I think the most important lesson you learned here is you're 24 and not 14 anymore. :D Sure, you can do the same stuff you did and the older you get the more you'll try to prove that to yourself....right up to where you finally realize that when you do mess up, it hurts for DAYS. Then you'll understand that line in the Toby Keith song " I ain't as good as I once was.....but I'm as good once as I ever was." :D
A few months ago I balance walked down and back across the top of my kids swing set....probably only 10 feet in the air but I was showing off for the boy. 20 years ago I could've fell from that high and dropped and rolled and been fine. If I fell this time around though I'm sure a hospital and some surgery would've been in order. :D
