New here :D
« on: September 09, 2020, 04:38:11 PM »
Hi y’all!
So I’m totally new to skateboarding as a whole and actually never stepped foot on a skateboard yet. But I’ve always wanted to give it a try but put it off mainly cuz of being overweight. Well, I still wanna try so finally decided to go for it. At some point, I found myself really attracted to long boarding. Aaand literally today, my mum surprised me with my first ever longboard as a gift. It’s an Osprey board and I’m so excited to get started. Anyway, any tips for a complete beginner? Specially for someone who is overweight (I’m currently 90kg but I used to be heavier and on the way to losing some)
Thanks!

Alan
