This is a link post This kid is apparently eight years old. He's somewhat talented, determined and resilient.
It's an Instagram link, but worth it.

This is a normal post The bit where he smashed his elbow on the second attempt and had to spend 8 months recovering in hospital, I guess that was edited out as it'd have made the video too long for IG

This is a normal post I like the bit where the Pirate shouts encourgment "Yeeaaarrrr"

This is a normal post Better he picks himself up and tries again
Than learns to give up after his first failure or gets cocooned in bubble wrap by overprotective parents.

This is a normal post The kid is fine
I spent 2 weeks trying to learn how to skate half-pipe at age 10 and we didn't have helmets or arm pads at all. Sure you end up with a few scars, but kids bounce well..

This is a normal post I've no problem with kids choosing to do daft/heroic things themselves
Cool scars from ridiculous home made ramps and throwing yourself out of trees are important and I have several.
I've just never understood the whole handrail riding thing, even as a stupid kid I knew "that's going to fuck up your balls" so avoided it.
But it's the parents whoopin' and a hollerin' in that clip that struck me as most fucked up.

This is a normal post As long as there is no pressure in it and it's the kid following their passion I've no problem.
A youngun from our kickboxing club at our last interclub tournament slipped on the mat, hurt her arm, shook it off and went on to win her fight and a medal. Turned out later she broke her arm. She wouldn't have been able to compete if we'd known, she insisted she was fine.

She was back training the next day with her arm in a cast. Some kids are as tough as old boots.

This is a normal post Give yourself over to the failure inside of you, and let it envelop your soul.
Failure is not out to get you. Failure wants to be your friend, the one you can count on when success, that is ever elusive, eludes you.

Failure is not out to fuck you. Failure wants you to fuck it–to fuck it all.

Failure wants you to be proud of your lack of accomplishments.

Failure wants you to own your own incompetence.

Failure wants you to be confident in your inability to do anything.

Failure doesn't want you to try; failure wants you to fail.

Failure wants you to get over your fear of failure–and what better way to do that than to fail and fail again?

If at first you don't succeed, fail and fail again.

And fail again.

And fail again.

And walk tall. And stand up, and say, "I am a failure.

"I am a failure.

"I am a failure."
