(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.
