba diving. It'll be completely new to me.
Speaker 2
We can rent the gear and then go out on my boat, we'll make a day of it. Since you do all that skateboarding I'm sure you're strong enough for scuba diving.
Speaker 1
You think so? Is scuba diving hard though? It  looks like you need to be fairly skilled. I mean, everyone has to start somewhere but I hope I do well.
Speaker 2
With all the injuries you can get skateboarding I don't think you'll find scuba diving that strenuous. 
Speaker 1
That's a really good point actually. Alright then. What would be a good day for you? Saturday would be the best for me.
Speaker 2
I've had a lot of free time since I was discharged from the army so whenever you can find somebody to watch your kid is fine with me.
Speaker 1
I'll hire the usual babysitter to watch him. Oh by the way, I know of a great restaurant we can go to afterwards if you want? It's got great Thai food.
Speaker 2
That sounds great. I can show you some pictures of my snakes while we're there.
