Just bought my first skate board.. ever.

Rode them a lot as a kid but Santa always gave them to me.

Took so much skin off in those days of the GT boards with hard wheels with no grip.

So.. Today I'm thinking there's a nice big long hill near home.. Slipped off the Croc's and put on runners.

I'm thinking nice big slow turns to keep my speed under control.. Well this worked fine till about half way down..

Then things got interesting..

Much faster than I wanted to go.. Started stringing recoveries together as I brought the speed wobbles under control..

The road flattened out at the end and it didn't end in tears.. But.. My heart was nearly jumping out of my chest and my legs were shaking.

For a while there I thought I was going to end up going to work as a patient instead of a worker..

My legs are still shaking.
