TFW you're at the puck shooting range at a hockey store trying out sticks that might provide more lift than your own (which is rarely more than no lift at all) ... and you hit the store ceiling. The puck landed on top of the very tall net.
Oops.

Think I actually managed two loop jumps today - nowhere near the wall! May have also managed a flip, but I'm more dubious about my success on that one.

There's a Blue Jackets post showing all the dads visiting their NHL kids. Thanks to Duolingo, I want to post the reply, "show us your tátas", but I don't think any of them are Czech.
