School of Hard Knocks
I think I'm crazy. My boyfriend is a really good skateboarder, and I have continually dropped hints of how I want him to teach me. Being the angel that he is, he went out and bought me my own board and fixed it up with trucks and bearings and wheels, everything I needed.
Last night, he had me try it out a little. And I think I'm in a little over my head. I couldn't even go in a straight line without him there holding me up on the board. I'm kinda nervous now. I realize I will be falling a lot as I am learning. I told him I won't go near the board again without a helmet and protective padding. I'm otherwising anticipating a large number of contusions and concussions.
I'm still gonna have him teach me. But I have a feeling I'm gonna be hitting the ground pretty hard for a while until I get the hang of it.

Good luck--skateboarding is extremely difficult. It took me many years to start feeling comfortable on a skateboard. The learning curve is almost flat, which is why most people end up quitting for sports that provide faster rewards.
