I attempted to learn how many, many times, but I just don't have the coordination and I'm too afraid of getting hurt.

Get a deck from Krooked/Anti-Hero/Toy Machine/Anyone who has their decks made by Deluxe. Deluxe is the only company that gets their wood from within the country, and not having gone through a bazillion different temperature zones while being imported makes a ton of difference.

And Indyz Fo Lyf.

Afraid of getting hurt is why most people do get hurt, ironically.

That is so true. I've hurt myself so much less just committing to all my tricks.

I had a super cheap board that I used to use for travel but always had a pair o these on:

so that when I got to wherever I could do what I do best... (faux)BLADE!!!! :love:

And before you ask "why didn't you just wear blades"..... well the bong/stereo/"Red Eye" (life before Red Bull) had priority in my bag and the soaps doubled up as regular shoes that I wore like a P.I.M.P to school everyday ;0) I couldn't do it (skating) now days tho :( too cliche/lame and I suck at skating so I'd look like another scenester. Though I do occasionally whip out my Spark Pro's and rip up the 'burbs..!
