Newbie Pushing Mongo

At the beginning of April, after trying numerous times to get a skateboard, I finally obtained one from Diamond Street Co. in Gwangju, South Korea.

Many people are probably thinking, 'You can't even ride that.' or 'Aren't you too old for skating?' or 'That's a waste of money,' and my response to all those is YES. But, I'm running out of youthful challenges to conquer, so... I figured I might as well.

My goal is to be decent at skateboarding within the year. So far... I've been out maybe... five times, and already I can see significant improvement. I fall and it hurts, but whatever... chicks dig scars.
