This was me up until recently.

My advice: get a board and just go try it.

So much of basic skateboarding is just building confidence on flat ground. It’s hard to hurt yourself when you’re like 2 inches off the ground, at worst I’ve gotten some scraped knees and palms.

I’m an American living and working in Europe for years now. It’s pretty great, although language barriers can leave you feeling a little isolated sometimes. That said, the thought of going back to the US turns my stomach. European working culture is much more… Human. More understanding about things like sick days, better vacation packages and, better worker protections.

I wish the US could be better, but it no longer looks like that will happen in my lifetime so I’ll do my best to find happiness here instead.
