Yeah gotta laugh, last time I decided I could still ride a skateboard I was carrying one belonged to a friend whilst walking down the hill on Queensbury St from Nth Melbourne headed toward Carlton. Decided I should ride it, jumped on just after Peel St, whoah, no balance to start out, held it but was moving pretty quick by the time Elizabeth St came rushing toward me, trams traffic and all where's the brakes?!! Then I remembered I could just jump off. Board stopped, I grabbed it - rather without the cool I think - but still grabbed it - walked the rest of the way. And that was ten years ago! I'd give it go still I reckon, but as a mode of transport the traffic gets in the way!
