I wanted to be able to skate for years, because two of my girlfriends are super cool hanging out in places with their boards and skating, and it's a regular activity that they do but I always kinda felt left out from. I tried to skate a longboard two years ago, but I just failed miserably and I gave up for good. Or so I thought!

Today, I was out with the girls and I did manage to convince myself to at least try my best, and it actually worked after an hour or so! I managed to relatively consistently roll out on a skateboard without supports and without losing my balance! :)

… Now for practicing actually pushing while on the board. But that's the next step! For now I'm super happy about my progress.

Nice! Now that you've gotten that far, you should be able to keep going. I think the balance part is the hardest part, and you proved you can do that.

I fell on my ass so many times trying slippery-feet sports that I did give up.

keep your knees bent

Thank you!

I'm glad I managed to start learning one of the slippery-floor sports before turning 30… gotta use those carefree years the body still works :D
