Michiel van Gerven  Thanks Michiel, and Graham, good advice for sure. I'll probably take one or two lessons at the Bayswater place, just so I'm confident I wont be knocking myself out cold.. I've got all the protective gear, but just to be sure about it. Then I'll head to the skate parks. I'll upload some video at some point for feedback. Cheers 👌

Cheers, good advice. 56yr old hanging around skate parks might seem a bit sus though. I'll get a head torch and go at night...

Thanks Jeremy, yes, I had one there, not cheap though, about the same as a surf. Plus an hours drive. I've since found a regular skate place in Bayswater, not surf skate, but I can at least practice dropping in down a slope, which will help ...  Cheers
