I did find the secret to this skateboard thing, if anyone else is planning to try this (at least for riding it)...When your front foot is up front over the wheels pointing forward with all your weight on it, as you push with your other foot, at this point it is kinda wobbly Well, when you finally jump on, (aparently where my trouble was) it is still a bit unstable because all your weight is now on the board at this point...But if put the foot you were pushing with on the back of the board and turn sideways you can balance it almost like riding a bike, And go fast, Omg, so very fun...I bet with some practice I can actually step off the board while its moving, and step back on it with the other foot, it would be a timing thing like jump rope...So excited! |

Riding off curbs still seems advanced for me however, still scary...If I had to guess how that is done, I would say it would most likely be a speed, weight distance thing, The physics involved would almost dictate to be lifting the front wheels, while going fast enough to clear the curb, and of course any garbage...Not really a "plop" but more of a controlled wheelie while moving fast enough. |

Got you guys a fun pic of Dallas, Tx. (The big D.) 😁...Off to Boston. |

Dallas to Boston is one heck of a drive sister! From a former life of mine I can verify pics from almost anywhere within 300 miles of there for any doubters ;) Riding off curbs is where it gets scary (and major injuries can start occurring!) Need to unweight the board almost entirely and maybe (ever so) slightly shift your center of mass more toward your back foot. Safe travels. And find somewhere to play a real video game! :laugh2: |

#10...Va...Seems there is not a flat piece of cement in this whole state I have seen, It is like mountain top, hills going up, or down...I did find out the faster you go the easier it is to balance however, kinda like a bike is harder to ride slow. The hills were difficult, since the little wheels on a skateboard would turn really fast in a very short time on a hill...Not dead. |
