Here's what Tate's Tweet read, "When I was a toddler, my dad bumped me at random. Pushed me over, nonstop. Eventually, I learned to packpeddle extremely proficiently. So, he pushed harder. When I was older, he did it to Tristan too. I remember watching. We asked him, "Why push us dad?" To which Emory said, So you learn to get up."
