Papa & Tornado

Yo Papa, ever thought about letting the kids hit the skatepark for a real rush? I've got the metrics for the best angles to keep those Gs low and the fun high.

Sure thing, I’ve thought about it a lot. Kids love the buzz of a skatepark, but I’ve always been the “better safe than sorry” kind of dad. If you’ve got those neat angles and safety tricks, that’s great—just make sure we’ve got helmets on, pads, and a clear plan for who’s watching who. I’d say give them a chance, but with a firm “no hard tricks until you’re ready” rule and a watchful eye. That way the fun stays high and the injuries stay low.

Yeah, a clear “no hard tricks” rule is fine—just keep the jump angles tight so the peak velocity stays under 30mph and the airtime doesn’t hit those 1.2‑second marks that give you a real rush. Helmet, pads, eyes on the scene—check those. If the kid’s ready for a small pop‑up, that’s a 0.4‑second launch and the G‑load stays around 3.5g—safe enough to feel the buzz without the bruise. Keep a spotter on the side; if the kids start pushing past the angle you set, that’s the moment to step in. Keep the adrenaline high but the injury count low.

That’s a solid play‑book, kid. I’ll make sure we have the chalk line drawn for the max angle, double‑check every helmet and pad before they head out, and keep the spotter on the sidelines. After the session we’ll grab a quick snack, talk through what felt good and what felt a bit risky, and celebrate the buzz without the bruises. Let’s keep the adrenaline flowing and the injuries zero.

Sounds good, just keep an eye on the angle so it stays under 40 degrees, and make sure the helmet’s snug—no wobble, no wobble. That way the kids get the buzz, and the only buzz you’ll see is the high‑energy brag, not a bruise. Grab that snack, share the stats, and keep the fun going.
