Don't tell me that something you did too

[Heidi L]

(a conversation between two people)
A: A lot of people use long board for downhill skateboarding.

B: Downhill skateboarders go so fast. Have you ever done downhill skateboarding?

A: I have, and it's really lots of fun. But it's also so important to know how to stop.

B: Of course. Don't tell me that something you did too.

A: Well, actually once I did go downhill. And I was going very fast, but the road turned very sharply at the bottom, so I had to jump off of the skateboard.

B: Oh, no! ...

I feel a little strange and confused anout the sentence structure 'don't tell me that something you did too'. Would it be more suitable to have said don't tell me that you did something too?

Thank you.

Note my corrections above.

I had the exact same thought as Dave upon reading your original post. You simply missed hearing the contracted verb 'is'.

Since the next word also begins with the letter 's', the two separate 's' sounds could easily blend into a single sound with rapid speech.
