Tip 11: bring bandaids especially if you’re in public. Dude just got mad at me today for having blood on my leg. I forgot I had started bleeding, otherwise I would’ve at least covered it up in between skating and going in the store. But instead I forgot and just walked in the store with a bloody leg...

Enjoy. 39 here. Started with The Rona in 2020. I love it. My biggest challenge besides committing to tricks and steps has been finding the perfect skate spot as Hanz mentioned. I am an introvert and don't mind people being around but too many seems to drain me. I am going to have to get creative and think like a long boarder. 🙃🛹🤙

@@MsValpar Right, it is difficult to find a perfect spot. For me too, because I had to find a spot for my godchild. For me it was important that there are a lot of people (most of them older than 70 years). So I feel better when my godchild will be there without me. The friendly old people will have an eye on her ;)

I personally didn't bother at first with protective gear, until one day I fell and hurt my elbow quite a bit. And I thought okay, no harm done, just get back on the board. But I found I was now scared to try the trick again, and because of that I kept failing it. So I bought wrist and elbow protection, and I'm still not able to do a no-comply, while that was my go to trick before I fell. If I had worn them from the beginning I wouldn't have hurt myself in the fall and wouldn't have this problem. So yeah kids wear your gear

Honestly, as a beginner, wearing full protective gear is smart. I find that, as a beginner, it gives me the confidence to push myself to do things that are just beyond what I've already done. Without the gear, I don't think I would do that because I would be trying to play it safer. It's a confidence thing for me, too.

From personal experience I want to add 1 Wear shin guards and knee pads always especially starting off, 2 Learn how to start and stop on a board in emergency situations (road, pedestrian, scooter kids, fast, slow, etc.) 3 Have a good pocket for your phone that isn't in the way or will fall out of, 4 if wearing headphones be mindful of the volume over long periods of time. Can cause ear ringing, 5 take breaks don't get flustered or exhausted trying one trick and then end up getting injured. Try it again after a few and a massage. 6 ensure that whereever you place your spare parts or bag is in a hidden or secure place where it won't be stolen ESPECIALLY IF THERE ARE KIDS AROUND. 7 warm up and stretch before you start and take breaks regularly especially in hot environments. 8 have a spot with plenty of shade. 9 set goals and master them. 10 have a friend, even if they don't skate they can bike or whatever they can.
