It’s tempting to focus on just what’s in front of you. Whether it’s the jump you’re about to take into ice-cold quarry water or a new drop in at a skatepark, you know you’re young, strong, and you feel invincible. Smart dudes study every new situation and know their new environments before they plunge in with both feet literally or figuratively.
Take in a 360 view of the room or the park when you enter —
- How does the crowd look?
- Does someone know where you are?
- Are you there with a bf?
- What’s the word going around?
- Anyone to watch out for?
Once you’ve surveyed your surroundings and determine everything and everyone is cool, try something new and have a blast 
If anyone asks you, “Who says you can have so much fun?” Tell them, ‘Aunt Sheri says!’
