One year later
Last night after doing a couple of straight skates, we boldly ventured where we had not skated before: the dessert place seven minutes' walk away.
Fifteen minutes later, I stopped short of a street from the finishing line; the last stretch was too hazardous for the high school kid to tackle.
There was zero point satisfaction. Not coz I didn't reach the predetermined destination, but that I cheated.
My skate nanny had to hold my hands up and over the slopes, across the rough patches, and around the obstacles. He might as well have pulled me along on a sledge.
Shame on me.
I trying to street skate (again) was like a high school student attempting a college Physics Paper.

You have a skate nanny? That's awesome...
My skate nanny's free (in both senses). Perhaps that's why he's not very good at coaching, except when it comes to pulling me along.
He's an excellent skater though.
