Hiya, decided to return to skating after righting off my motorbike in a crash. Broke my thumb and a couple of ribs but legs ok so put my biking days behind me and turn to a safer sport (kind of). Living near Sunderland but used to skate in Whitley Bay back in the 80's 90's. Was never very good but after watching some youtube lessons I quite fancy myself at it. Dug out my old board which needs a bit cleaning up but raring to go.
Welcome to the forum Gazmondo . Sorry to hear about your bike crash, I'm not sure skating is much safer but you sound confident so you should be fine. Don't worry about not being very good, I'm crap but it still puts a smile on my face every time.
