New Skateboard

Recently, I've been lucky enough for my lovely boyfriend to give me his old deck. Soo.... Ive started skating, its fun, but I've acquired many bruises along with it. Got my helmet sorted, but still need to get elbow and knee pads. Ive longboarded for a similar length of time as I've surfed, but its very different to both. I'm really enjoying it so far, and looking forward to learning some new tricks! :)
