The thing about hipsters is that they take very seriously trying to make themselves look like they don't take themselves seriously.
In skating or any amateur sport, as athletes we share something in common: the cost of training is quite a burden on our parents or on the athletes themselves trying to find a way to pay for their costs.

Take what you do seriously, but yourself lightly

I am not a Ph.D. in economics or a doctorate in literature that I can afford to take my singing lightly. Even if I sing a jingle, I take it as seriously as oxygen.
Take your work seriously and yourself lightly.

I don't think you can lightly paint a picture. It's an activity I take very seriously.
I've been coaching the sport for a number of years. And I went through many athletes. Some athletes stay with your program for a long, long period of time. Some athletes, they have a different approach as far as coaching style or your philosophies. I totally respect their own opinions - they have the right to choose their own coach.
I dont think you can lightly paint a picture. Its an activity I take very seriously.
