Scared of Getting Hurt While Skateboarding?

Thursday July 13, 2006
I get a huge amount of e-mail about this. Most people are scared of falling while skateboarding - that's why so few people actually skate! I remember the first time I went to a park and tried to drop in - it was a disaster. But you still need to find a way toget past the fear. Read this new FAQ item, I'm Scared of Getting Hurt While Skateboarding - What Should I Do?
