I picked up a skateboard for the first time in 40 years and decided to relearn the sport. After a year or so, I built a 4 foot mini ramp in my back yard so I can just take a break in the middle of the day, duck out and have a quick session.

What I love about skateboarding is that it is almost impossible to let your mind wander to work related thoughts - you are totally consumed with the next few seconds of your life.

I still can't do any tricks, but I find rolling back and forth on the ramp doing the occasional FS and BS kick-turn incredibly soothing.
