learn to skateboard

I finally got my skateboarding pictures developed…

So taking in past advice and my budget…I found a great starting board…and knee and elbow pads and wrist protector thingys! I look like a huge dork: twenty-four year old gal riding a skateboard back and forth on the driveway…but its SO MUCH FUN! I can’t wait till I get better at it! :)

I see people skatboarding to school and it look like so much fun. I don’t want to do any fancy tricks or jumps or anything. Just have balance, turn, stop, and maybe be able to jump up a curb. RoscoeSquees idea of practicing for an hour a day sounds do-able. I bet in two weeks I should be fine…but I’m giving myself to the end of summer to learn. Just have to get a skateboard now! I guess I’ll set a time limit on that one too: end of May.
