EXTREEEEEEEEEME

Here are a couple of tricks for you to try when you're bored: the baseball bat ninja move, and the rodeo flip.

My athletic days are, mostly, behind me. I say this because when I was in high school I used to go for the trampolines, both the mini (running launch into a full flip) and the larger one (all kindsa stuff). It'd be nice, but I'd have to lose a lot of weight. Used to be a pretty good hand with a baseball, too. Not batting, though -- one of my first Barney McCloskey League at-bats, I got hit a pitch, and that spooked me for the rest of my lone season. Give me softball, please.

What are your favorite athletic achievements? Recent or dim past.

Long ago,before my family moved to Denver, I was a roller skater. I got really good. I could do split-jumps, skate backwards, and even spin. (Very tricky - you basically have to balance on the edge of one wheel and lean juuuust right.)
Of course, these days I could probably barely manage to do a long toe-touch loop.
