I've never been on a skateboard before and he found a pretty perfect place to start. Obviously because he's amazing at everything he got on and just was perfect immediately, whereas I struggled, a lot! 

Ok so the little skateboard I was on had got slightly rusty from being in a shed for years, but I had a go on his longboard, and it was much easier so.... I decided to buy one for myself! 

The boyfriend showed me lots of different styles, we went to the skates warehouse to have a look, and I decided on a Penny Nickel, the bigger version of the Penny skateboard. It was easier to balance on and I quite like the style. Ok so people will judge me for it and its bright pink so it'll be hard to miss but I kinda love it already. 

I've only been on it twice, but so far it's loads of fun. I'm not good at it but if I keep practising I guess I'll get better no? 

It's a good way to exercise though so maybe I will start getting fitter eventually!! Plus I never spend any time outside anymore and this will be one way to go out more often.
