~~Yeah, in my twenties I realized how dumb and boring it was, so I stopped.~~ (Cope. COPE! 🧓 😭 😭 😭 😭 )
Teenage? Still doing it at 30!
is this in reference to something ?
Probably observed behavior of teenaged boys. Also, she's not wrong.
The pull cord to the attic hatch in the hallway ceiling. Who else is with me? When I could reach that without jumping, I knew that day that I was a man (I was twelve).
I took so much of the popcorn off the ceiling my mom got upset.
Why was there popcorn on the ceiling?
Upset? She should have paid you! :)
I saw this often when I was younger, but I never had any desire to do it.
there's a tree near where I used to live with a horizontal trunk segment worn smooth from college kids (effectively adults) doing this
the only thing stopping grown men from doing it is our knees not handling jumps the way they used to :(
I've been skateboarding since '85, and my landing gear is fucked.
So many childish things I would 100% still be doing if I had an MCL.
tony hawk...
It's not just teenagers who like it.
It's just that adults tend to refrain from actually doing it.
also, knees hurt from the thought of it.
Really? Don't know how old you are but I'm in my 40s and I wouldn't call that normal.

My back hurts from reading about it
My heart hurts from dreaming about it
As an adult you did it often enough to know:"yeah, i could reach that.'
getting laughed at for jumping 2 inches off the ground does that to a man
Came to say this. The urge doesn't go away. We just are more selective about picking the best time and place.
There's an emergency fire doorframe I pass a few times a day that is perfect height for me to 360 dunk on. On the rare occasion that nobody else is in that hallway, you know I'm tappin the fuck outta it
