Im a newbie at skating. I cant do tricks and im not very good but at least ive taken my first digger. yeah im happy about that. it was like some kinda intiation. i fell off so now im an offical skater. It feels really good to just find a small hill and ride. u connect with the board and u can take time to really notice stuff. The other great feeling is when u do somthing u havnt done before. My conselor would be proud of me. im conquering a childhood fear and loving it
