My 13 Year Old Doesn't Want to do Anything!

I should clarify - anything with RISK.

He won't ride a bike - he likes to walk. He asked for a skateboard for Christmas but won't ride it because he says he might get hurt. His school goes on field trips to roller skate & he sits it out because he doesn't want to fall. His school went to a waterpark for a field trip & he barely swam. Mind you, he's never been hurt from any of these things.

This makes me sad. I feel like he's missing out on so many fun experiences. He is ADHD but takes medication. He has alot of friends & no social issues....

What he does enjoy - playing soccer, gaming & building games, going to the movies, making short films with his friend, playing basketball

Is this normal or is it just his age? He used to ride his bike & swim etc all the time when he was little.
