<p>Find some pals to skate with. best way to learn. Other than that, just keep at it! Everyone progresses at their own rate, and skateboarding is its own reward.

<p>Would it help (confidence wise) if I was to do the run with slideyer wheels? e.g. freerides instead of, say 4pres? Just to boost confidence and then try with a faster 4pres??? becuse I had done the run with other wheels and they were much slower, but still too fast for me! Ahhhahaa</p>
