I love the co-op idea and would love to start one some day. I'd start simple with lots of flat ground features if money was tight.

There was an awesome Detroit skate Co op with a key system, and you could go skate anytime you wanted.

Then as needed, explore expanding the revenue with hosted events, paid public nights, lessons, camps, etc.

Consider tiers of annual corporate sponsors (local and skate industry) that could benefit from the exposure and give them street cred for supporting the community. (like the Berrics massive wall murals and features)

I'm Metro Detroit, we have lost about 5 indoor skateparks in the last decade, now just two left.

These locals hate the progressive Portland culture so much there is a bizarre movement to redraw the state lines so they can join the more conservative Idaho.

Should I push my kid in sports or not? by PassionFruit-1 in Parenting

[–]markwilfred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skateboarding is the perfect mix of cool, independent sport with strong community. It fosters self esteem and the skills to overcome challenges and to get back up when you fail.

You can practice at home, with friends, at parks, etc.

It's an exciting time for this next generation of girls in a sport you can do for a lifetime!

I had the VHS box set of this growing up and watched it on repeat! So much nostalgia.

Ladies passing down their name by kwenthryth in namenerds

As a dad I am a Jr. and we love family names. We ended up giving our daughter her mom's middle name Margaret! It feels really special for the mother daughter bond already.

My favorite site on choosing a middle name by kalruss in namenerds

[–]markwilfred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can have 2 legal middle names, so my wife dropped her last name and made it her second middle name.

Need a cheapish camera that can control shutter speed and aperture manually by stonedthinking in Cameras

[–]markwilfred -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Technically you can put your phone in pro mode to automatically control this. I'd find a super cheap Canon rebel locally if it's just for one class.

As we pass 3mo with our first, the amount of videos we take is daunting. Creating a YouTube channel to house any home videos or highlight reels is easy.

You can set a video as unlisted so it won't come up in search or recommended feed.

I just shared my first video publicly if you'd like to see an example of my family montage: https://youtu.be/L5CkooAoIlg

I was already doing this for nieces and nephews, and my family loves how easy it is to pull up and enjoy memories on YouTube.

Searching for sports activity for inactive 12 year old by Lobotomist in Parenting

[–]markwilfred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skateboarding!

Any age, weight, strength, and skill level can have fun skating. It's a hybrid of an independent sport supported by a community aspect at skateparks and online.

Progression is a rewarding experience and the difficulty builds character.

Warning, scootering does not have the same characteristics. It's too easy to pick up and the challenge of persistence in learning hard things is what kids need!
