I needed a hobby

I bought a skate a few days ago.  I have been spending too much time behind my computer, and I am quickly growing out of shape.  I decided I needed a new hobby.  I remembered skating (and sucking) as a child, so I decided to skate (and suck) as an adult.  I am 28 which in skate years means I might as well be 50.  I am mostly interested in flatfland skating, but I will try to learn as much as I can.  I am about as close to a beginner as I can get with a two inch ollie and balance which is doing its best to hurt me.

This blog is really just an attempt to update my progress so I can see how far I have come when I get frustrated. I will put tricks I am currently working on along with tips that made them easier and pitfalls that made them harder for me to learn.  This may help any errant internet wanderer who really must be awfully lost and interested in also starting to learn.
