I admire that you could stick to it. My brush with skateboarding was short. Mostly from pressure from my Mom. My sister had hurt herself skateboarding a few years before I wanted a skateboard. It was that very sister who got me one. It was non-descript and I took it out and attempted to play around for a few weeks by myself. We just didn't have any skating in my town and despite pouring over many magazines trying to unlock the mysteries of the board, I gave up.
