Suppose Tony Hawk wants to 50-50 grind a rail then kickflip the ensuing gap . Before he can get there, he must get halfway there. Before he can get halfway there, he must get a quarter of the way there. Before traveling a quarter, he must travel one-eighth; before an eighth, one-sixteenth; and so on ad infinitum so that he never actually reaches said rail. Or maybe that was the one with the turtle…
