The husband must be trying to recapture the glory days of his wasted youth or something. Recently he’s become fascinated by BMX videos, but they leave me feeling conflicted. I loved this sort of thing when I was a teenager (watching more skate videos than BMX) but now as I watch, I’m simultaenously thinking “wow, that’s really cool” and “oh god, their poor mothers”, especially when the lads ride helmet-less. But I don’t get that gratuitous handlebar wiggling. While I understand it adds a certain degree of difficulty, I think it looks kinda dorky. The female skaters are cooler anyhow.
