Jake and I learned how to longboard. We found this lovely trail that ran down Provo Canyon that wasn't too steep but had enough of a hill.
We made our first attempt last Friday night. About 5 minutes into it... I biffed it. It was definitely not graceful...
We decided it would be best if we practiced first. Practiced how to bail that is. And before we went out again, I made us go to the store and purchase knee and wrist pads for me.
It was fun. And a beautiful ride (turns out our longboarding speed is slower than our running speed... pretty pathetic. But we'll get there). We even went again this weekend for a nice four mile stint.
This may become a regular mode of transportation for Jake and I this summer...
Looks like fun. I want to learn how to longboard or skateboard but I am kind of afraid. As soon as I get enough courage, and pads, i will have to try it.
ReplyDeleteI have faith in you :-) It wasn't as bad as I thought once I got the hang of things.
