Grown Up Gravity

About

Mike Vakulas

I learned to inline skate in my early thirties, mostly on my own, just because I enjoyed it, and I still skate every week. I first skied on my 33rd birthday and got back on a surfboard 15 years after my first try. I'm not an expert and don't pretend to be. I write about what I got wrong, what finally worked, and what I'd tell a friend who's starting late.
