one of my roommates last year had a skateboard she didnt use anymore. i tried a few times through the year, on our driveway and the sidewalk in front of our house. they were worried i was going to hurt myself, i insisted i would not. when she moved, i bought it from her for $5. since then i have used it a lot more, though still not very often. i have gone to school, around campus a bit, and back home four times in about a month, each time at the weekend or an evening to avoid when there are lots of people on campus. i improved a lot, especially in the first time i tried that, but im still not very good or confident in my skills of avoiding people. im hoping i will continue to use it more. some people ive talked to who skateboard or use to suggested going to skate park, they said it is a lot of fun, and it seems it would be, though i imagine it probably will involve more of me falling.
