Recently my friends started picking up skating again, but I can't skate for crap and don't really want to. Now this seems like a really good thing to try out. Although I have a few questions, I've never done any kind of extreme sport, I've only started going to the gym recently to get in shape and I don't have a tonne of money. So my questions are, can this be picked up by anyone, I'm 19 weigh 101 Kgs, I'm about 5ft 11. I want to get into some kind of extreme sport as it seems good for cardio and these are supposed to be really fun.
My second question is, would I be better buying them? If so what ones should I get, if not is there any sites I can rent them from for a smaller price to see if I can actually use them or base my buy on how often I use them (I don't want a novelty to wear off and then they lie in my cupboard forever).
So those are my questions just now, hopefully if everything goes well I'll buy them on Saturday and get them on Tuesday.
