Longboard first day

Ok so I go and test this thing out in front of our house. Not bad I tell myself, this thing is smooth. So I get up the nerve to skate down a hill down the street. Boy did I get ahead of myself. I was probably only going about 5 mph but it felt like doing 80 mph in a car through a residential area.

Lessons learned:

1. Just because you read about how to do it on About.com doesn't mean your going to an expert the first time out.

2. When you get older the thought of " holy shit I'm I might fall off this skateboard" runs through your mind much more than "man I look so cool on this thing"
